“I thought God was supposed to be our friend, not our enemy.” | Ray Comfort's Daily Evidence

“I thought God was supposed to be our friend, not our enemy.” | Ray Comfort's Daily Evidence: "Most people are shocked to learn that the Bible doesn’t paint God as a friend of humanity. That picture doesn’t go with their image of God. But the Bible makes it clear that our sins alienate us from Him, and paints a picture of a wicked and guilty criminal before a good Judge."

Today: "God's Gift to Us (Part 1)" ::: Daily Devotions ::: Harvest Ministries

Today: "God's Gift to Us (Part 1)" ::: Daily Devotions ::: Harvest Ministries: "When you're a child, Christmas is all about receiving gifts. In December, your head is swimming with nothing but images of your favorite toys.

End Times: Are there Biblical signs that show us when Jesus will return?

End Times: Are there Biblical signs that show us when Jesus will return? - Kindle edition by Glenn Pease. Religion & Spirituality Kindle eBooks @ Amazon.com.: "There are hundreds of books written about signs of the times showing that we are in the end times because of something the author interpreted from the Bible. The problem with signs of the end times is that there is nothing in the Bible to back up what they say. The opposite is true, Jesus said we will not know when he will return, he will come like a thief in the night, so we need to be ready all the time.
There are many Bible prophecies that have come true and many more that will come true. God has given us an order as to what we are to do. When we finish what we are to do, then Jesus will come again and we will be taken to spend eternity with him in Heaven."

Should we have a Christmas Tree?

Should we have a Christmas Tree?: " The modern custom of a Christmas tree does not come from any form of paganism. There is no evidence of any pagan religion decorating a special holiday tree for their mid-winter festivals, although the Romans celebrated the winter solstice with a festival called Saturnalia in honor of Saturnus, the god of agriculture."

What is the true meaning of Christmas?

What is the true meaning of Christmas?: "The true meaning of Christmas is love. John 3:16-17 says, "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him." The true meaning of Christmas is the celebration of this incredible act of love."

Should Christians celebrate Christmas?

Should Christians celebrate Christmas?: " The debate about whether or not Christians should celebrate Christmas has been raging for centuries. There are equally sincere and committed Christians on both sides of the issue, each with multiple reasons why or why not Christmas should be celebrated in Christian homes. But what does the Bible say? Does the Bible give clear direction as to whether Christmas is a holiday to be celebrated by Christians? "
