Did you know that you have a special anniversary with God? There is a special time that He wants to spend with you? A time that commemorates something special. Yet, we always forget it. If we would get angry, disappointed, or hurt when our loved ones forget the times, events, or special occasions that are most important to us, why do we think that it’s ok to do the same thing to God? In this simple presentation, the Sabbath is explained and its relevance to Christianity today.
Have you ever felt misunderstood and misrepresented? Are there ever times when you’ve tried to do the right thing and you’ve been misinterpreted? There are times when it seems like the more you try to do what’s right, people object. This is especially true whenever you try to live your life for God or whenever you seek to do whatever He has planned for your life. The closer you get to God, the more you can seem at dissonance with the rest of the world.
What if there was a way to know the future of our world and what if that future could be filled with hope? What if there was a bright and exciting future that has been planned for you since the beginning of time? With all the chaos and uncertainties in our world today, many are concerned about the future of our nation, the stock market, politics, and even the fate of the planet itself. But what if everything: the wars, the divisions, the disasters… were all on schedule, pointing us toward a future event that would change life as we know it?
What if everything you knew was a lie? What if you have lived your whole life seeing, but never really seeing or hearing, but understanding nothing? What if all the answers have been within your reach, but you were never able grasp them? What if you’ve lived almost your whole life, with a blind fold on? Would this news surprise you? What if I told you that there’s a way to take the blind fold off? Would you want to get rid of it? Or would you rather leave it on?
Our time on earth is limited. Days are numbered! And because days are numbered, we have to live for what really matters and not waste time on the things that don’t. Some people learn that lesson the hard way, spending their entire lives and the majority of their time on what means nothing! Often, when they realize it, it’s too late.
In these uncertain times, everyone is looking for financial security. Everyone is looking for safety in investments. Yet, as people take on the extra hours and seek to make ends meet… the pursuit of money and financial security has led to one of the biggest investment losses of our time: like the investment of our children!
Does life have a purpose? What is the value of human life in the eyes of God? If I struggle with an addiction and my life is messed up, does God still care about me? Does the Bible speak to feelings of depression and low self-esteem? Is there someone who values me when it seems like no one cares and I feel like giving up? Is there hope for someone like me? John Spellman hosts Gems of Truth.
