God is so much bigger than we think He is. I have seen people change in ways that would have never happened if they had never come to know Christ Jesus. I have seen myself change because of having a relationship with Jesus.

There are people in this world who call themselves christian, but deny who Jesus really is. These people say Jesus is not God. They are truly mistaken and will suffer God's wrath. Jesus is God, no doubt about it. The Jews would not have picked up stones to stone Jesus to death if He had not made the claim to be God. How could an "angel" save us from our sins as according to Jehovah's Witnesses? It couldn't, because that is not what God made angels for. It makes more sense that God himself came to this earth, born of a virgin and lived a perfect life making Him a perfect sacrificial lamb. We humans were unable to fulfill the law and since God is able to do so, He became the solution to the problem. Jesus is the answer to our question and is fully man and fully God.

Thoughts

The Answer

By Shane Barnard

i've tried more of me
and i've come up dry
trading You for things
things that go away
my happiness is found in less
of me and more of You
my happiness is found in less
of me and more of You

i have found the answer is
to love You and be loved by You alone
alright! alright! alright!
You crucify me and the world to me
and i will only boast in You
alright! alright! alright!

i'm so satisfied
at the thought of You
growing up in me
covering everything
my happiness is found in less
of me and more of You
my happiness is found in less
of me and more of You

You are, You are (loved by me)
You are, You are (You're loved by me)
You are, You are (You're loved by me)
You are, You are, You are

Life

While I was falling asleep last night, I got to thinking about how amazing living organisms are. I took cell biology last quarter and learned a lot about how individual cells work and make up living organisms. God is truly creative and exact in His work. And to think that people believe that there is no creator and that this world and everything on it are here by mere chance. Things are too complicated to not be created by a supreme being who wants a relationship with each one of us. For me, knowing how our bodies work strengthens my faith and concretes the idea of a personal God even more.
Human cells are comprised of a membrane, cytoplasm, organelles and DNA. The membrane is made up of phospholipids or fat, proteins and carbohydrates. The phospholipid part allows certain things through it both in and out of the cell. What the phospholipid part cannot let through, the protein channels pull through.
