Jesus' Miracles, Signs of Divine Powers?

Here's my thought about... "PRAISE GOD, GLORY BE HIS NAME. JESUS CHRIST IS THE GLORIOUS NAME. EVERY KNEES SHALL BOW AND EVERY TONGUE SHALL CONFESS THAT JESUS CHRIST IS LORD." "This, the first of his miraculous signs, Jesus performed at Cana in Galilee. He thus revealed his glory, and his disciples put their faith in Him." John 2:11 Anyone who does not believe in God finds the concept of a miracle, any event that contradicts and even suspends the laws of nature, impossible to accept. That is, if God does not exist, only nature controls life. Therefore no miracle is possible and any account of a miracle cannot be true. This logical argument against miracles was first formulated by Benedict Spinoza (1632-1677). Spinoza's argument can be summarized as follows: A miracle violates natural laws. Natural laws are immutable. It is impossible to violate immutable laws. Therefore, miracles are impossible. However, if God exists, He created the natural laws, so it s...

Miracle Or More?

Here's my thought about..... For quite some time I have been trying to get my son to understand Christianity ever since I was saved. Unfortunately, when I was younger and raising him I thought I was saved, but I really wasn't. My examples probably weren't the best and I didn't understand the true meaning of being saved until after my son had moved out on his own. We attended church in his childhood, and went through the motions not realizing that they were the most influential years back then. His careless lifestyle that he has today leaves me thinking that I'm not so sure that he's on the right track. He became a father to my beautiful grandson this last year but let his job go and likes to party a bit too much. It is a constant nagging feeling that I have, to just be assured he is saved or living the Christian life. I frequently talk to him about Christianity and how to be saved by accepting Jesus Christ as his Savior. Praying consistently for the Holy Spirit ...

Giving Your Addiction To God - The Secret To Finding True Peace

Here's my thought about... How wonderful that Jesus Christ still heals people today... My Name Is Jay and I'm an addict. I stood up in a 12 step meeting on August of 2002 and said those beautiful words that began my Miraculous Journey towards a beautiful new life. I surrendered my will to God that day and by his mercy and his grace I have never used drugs again. That's only the beginning however. God wanted to show off a bit so he just kept the miracles flowing. This is my testimony of God's great love for us. If you have found it I can assure you it was not by mistake. There are no coincidences in God's world. I am confident that you will find my journey will inspire you. God Bless. I've made many mistakes in my life and I've suffered the consequences that came with them. Back in 1979 I was convicted of Robbery and at the tender age of 19 and I was sentenced to 3 years in prison of which I served 2 1/2 years of pure hell. That was 30 years ago and it sti...

Miraculous Sign

Here's my thought about... Jesus Christ second miraculous sign recorded in the book of John 46 Once more he visited Cana in Galilee, where he had turned the water into wine. And there was a certain royal official whose son lay sick at Capernaum. 47 When this man heard that Jesus had arrived in Galilee from Judea, he went to him and begged him to come and heal his son, who was close to death. 48 "Unless you people see miraculous signs and wonders," Jesus told him, "you will never believe." 49 The royal official said, "Sir, come down before my child dies." 50 Jesus replied, "You may go. Your son will live." The man took Jesus at his word and departed. 51 While he was still on the way, his servants met him with the news that his boy was living. 52 When he inquired as to the time when his son got better, they said to him, "The fever left him yesterday at the seventh hour." 53 Then the father realized that this was the exact t...

The First Miracle

Here's my thought about... This is the first recorded miracle (sign) by Jesus Christ in the Gospel of John. The Wedding at Cana 1 On the third day there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there. 2 Jesus also was invited to the wedding with his disciples. 3 When the wine ran out, the mother of Jesus said to him, "They have no wine." 4 And Jesus said to her, "Woman, what does this have to do with me? My hour has not yet come." 5 His mother said to the servants, "Do whatever he tells you." 6 Now there were six stone water jars there for the Jewish rites of purification, each holding twenty or thirty gallons. 7 Jesus said to the servants, "Fill the jars with water." And they filled them up to the brim. 8 And he said to them, "Now draw some out and take it to the master of the feast." So they took it. 9 When the master of the feast tasted the water now become wine, and did not know where it came from (t...

I Believe In Miracles

I looked down at my tires on my van and I was amazed. I had a good half inch tread left even though I had over sixty thousand miles on my tires. To me I didn't know it was a miracle, but when my son, the mechanic, looked at them, he was astonished. So many times we take God for granted, we think He doesn't see our needs or understand how hard our life has become. But when we take the time to slow down from our fast paced life we see the miracles. Walking outside my door, I admired all of the trees in my yard and the trees that decorated my neighbors yards. I began to notice that many of the pine trees were turning brown and dying. A twenty-five foot pine tree stood stately in my front lawn and I was afraid that whatever was killing my neighbors trees would affect my tree as well. I wasn't sure how to protect my tree and so I consulted an expert. He said it was a disease that was taking all the pine trees in our area. I prayed for God's protection over my tree and the...

God's Purpose...Peace and Life

Here's my thought about... God loves you and wants you to know Him so He can fill you with peace and give you real life -- forever. The Bible says: : Because of our Lord Jesus Christ, we live at peace with God (Romans 5:1) God loved the people of this world so much that He gave His only son, so that everyone who has faith in Him will have eternal life and never die (John 3:16). Jesus said: "I came so that everyone would have life, and have it in its fullest" (John 10:10). Since God planned for us to have peace and real life right now, why are so many people hurting or angry inside? God created us in His own image so we can know Him personally and have a joy-filled life. He did not make us as robots to automatically love and obey Him, but gave us a will and a freedom of choice. Since the beginning of time, we have chosen to disobey God and go our own willful way. We still make this choice today. This res...
