Mosque at GROUND ZERO? Yea or Nay? Click these words

I truly believe that this is a Muslim attempt to set up a VICTORY MARKER for their

success in taking 2500-plus lives here. History proves they do this everywhere they

win a battle. NO, ABSOLUTELY NOT near, around, or even in this country! When will

we become as WISE AS SERPENTS?

"People Reaching People "

So faith comes from hearing, that is, hearing the Good News about Christ."
— Romans 10:17

It is worth noting that no person in the New Testament came to faith apart from the agency of a human being. Have you ever stopped and thought about that? We can find example after example.

There was the Ethiopian (see Acts 8:26-39). There are many ways that God could have reached this man from a distant country. He could have sent an angel to meet him. Instead, the Lord sent an angel to Philip and told him to go. So Philip went and proclaimed the gospel to that man, and he believed.

Then there was the Philippian jailer (see Acts 16:27–34). God could have reached him in many ways. Instead, He allowed Paul and Silas to be incarcerated and to ultimately proclaim the gospel, bringing that man and his family to faith.

We can think of Cornelius, a man who was searching for God (see Acts 10). An angel spoke to him and told him he needed to meet a man named Simon Peter. The angel explained where to find him. The angel could have given him the gospel. But God chose to use Simon Peter.

What about Saul? While it is true that he was converted through an encounter with Christ on the Damascus Road, his conversion was sandwiched between experiences with two people who influenced him. First, it was the witness of Stephen that softened Saul's heart and made it receptive to the seed of the Word when he was confronted by Jesus Christ. Afterward, God sent Ananias to follow up on Saul and pray for him to receive the power of the Holy Spirit.

So you see, God used people. And He wants to use you.

How is that so many believers DON'T KNOW what the Bible says?

It never ceases to amaze me as to what people who say they belong to God, and have been saved, spout from their learned lips the beliefs that are totally contrary to The Word of God! And better yet are not even recorded in His Word! How are we able to say a preacher is preaching The Word of God [TRUTHFULLY] when we have no idea what God's Word says because we've never read it? IT IS WRITTEN: ......."let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged." [Romans 3:4} Has you anten-Ni ever raised up and you questioned what your preacher or any preacher claimed was GOSPEL when you knew it was not in The Word of God/ IT SHOULD! Hao can all men be liars and God the Truth IF you don't even know what the truth is from God's own mouth? WHAT-CHA-THINK? You know what? I remember when I was in college, getting letters from my future wife that she had sprinkled with her perfume. I stuck that letter in my jacket pocket and pulled it out ever so often to just SMELL HER, and read her words of Love over and over and over. Soon enough my cloths, my nose, my walk and my talk begain to be just like her, SMELLED GOD'S WORD LATELY?
