Have you had your Joy Juice
today? I believe with all my heart that
drinking in the Joy of Jesus is the best decision you can make!
What do you believe? What do you believe about the future of our
country? About the after-life? What do
you believe regarding your faith? Jonathan Whitfield was preaching to coal
miners in England. He asked one man, "What do you believe?"
"Well, I believe the same as the church." "And what does the
church believe?" "Well, they believe the same as me." Seeing he
was getting nowhere, Whitfield said, "And what is it that you both
believe?" "Well, I suppose the same thing."
Would
you be guilty of answering those questions the same way? Or do you know that you know that you know
what you believe? Is your belief in God
built on the firm foundation of the Word of God…The Holy Bible?
Charles Spurgeon claimed that 98
percent of the people he met--including the criminals he visited in England's
prisons--told him that they believed the Bible to be true. But the vast
majority had never made a personal, life-changing commitment to Jesus Christ.
For them, "believe" was not an active verb. Spurgeon challenged: “I would recommend you either believe God up to the hilt, or else not
to believe at all. Believe this book of God, every letter of it, or else reject
it. There is no logical standing place between the two.”
(“Be satisfied with nothing less than a faith that swims in
the deeps of divine revelation; a faith that paddles about the edge of the
water is poor faith at best. It is little better than a dry-land faith, and is
not good for much.”) http://www.sermonillustrations.com/a-z/b/belief.htm
We
all should know what we believe! Joyfully believe God “to the hilt”!
