The world is full is things we just know, well, because everyone says so. Everyone says that if you pick up a toad, you will get warts. Everyone says that sharks never sleep. But are these things really true? How do you really know what is real and what is rumor? There are a lot of stories going around about God and His workings that are false, too.
Everyone knows that God is an old man with a long beard sitting in a cloud. He has to look like a man because we are made in His image, and we look like men, right? But turn this around and look at God first. John 4.24 says that God is a Spirit. If God is a spirit, then there must be a part of a Christian that is spirit, too.
Have you heard someone say they won’t worship a god who lets bad things happen? Well then, who has rulership over the earth right now? In Genesis God said, Let us make man … and let them have dominion …over all the earth…. So originally God gave the rulership (dominion) to mankind. What happened? Adam gave up the dominion to the adversary, who then offered a portion of it to Jesus, saying: All these things will I give thee (Matt 4.9). You can’t offer what you don’t possess. So of course bad things happen; the adversary has dominion over the earth!
The moral of the story is: when looking for the truth, don’t rely on rumor or what people say. Go to the authority, the one in charge, and find out. If you want to know about God, don’t ask an atheist, look in the Word of God.

Hi Alice and Mark It is me Linda.I wanted to ask if you would help me pray for my exs family.,They lost their sister and daughter yesterday to cancer?
many prayers are with you and their family
Linda- I will pray for them. I know that there will be a period of mourning and loss for them, but even in the middle of this, God can bless them. And we know that the next sight their sister/daughter will see is the return of Jesus.
thank you very much,It means a lot to me.I know that she will see Jesus soon. Linda
