Click Here to Go Back To NewLife Main Website. Click Here to Go Back To NewLife Main Website. Thursday, November 11, 2010. Three weeks from today I am going to India. Why you may ask? I have found it very difficult to answer the question I get from people at work, from family, from fellow Christ-followers. What are you going to India for? Is it holiday or business? My answers have varied from (in chronological order starting from last year):. Because God told me to. You are out of your mind, Paul! Movie ...

Billy Graham says this “Have you ever thought about what happened because Christ has come to the world? The Babe in the manger of Bethlehem grew up to become our crucified and risen Saviour – and the world has never been the same.

The question took me by surprise because no one had asked me that in a long time, I gave her an answer which I thought was adequate at the time but had I more time to reflect and scan back over nearly 30 years my answer would have been more comprehensive.

Sometimes in our rush to grab life and get “there”, we speed past and miss the treasures the Creator has hidden in our lives. Here is one that tripped me up recently. The Bible says near its very beginning,. Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness.”. Every time I read that, I understood the main point (because I was taught it!

In the mornings it is better to stay in bed,. And not wake up to face another day of emptiness. With your heart in pieces, where do you go? Alcohol and sleep provide momentary relief.
