Strength in God

Many questions are asked about religion, especially when we turn to Christ. When when we turn our lives to Christ, it seems that the devil tries harder to knock us down, but Christ won the battle for us when he bore pains upon the cross for our sins. It is ok to have questions, and it is a blessing to be able to help one another know more about Christ.

The purpose of this page is to answer questions pertaining to religion and belief in God; and although the answers may not be perfect, they are answered with prayer and as God would want them to be.

Question: What led you to create a website ministry? How effective are web ministries?

A. Good question! I believe that Jesus is the ONE WAY, ONE TRUTH, ONE LIGHT. Our missionaries do a great job reaching out to foreign lands, some lands of which the bible is against the law. With the advent of computer, more and more people are able to get information on-line from a home computer or a cell phone even! This means that in those lands where Christianity is banned, web ministry can have a defined purpose of reaching those affected by the persecution of beliefs. This isn't to say that we don't still need missionaries to physically "go" into foreign lands, but that web ministry is an added tool. Some people are also very shy about going into a church building, in our own communities. What a better way to let people know about a church, about Christ, salvation, and God--bring it to their home computer where they are a click away.  I was led by God to begin this web ministry using my own personal talent of writing, which has been a life-time hobby.

Question: When did you turn your life to Christ?

A. I fought for a long time, thinking that I could do things on my own; when in reality, God is our PROVIDER. I experienced homelessness for about 2 years, during which time I came to understand that the homeless are just like any other person. I realized that when we pass someone on the streets in need, we could be encountering an angel "unaware"......I gave my life to Christ on Easter of the year 1999, in which I was baptized at University Place Christian Church of Enid Oklahoma. It was an awesome experience. Since that day, I have taken part in the birth of a church, hosting its congregation in my own apartment for several months! Since I gave my life to Christ, I have seen many ups and downs-it's not been an easy road. But it's been alot better with Christ on my side!

Question: What is FAITH

A. Faith is the assurance of things hoped for, evidence of the things not seen. An example of faith-everytime you sit in a chair, do you simply sit, or do you examine the seat to make sure it will hold you? Everytime you wake up, do you give thought to being able to see, or do you simply open your eyes? These are small examples of faith. Other examples of faith: we don't see the the air we breathe, but we believe. We don't see the wind, but we believe. We may see the effects, such as our breathe on a cold morning, or the trees rustling in the wind; but we don't physically see, and we still believe. I believe that Christ died for our sins on the cross over 2000 years ago. I wasn't there physically, but I can feel the Holy Spirit move inside me, and that's awesome!
