As Jesus did

It may be helpful to let the reader know that these thoughts are coming to me fresh off of Easter Sunday.  It’s Monday, and I’m supposed to be resting.  But in rest, I find myself reflecting on the day just past. 

I remember my first Easter some twenty-two years ago.  I was thirty years old at the time, and had only two weeks earlier given my life to Jesus Christ.  I had no idea what I was getting into, but I knew that ‘this’ was really big stuff, and that my life would never be the same. 

Now, with the benefit of twenty-two years of walking with Jesus, I can say that, “yes it is true:  I had no idea what I was getting into.  And yes, it’s big!  And most assuredly, I hope and pray that my life will never revert back to what it was.”

 It is amazing to be saved.  I look at others who live outside of God’s kingdom, and I recognize how profoundly God has re-organized my thoughts, bringing me peace in the process.  I see people worrying, complaining, and getting stressed about things, and I thank God that I can look and say ‘I don’t have to go there.’ 

Does that mean I can just be apathetic, sit back and let God run the show while I sit by and applaud him from my comfortable vantage point?  Certainly not!!!  But it also doesn’t mean that I can rant and rave while purporting to serve him.  In fact quite the opposite.  The things that stir my heart - knowing that they also stir the heart of God - must move me to engage the world with passion and purpose, all the while speaking and acting in the manner of Jesus Christ who is both my Savior and my Lord.

 As we reflect on the Easter celebration, we too, like the first disciples, bear witness to the Living Presence of Jesus Christ.  Those disciples saw Jesus, and at great cost went forth into the world to proclaim his death, his resurrection, and his promise of life to those who believe.

 If we have seen Jesus, we cannot but do the same.  We too must go forth into the world to proclaim his death, his resurrection, and his promise of life to those who believe.  No matter the cost.  Lives hang in the balance.

  • Hi
    I have some fact to share with your....
    Alternative To Typical Synthetic Supplements Is Needed, Say Experts
    Entire dietary supplements is currently a subject of worldwide interest. A profusion of proof has recently emerged suggesting that common synthetic multivitamin supplements may be hazardous to your health. Goran Bjelakovic, a reputed scientist from the School of Copenhagen, headed up an enormous meta-study that looked at the results of 67 placebo-controlled trials previously performed to look for the effects of supplement and anti-oxidant supplements on longevity. In the end, the analysis mixed observations of 232 000 test subjects. By using such a large population sample, a report can become a lot more powerful in relation to spotting large-scale developments and overcoming human being bias.
    The results of the analysis, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, were nothing less than shocking. Looking at patients with diabetes, cardiovascular disease and lung tumor, as well as healthy, normal individuals, there was no apparent advantage to taking popular fractionated supplements like Vitamin A, Supplement E, Vitamin C, Selenium, or beta-Carotene. In fact, the results went in the contrary direction - there is a greater chance of death (16 percent) amongst Supplement A users, a 7 percent higher death count among beta-Carotene users, and a 4 percent mortality increase in Vitamin E users. Retinol and Beta-Carotene, promoted as anti-carcinogenic agents, may promote lung cancers. That is right - pills promoted as assisting you towards an extended, healthier life are actually correlated with a speedier demise. This scholarly study used typical supplements on the marketplace made from synthetic vitamins.
    To add salt to the wound, a recent research published in the Uk Journal of Nourishment under the unimaginative title of "Ascorbic Acid Supplementation Does Not Attenuate Post-Exercise Muscle Soreness Pursuing Muscle-Damaging Exercise But May Delay The Recovery Process" indicated that supplementation with anti-oxidants from synthetic resources may reverse lots of the beneficial ramifications of physical training.
    Now, this isn't to say that anti-oxidants or vitamin supplements are bad for you. Definately not it - these supplements were created on the basis of solid science. Anti-oxidants remain thought to protect cells from the ravages of free radicals. The nagging problem, rather, is the essential proven fact that you can get those advantages from synthetic isolated compounds. Disease and the aging process are far more complicated than test-tube studies can account for usually. Furthermore, the problem of bioavailability is an ever-present concern. Many typical synthetic supplements include large sums of the advertised vitamin, but absence the additional compounds had a need to ensure that their key elements are actually absorbed by your body. Passing through the digestive system direct, these 'miracle health remedies' often wind up doing little beyond giving people expensive urine. To the rescue...Entire Food Supplements.
