Founded on what?

As the years have gone by, many have doubted the principles on which America was founded.   People have not been taught the truth.  These people have not been taught that our nation was founded on Christian principles by Christians who worshipped the one true God!  We see this truth in the documents, decrees, and even quotes by the men who started this country.  Over the last couple of centuries, this important fact has slowly slipped farther and farther out of the minds of Americans.  While some people still know this and believe it, others have twisted the truth bending it until it was no longer true.  Patrick Henry once said, "It cannot be emphasized too clearly and too often that this nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religion, but on the gospel of Jesus Christ."  We should stand for what we believe and show people the truth not just about this fact, but about the gospel, the Bible, and Jesus Christ!

Daily Bread

Verse of the day:  Romans 1:16 ~ "For I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ; for it is the power of righteousness unto salvation unto all those who believe."

We should not be ashamed to share the Gospel, no matter what.  Those around us will respect us more for standing up for our beliefs and most importantly, Christ will acknowledge us before the Father in heaven as He said He would if we acknowledge Christ before men.  However, we should not do it just to be seen of men because Jesus said that if we do it that way we're no better than the Pharisees who do their rituals JUST to be seen of the people around them.  Everything we do should be to the glory of God, no matter what the world thinks.  God bless all!

Forgiveness, Faith, and Freedom

We all have those times in our lives when we feel like everything is falling apart, but we should keep our eyes on Jesus.  Even when things are hard, we have to remember to forgive those who hurt us and put them in God's hands.  We need to trust in God and He will bring us through any situation!  Forgiveness can give you freedom, but we have to trust God along the way.  Just remember that even in the hard times, God still loves you.  Even when friends or family betray you or hurt you, you always have someone there holding your hand.

Myth or Truth?

Two stories we will compare today are the

Epic of Gilgamesh and Noah's Ark.  Some people

believe that these stories are myths while

others believe one or the other to be true.  Both 

are considered accounts of the Great Flood, but

Noah's Ark has more supporting factors standing

behind it.  These stories do have similar traits

such as the fact they both contain a higher 

being with the plot to destroy mankind for their 

evil actions.  They also have similar story lines.  

Noah's Ark and the Epic of Gilgamesh talk

of a Great Flood and the main characters are

required to build a boat.  Though many of these

examples show support for both stories, many

facts show more support for Noah's Ark comparison

with the other story.  In the support of Noah's Ark,

we first come to the fact that this story is found in

the Bible.  The Bible is the Word of God that never

changes and has no errors.  Therefore, this story must

be true based off of that fact alone.  However other

facts suggest this to be true.  One argument is the

structure of the boat.  In the Epic of Gilgamesh,

Gilgamesh is instructed to build a boat made from the

reeds his house is made of.  If anyone tried to sail

on this type of boat, it would fill with water and sink.

On the other hand, the boat Noah constructed was made

of strong wood they wood withstand the water.  Also,

the Ark that Noah built was big enough for his family

and all of those animals.  In the other story we see that

the boat was barely big enough for Gilgamesh himself.

In conclusion, we see that both have some support, but

Noah's ark seems to have reinforced support as the

true story of the Great Flood.
