The prosperity gospel is like a drug. Don't take it, or it can be harmful for you. It's not the true biblical gospel. God's will for us to be conformed in the image of His Son. Romans 8:29

Hello everyone! I just wanted to share my stories before I go to sleep tonight. Today after my first English class, I felt I was not going to witness to anyone, but then I saw a student sitting on a chair by himself. I just greeted him and asked him if he was playing a poker game on his iPod and he said he was. Then me and him started talking a bit and I introduced myself and so did he. His name is Drauman (I don't think I spelled his name right haha). Me and him talked a little bit, and then I asked him where he was from and he said he is from an area of India called Punjab. Then I asked him about his religious faith and he told me that Sikh. We talked a little bit about his faith and then I transitioned to mine and shared the biblical gospel with Drauman. I was listening intently to everything I was saying about what Jesus did for us and how He was the greatest gift to the human race. I told Drauman that the reason I shared all that I did with him was because I cared about his soul and where he would spend eternity after he died. He thanked me at the end and shook my hand happily and I left. After my English class today when I met my friend Marina, she offered me some Easter themed M&M's. She then asked me about the celebration of Easter and what it was about. I told her that it is not about a fictional "Easter bunny" who comes to people's houses and leaves candy and other various treats like "Santa Claus." I told her that Easter is the celebration of the Resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ and how He conquered death! He is the only one to rise from the dead and more than 500 eyewitnesses saw Him! Wow!!! It's the greatest celebration ever, knowing that Jesus has triumphed over death and has kept His promise of offering eternal life to all those who will receive it by faith in Him. I then shared more about Jesus with her and about the greatest news ever told, the biblical gospel. And I told her the same thing that I said to Drauman earlier, that I cared about her soul. The gospel must be shared with everyone my brothers and sisters! Jesus does not want one soul to die and go to Hell forever. Keep sharing that gospel with everyone you meet!!! And keep planting those seeds! Praise the Lord!!!

Our sin may be great, but our Savior is even greater. Amen!!!

Without the Lord Jesus Christ, we are literally nothing. We would never bear any fruit without our God and our Savior Jesus Christ.

Follow the Lord God Almighty who is Jesus Christ. Don't follow the world or what people try to tell you. Follow the Word of God which is the bible. It is the truth and always will be forever and ever. Amen!

Today was a very productive day for me doing more homework yet again. I now find it fun and fulfilling doing homework instead of a boring task. The reason I think like that now is because I prayed that the Lord would help me focus more on my school work and I believe He is giving me this mindset on how I am viewing it which is interesting. Then in the evening today I went to my English ministry bible study at my Church building with my friends and others that came over. We went over the book of Philippians and talked about it. We were talking about how can we rejoice in the Lord and what are we thankful to the Lord for specifically. I had a nice relaxing time at the bible study just getting away from all the school work I was doing and being able to fellowship with my brothers and sisters. Everything was fine driving back to my family friend's house and I was close to home when a car unexpectantly swerved into my lane and was coming towards me, then swerved back out. I almost died in another head on collision! I could have been killed, but I quickly moved out of the way and avoided the vehicle. I am thankful to the Lord that I am still alive tonight or that could have been ugly! But then again, I would still have a reason to rejoice because I would be in the presence of the Lord Jesus Christ for all of eternity. So I would not be afraid of death since I would know where I would be going. That proves my brothers and sisters that you never know when you can leave off the earth and into eternity. Life goes by so fast and is so quick. We are here for just a small amount of time then off into eternity, Heaven or Hell forever and ever...Preach the gospel at all times at all moments and ask the Lord to use you every day! Time is precious and so are these souls. God bless my brothers and sisters!

My philosophy class was very interesting today. Today we took notes as usual, but then our professor told us an interesting story about a professor at San Francisco State University. This professor was a Christian apologetic or someone who defends the Christian faith. He has been a Christian apologetic for more than 25 years, but then something happened. This Christian apologetic that has been defending the Christian faith for a very long time, claimed that he "sensed" the presence of the Lord Krishna, which is one of the many gods in the religion Hinduism. He turned away from defending the Christian faith and placed his faith in something called Hare Krishna which is an Indian religious movement where you sing, dance and devote yourself to union with god or Brahman. Did you understand what I just wrote? Usually this happens the other way around. How can someone be so deeply devoted to defending the Christian faith, but then "feels" the presence of a god that does not exist and fall away from this faith and turn to something that is a lie? There is only one reasonable explanation. This man has not studied his faith that well and as has turned away to lies. It's just like it says in the bible "For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires , they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths." 2 Timothy 4:3-4 Doesn't that pretty much rack up most of the human race and also this speaks about how people will be deceived in the last days by false teachers. Watch your back. These people that won't listen to us, listen to the lies of the world and not from born-again Christians who are true believers in the Lord Jesus Christ. They listen only what the world tells them. "They are from the world and therefore speak from the viewpoint of the world, and the world listens to them. We are from God, and whoever know God listens to us; but whoever is not from God does not listen to us. This is how we recognize the Spirit of truth and the spirit of falsehood." 1 John 4:5-6 Also the Word of God tells us to stay away from philosophy and things of the world. "See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the basic principles of this world rather than on Christ." Colossians 2:8 The lies of the world can be very deceptive, that is why always go by the what the bible says instead of what the world tells you. Don't end up like that San Francisco University professor that has been led astray by the enemy to believing in lies. Focus on the Word of God and follow what is says no matter what. Their will be more evil in the coming days so watch your back, and keep praying and focusing on Christ. God bless!
