It's yours to win or lose
Hebrews 12:1
"Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us."
What has God set before you? Are you giving your best? Will you have the joy of seeing the finishing line and hearing the crowds cheer as you win?
No Fluke
A number of years ago, 2 scientists worked out the odds of any one man in all of history fulfilling even only eight of the 60 major prophecies fulfilled by the life of Christ.
The probability that Jesus of Nazareth could have fulfilled even eight such prophecies would be 1 in 100,000,000,000,000,000
The authors stated that this would be as many US silver dollars as would cover the state of Texas two feet deep. Texas is 2.5 times the size of New Zealand. A silver dollar is about the same size as our $2 coin. Only God could pick out one specifically marked hidden coin out of all those coins on His first attempt.

Did You Know ?
Did you know that Jesus is really God?
This prophecy was written more than 700 years before Jesus was born and is a declaration of who He is.
Isaiah 9:6
For to us a child is born,
to us a son is given,
and the government will be on his shoulders.
And he will be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
The World Before Time Began
Genesis 1: 16 - 19 "For God made 2 huge lights, the sun and moon, to shine down upon the earth - the larger one, the sun, to preside over the day and the smaller one, the moon, to preside over the night; He also made the stars. And God set them in the sky to light the earth, and to preside over the day and night, and to divide the light from the darkness. And God was pleased. This all happened on the 4th day"
Time as we know it didn't begin until the 4th day. Where did the Light come from before then ?
Rise and Shine
Don't just do something - Sit there
Are you in a hurry to get on with life ? Why not sit still and wait to hear from God first.
