Is God Alive?
by David G. Rose
Years ago, 19th-century German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche is credited with the phrase “God is dead.” At different times since, someone revives the phrase hoping to confuse people. In April 1966, TIME Magazine placed on their cover the question, “Is God Dead?”
This question not only riled up Christians, but it also challenged the atheists who thought God never existed, much less died. And in the middle of all this stirring, God awakened the Church in a powerful move of the Holy Spirit. The answer to the question is two-fold: God has always existed and He is still alive.
The existence of God can be plainly seen by anyone who looks in faith. Psalm 14: 1 KJV declares, “The fool hath said in his heart there is no God.” But the wise man knows that there is a God. Look around. The Heavens declare His handiwork (Psalms 19). Though our natural minds cannot completely understand who God is, we know that we see His presence in human beings, nature, science, and the laws of the Universe.
The Bible declares the existence of God and is the best document to strengthen our faith in Him. The Bible teaches that God existed before the worlds were made. Psalm 90:2 ESV, “Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever You had formed the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting You are God.”
You may say that you reject this truth because you cannot understand it. But, our minds are finite and are simply not made with sufficient capacity to grasp the length and depth of infinite God. Who but God can understand “from everlasting to everlasting?” Isaiah 55:8-9 reveals that His ways are higher than our ways, His thoughts are higher than our thoughts.
While it is true that God has always existed, the Bible also tells us that He will always exist. Long after this earth burns up, God will continue to rule and reign. As we read in Revelation 4:8-9 ESV, “And the four living creatures, each of them with six wings, are full of eyes all around and within, and day and night they never cease to say, “Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come!” And whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to him who is seated on the throne, who lives forever and ever.”
Is there a God? It would be impossible to prove that He does not exist. The proof is in scripture, in Creation, and in our hearts. As it says in Ecclesiastes 3:11 ESV, “He has put eternity into man’s heart.” God has placed into the heart of every person a sense of the Divine and a hope for Eternal Life.
Consider the hymn by A.W. Dicus:
There is, beyond the azure blue;
A God, concealed from human sight.
He tinted skies with heav’nly hue
And framed the worlds with His great might.
Chorus
There is a God, He is alive,
In Him we live and we survive;
From dust our God created man,
He is our God, the great I Am.

Finally....
For stay at home Christians...
We started this ministry with you in mind. Recent reports state that many Christians no longer attend a church. They have been offended, or have to work, or they cannot physically leave their home, and so they stay at home.
Our heart is to reach out to you with Bible studies, hospital visitation, prayer for the sick, serving the Lord's Supper, counsel, etc. Just call on us and we will be of ministry if possible.
There is no obligation or membership. When you need personal ministry, click here for more information >>>>

The city of David
SCRIPTURE
& PRAYER
1 Chronicles 11:5-7 ESV - The inhabitants of Jebus said to David, “You will not come in here.” Nevertheless, David took the stronghold of Zion, that is, the city of David. David said, “Whoever strikes the Jebusites first shall be chief and commander.” And Joab the son of Zeruiah went up first, so he became chief. And David lived in the stronghold; therefore, it was called the city of David.
Prayer: Dear Lord, the scripture today reminds me that you are a God that keeps your word and can be trusted. As David conquered this corrupt city, you promised David an enduring dynasty that was ultimately fulfilled in Christ, the Son of David. Jerusalem’s place in history points forward to the reign of Christ and the promised New Jerusalem. What a glorious future! In the Name of Jesus I pray.
Studies in
1 Corinthians
A Brief Study in the New Testament
book of 1 Corinthians
Introduction of Series
by David G. Rose
The book of 1 Corinthians was written by the Apostle Paul in AD 55/56. Blessed with the wisdom and revelation of God, Paul addressed Divine solutions to the various problems the Church at Corinth was experiencing.
Corinth was an ancient city in Greece and was tremendously prosperous. Much like cities of the world today, the moral corruption permeated every level of society. “To live as at Corinth” was a proverb often quoted in that day which meant to engage in a reckless and immoral lifestyle. A “Corinthian woman” usually referred to prostitutes.
In this decadent city, Paul was permitted by the Lord to establish the Corinthian church during his second missionary journey, which took place around AD 50-52. During approximately 18 months in Corinth, Paul preached and taught while working and living with fellow tentmakers Aquila and Priscilla.
When considering the book of 1 Corinthians, most people think of the love chapter in 1 Corinthians 13. But there are other subjects that may startle you. Some of the topics that Paul addresses include: sexual immorality, church infighting, management of church worship services, what women should wear to church, can Christians eat meat that has been offered to idols, and the future resurrection of the dead.
Professor and theologian Gordon. D. Fee described the book of 1 Corinthians as a “vital pastoral text where the Apostle Paul brilliantly forces a deeply divided community to view every mundane and messy social problem through the lens of the Gospel.”

All-day Praise!
Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep
for words.

A Large Place
by Rev. Douglas Raymond Rose
THOUGHT FOR TODAY: Psalms 18:19—He delivered me into a large place
Anxious times.
I happened to be between jobs, busy sending out resumes. Where would I wind up? Small town?—large city?
While on my knees in prayer, I felt directed to Psalms’ 18:19—It said “expect a large place.” All at once I checked my resume places—New York, L.A., Dallas?
After prayer I ran my Bible concordance for “Large” scriptures. Psalms 31:8 said “large room”. Psalm 71 described the “largeness of God toward his children. It further explained it to be a metaphor for divine favor and promise.
My large place seemed to be growing bigger by the minute.
When all was said and done I realized my ‘Large Place” was actually Father God and His great kingdom. What a revelation. Since then I’ve never worried about where I worked, but only that I was in Our Father’s Will. My poem:
He brought me to a Large Place
Into the spaciousness of His love;
is my divine Large Place
Blessed with peace from above.
PRAYER: Thanks Lord for my ‘Large Place” in you. Amen.

1. Admit that you have sinned against God- Romans 3:23
2. Understand that Jesus died for your sins and offers cleansing and salvation - Romans 5:8
3. Remember that if you continue to ignore the call of Christ, you will spend eternity separated from God - Romans 6:23
4. Place your faith in Christ. He will save you and provide a life of blessing - Romans 8:1
5. Confess your sins to Christ and repent for your works against God - Romans 10:9-10
6. Invite Jesus to be the Lord and Master of your life - Romans 10:13
Pray this prayer: Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner and need your forgiveness. I believe that only you can forgive sins. I ask you to come into my heart, forgive my sins, and be the ruler of my life. Thank you for saving me from my sins. Thank you for the love that you show me everyday. I now know that eternal life is a gift given from you. I pray and ask that you be the Lord of my life, lead me, guide me and
direct my path that I may walk each and every day with you. In the wonderful name of Jesus I pray. Amen.
