Happiness Is

Ray Evans • April 30, 2020
Perhaps you heard about the kitten who spent all his time chasing his tail.  When asked why he was chasing his tail, he said he was told happiness was in his tail.  The wise old Tom cat told him happiness was indeed in his tail, but if he would stop chasing it, it would follow him wherever he went.  That's wisdom.

What is wisdom? 

Wisdom comes from knowledge; knowledge comes from experience; which is why it's said that "Experience is the best teacher."  I would agree, but it doesn't have to be your experience.  If you will listen to wisdom (the experience of others) you won't have to get burned to find out the stove is hot.

Like most people, I used to think happiness was a big house, fancy car and a healthy bank account...until I heard someone say "they'd never seen a u-haul following a hearse" 

I had all those things...and that's all they are, things.  Here today, gone tomorrow.

Now, I have less, but I really have more. 

I put it all in a book titled, "12 Keys To A Happy, Healthy, Wealthy Life."  It's available on Amazon.

Sorry for the shameless plug, but so many people choose to live miserable lives.  Yes, I said "Choose."

God gave you an option, life and blessing or death and cursing.  He hopes you choose life, but you have the freewill to ignore God and live your life any way you want...just be aware, there are consequences to living a sinful life.

When Solomon said, "Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom; and with all thy getting, get understanding,"  (Proverbs 4:7) he was referring to understanding as defined in Proverbs 9:10 as "the knowledge of the holy." 

Why?

God is Spirit and the things of God are Spiritually discerned.  It's why Jesus said, "Ye must be born again." 

Without the Holy Spirit, you won't understand the things of God.  You cannot see or enter the kingdom, nor will you have the "knowledge of the holy."

You see, until you're born again, until you know, without a doubt, God is real...nothing else matters.

There's A New World Coming

Believing in the "Rapture" relieves you of the responsibility to do anything except believe in Jesus...who will magically whisk you away to heaven. It's a lie, designed to keep you from preparing or being prepared for what's coming.

Be Careful Whom You Choose To Follow

A lot of well-known and well-respected preachers talk about how long they have been preaching, as if the longer one preaches the more qualified one is to preach.

A Part or Apart?

By Ray Evans • May 7, 2020
This may seem a strange question, but it never ceases to amaze me how few people allow God to play an active role in their daily lives. Why anyone would not want the creator of the universe to help them every second, every minute and every hour of every day, is simply beyond me.
Psalms 15:1 Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill?

The $64,000 Question

By Ray Evans • May 6, 2020
The question in Psalms 15, "Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle?" probably has as many answers as there are preachers, but they all stem from a common belief: "Everyone who believes in Jesus goes to heaven." Sounds great, but is it true?
