Westminster of the Week!

It's back folks!



IV. The authority of the Holy Scripture, for which it ought to be believed, and obeyed, depends not upon the testimony of any man, or Church; but wholly upon God (who is truth itself) the author thereof: and therefore it is to be received, because it is the Word of God.[9]

Why We Go Through What We Go Through

Are there ever situations where you just throw your head back and say 'Why does this stuff always happen to me?' We find Paul in this situation here in 2 Corinthians i.
Paul is writing to the church here at Corinth and he says in verse 8 that '[I] would not...have you ignorant of our trouble'. He goes on to talk about how he had despaired of life itself. What a situation to be in. But why would God put Paul through something like this? Lets take a look back. i.3. ...and the God of all comfort (4) Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we mat be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.
Paul here says that comforts those who are afflicted. Well we know that God is the one who sends the affliction. so what is the purpose? Well, when the Lord comforts us we are able to comfort others in that situation with the same comfort that God has given us.
With this God-given peace we are able to show forth God's comfort to the unbeliever, and broken hearted Christian.
So the next time you have a 'why me moment'. Say a quick prayer, and thank God for the peace that He will give you.

What Do I Really Have?

I was really thinking the other day, what do I really have in this life. I mean really think about it.
I have a car, no it can be taken away. I have money, it can be stolen. I have a girlfriend, this can be taken from you (pretty easy to lose :/). I have clothes, those can be stolen right off your back. I have stocks, can be lost...pets...a house...kids...what do you really have?!?!?
You will always have the Lord. No matter where you go. You will always have peace, in all situations. You will have a home in heaven, when you have no place to put your head on earth.
All you really poses on this earth can be stolen, broken, killed, or rotted with time. Those things you have eternal...those are yours, forever.
