May 9, 2019 • Jim Gallagher
Even in the Old Testament there were little miracles that provided God’s people proof that He cared and felt they mattered to Him. In times of danger fear is reasonable, but Faith is more reasonable. With faith, Direction beats “Directions”. Always remember that YOU are the answer. The solution to the world’s problems is in a relationship with Christ Jesus! SUPPORTING VERSES: John 2:11, Luke 12:6-7, 1 Peter 1:18-19, Matthew 5:13, 2 Thessalonians 2:6-7, Psalm 34:7

God wants you safe. He instructs us (Deuteronomy 22:8) to “build a parapet” or guardrail, to prevent us falling into sin. So, What’s it gonna take for you to do that? God wants YOU and yours. It’ll never be any easier than RIGHT NOW to be committed to serving God. While you’re at it, ask for a “double portion”! Act now with wisdom! (Ephesians 5:18-21)

Can you trust the Bible to be true and accurate? How does it deal with the so-called contradictions (Exodus 20:8 vs Romans 14:5 or Matthew 27:5 vs Acts 1:18)? Is it accurate (Isaiah 48:4-5; Isaiah 44:24-27 and the prediction in verse 28). Ezra 26. SUPPORTING VERSES 2Samuel 8:1-2; 2Kings 3:4-5; 2Timothy3:16;
