Know That You Believe Christ

And Thomas answered and said to Him, "My Lord and my God!"

- John 20:28, emphasis added

Thomas was not present on the first occasion when Jesus appeared to His disciples after His Resurrection. The others told him about it afterward, but he replied, "Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe it" (John 20:25 NIV).

Thomas is our pattern; he reflects…

I'm working on some new art projects, I'm slightly annoyed with the progress...aside from that, it is more that artwork has started to become part of it. I'm considering that maybe I should consider putting my artwork on here.

Know What Christ Did

That which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that you also may have fellowship with us; and truly our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ.

Trials and Temptations a Formula of Faith

James 1:1-12

1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, To the twelve tribes scattered among the nations: Greetings. 2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. 4 Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. 5 If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives…

If you think about it a little bit in the past, we will always remember everyone saying to cultivate our friends because they are what is most important. I thought about it when I was reflecting on my childhood friendships. Wondering why no one ever warned me that I was supposed to do everything possible to…

Okay, when people ask me a question regarding Japanese mythology, I can give several answers to the problem that I find. Why is it important for people to know it? Well....I suppose it is an interest part of my interest in anime or is it because I happen to enjoy the stories.

When I was in high school, I was watching Sailor Moon, again I was interested in the fact that it was about the fact the no hero is prefect. Hell, I see it now these days with Batman, he's not the prefect…

Defeating the Devil's Strategies

John 21:15-19

All of us make tracks through the valley of failure. Then the key question is, What we will do next? Sadly, many believers who stumble give up a vibrant kingdom-serving life for a defeated existence. But failure can also be a chance for a new beginning of living in Christ's strength.

In pride, Peter thought his faith was the strongest of all the disciples' and swore that even if the others left Jesus, he never would (Mark…

Okay, I'm a little pissed off at the moment, I have had it about up to here with this person on DA, personally, since i known him for awhile. The guy is a freaking jerk and if I ever see him again, there is a dozen things I would like to do...but I'm not doing it.
