Faith No More! By Bob Chochola Thursday, June 4, 2009 Issue National Examiner
Without Faith, There is No “Hope” - For with “Hope” Alone Therein Lies Doubt.
“This is one of the most beautiful types of spiritual failures that is known. So many have mistaken Hope for Faith. They had a confused idea that if they hoped strong enough they could bring the desired thing to them. They didn’t know that Hope was future.” E. W. Kenyon
"You can enter God's Kingdom only through the narrow gate. The highway to hell is broad, and its gate is wide for the many who chose that way. But the gateway to life is very narrow and the road is difficult, and only a few ever find it." Matthew 7:13-14

They Might Be Angels By Bob Chochola Thursday, June 4, 2009 Issue National Examiner Thursday, April 16, 2009 Issue These Days (Daily Devotions for Living by Faith)
When will Jesus find you?
Too often even good stewards of our Lord Jesus Christ have their relationship with Him backwards, believing it is they that took the first step to seek God’s love and mercy. This kind of horse and buggy thought is understandable when you consider how many Christian people subscribe to the notion, as a popular bumper sticker slogan states - “I found Jesus” - and never consider that maybe the exact opposite is true. Maybe it is God that finds us?

God Is Not Dead!

The message of the cross is foolish to those who are headed for destruction! But we who are being saved know it is the very power of God. As the Scriptures say, "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise and discard the intelligence of the intelligent." ...God has made the wisdom of the world look foolish... This foolish plan of God is wiser than the wisest of human plans, and God's weakness is stronger than the greatest human strength. 1 Corinthians 1:18-25

Come to me and listen, all you who fear God, and I will tell you what He did for me. For I cried out to Him for help, praising Him as I spoke.
If I had not confessed the sin in my heart, the Lord would not have listened. But God did listen!
He paid attention to my prayer. Praise God, who did not ignore my prayer or withdraw His unfailing love from me. Psalm 66:16-20

He came into the very world He created, but the world didn't recognize Him. He came to His own people, and even they rejected Him. But to all who believed Him and accepted Him, He gave the right to become children of God. They are reborn - not with a physical birth resulting from human passion or plan, but a birth that comes from God.
So the Word became human and made His home among us. John 1:10-14

The Whole World (in His Hands) By Bob Chochola Friday, June 12, 2009 Issue National Examiner
What’s it like to see God in all His glory right here and now; to hear Him speak in a voice as clear as a lion’s roar; to watch Him weave miracles as if He were standing right before our eyes; to feel His comfort in the wasteland of our deepest despair? It is possible, necessary even – in this life – to experience God and more importantly, for God to experience us. It’s possible, but not easy. We must meet Him half way. And in a world full of distractions and detractions the gap is wide – the allure of the alternatives magnetic.

Simplicity
But people who long to be rich fall into temptation and are trapped by many foolish and harmful desires that plunge them into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. And some people, craving money, have wandered from the true faith and pierced themselves with many sorrows. 1 Timothy 6:9-10

The FISH is a symbol used by followers of Christ since the early days of the church, a time when expressing belief in Jesus was punishable by death.
