Search the Bible at BibleGateway. I decided to become an astrophysicist at the age of eight. I read all the physics and astronomy books in the children’s section of my library. My family supported my voracious appetite for knowledge. My teachers assigned me lots of extra-curricular projects in the social sciences, which eventually sparked my spiritual quest. In my last year of high school, I studied the Thirty Years’ War for one extra project. I wondered why the Catholics and Protestants shed so much blood over trivial doctrine. I posed tough questions to my teacher, who sent me off to the library to read books on comparative religions. Read More... The Goal Of My Life. It was a real struggle for me to become a Christian for a number of reasons. I had always prided myself in being a self-made man. I was used to being in control of my life. I was also afraid of what my friends would think. I looked at Christianity’s ‘dos’ and ‘don’ts’ and thought that it was so narrow. Read More... Tunnel Vision. In 1971, the troubles in Northern Ireland were increasingly becoming a danger to me and to my six children. We listened to horror stories of suffering every day on the radio. Our personal horror story came the night I was attacked by two gunmen. One beat me while asking me questions about someone’s whereabouts.

For many years I have heard choirs, preachers, praise teams, even myself preach about, talk about, sing about there's nothing to hard for our God and you know that statement is very scriptural. The bible says seek first the kingdom of God (Matthew 6:33) but what is the kingdom of God? For the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.(Romans 14:17) Jesus said in the Lord's prayer, For thine is the kindgom (Matthew 6:13). Our walk with God begins when we enter the kingdom of God, we do this, spiritually speaking, through a new birth experience. What an honor to discover the joy of being in God's presence and knowing He's your Lord. Think on this, there cannot be a kingdom without a king. Our king is Jesus Christ. He is King of all kings and Lord of all lords. In the bible book of Revelation it is written that He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS. (Revelation 19:16) Everybody, no exceptions, will bow before Him, Kings, statesman, servants, etc. We all know we're in an election year, but our Lord is not running for anything or from anything, praise God. "Everything is under control, let's not forget this". He is God and He is not moved by promises from politicians or anyone else. It is His desire that we experience His glory, His power, His love and the purpose and plan He has for our lives, He is King. Together Through Christ, Pastor Durden |
