Hello everybody! It has been a long time since I have talked with you and stuff. LOL! I have missed you dear members and want to say that I am back. You have no doubt heard of my Graphic Novel: The Overcomers. It ships out in September and was wonderfully designed by the one and only Christina Cheek of Silver Dagger Studios. God has really given her a remarkable talent and in my opinion, the best. Living Word Publications has graciously picked us up and is run by the man in the business, Pastor Martin Oakley. I thank God for their wonderful efforts and can be ordered at livingwordpublications.info.What I really want to talk about is our belief in the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Christians say that salvation depends on belief in Jesus. For example, Paul told the Philippian jailer, " 'Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved' " (Acts 16:31). I agree with Paul's statement, but I would also like to qualify it. Simply believing that Jesus was a good Man who lived on earth two thousand years ago isn't enough.Simply believing in the fact of His death on the cross isn't enough. Genuine Christian belief is a commitment to Jesus that makes a difference in one's outlook and in how one lives. It's the same with other Christian beliefs. I believe in the Ten Commandments, but do they make a difference in how I relate to God and others? I believe in the inspiration of the Bible, but do the Bible's teachings change the way I live?My answer is THEY SHOULD! So consider this, what does Jesus' resurrection mean to you? It better be everything because it means absolutely everything. God Bless.
Welcome back Howard! It's wonderful to hear you are doing well. I ordered a copy of the book you and Christina have made, and am looking forward very much to September to get it:) I hope we see you around here very often. This is a great inspirational piece you have written, it is so true. It is because He is risen that we have our hope:)
