THERE IS NO DOUBT ABOUT GOD






















THERE IS NO DOUBT ABOUT GOD


Despite the fact that some
Two thousand years ago=all HOPE
Had seemed LOST


There is NO DOUBT about God=
About Jesus=they are=he is
A SURE THING


“If then=we have DIED with Christ=
We BELIEVE that we


Shall also LIVE with him” Romans 6:8


UNLESS you were baptized
As an ADULT=I am
Pretty sure that you do NOT
Remember your BAPTISM


I wonder even IF you have
Any PHOTOGRAPHS=I don't think
That I have any


But I was BAPTIZED on
My parents' FIRST wedding anniversary=roughly
Three weeks after I was born=
February 6th, 1955


EVERY GOOD FRIDAY since then
I have died and ROSE
With Christ=mostly in Pittsburgh, Pa.=
But for the last sixteen years
In Miami, Florida


And for all of my ETERNITY=
Because of my baptism=I
Will RISE again and I
Will LIVE FOREVER in CHRIST


I=WE=because of our BAPTISM
Will NOT be defeated=
There is NO DOUBT ABOUT GOD


“Immediately=Jesus reached out
His hand and CAUGHT him=


'You of little faith,' he said
WHY did you doubt?'” Matthew 14:31


“'Peace be with you!'=then he
Said to Thomas=
'PUT your finger here=see
My hands=
REACH OUT your hand
And put it


Into my side
STOP DOUBTING and believe'


“Thomas said to him=
'MY Lord and MY GOD'” John 20:26-28


There is NEVER any doubt
About God


We die when we LIVE
Out of pride and selfishness
LIKE so many of us do


But God is always
FAITHFUL to us=
Our JOURNEY beginning at Baptism
Leads to the PROMISED LAND
Of God


There is NO DOUBT ABOUT GOD


When we travel with Jesus
We see the LIGHT=
Shining through the darkness=
And we EMERGE in victory


We LIVE in the light
Of Jesus=for all of ETERNITY


“Many Lord are asking=
'WHO will bring
Us prosperity?'


Let the LIGHT of
Your face=SHINE on us” Psalm 4:6


“But you
Are a CHOSEN PEOPLE
A royal priesthood
A holy nation


GOD'S SPECIAL POSSESSION
That you may DECLARE
The praises of him
Who called you


Out of darkness
INTO his wonderful LIGHT” 1 Peter 2:9


We are a LIGHT that
CONQUERS DARKNESS=
ETERNAL life
Breaks THROUGH to us


Yes I REMEMBER=there
Is NO DOUBT about God
For ALL of ETERNITY


In Jesus' name
