God or Self: A Discussion with an Atheist

...He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. - Matthew 5:45

Yesterday, I got into a discussion turned argument with an atheist friend of mine. The point of our discussion or argument was why would believers always turn to God to help them for virtually everything most especially in the area of breaking bad habits.

It was a meaningful discussion albeit a few argument. There is this fact everyone got to know: You can live your life successfully without not calling on God to help you directly. As log as you follow His universal principles, you will soar. There are so many successful unbelievers out there , that doesn't in anyway means that's God doesn't exist. Jesus said God cause the rain to fall on both the good and the bad folks.

That said, believers depend on God because He knows it all, we could decide to go through it alone which is possible or we can decide to go through God's Divine Grace which is available to us. A believer believes in the higher power of God to help break sinful and bad habits. 

What difference does it makes?
What my atheist friend fail to realise is with God, you don't need to struggle to break bad habits, there is sufficient grace for every believers to depend upon.

Of course it will be stupid and foolish for a believer to do anything he /she likes simply because there is abundant grace.

While my atheist friend may depend on his own power or sicietific proven method to break bad habits (which is really possible and very okay), the best assistance a human can get is Divine Assistance from God.

Our argument obvious is the fact that he doesn't believe in soiritual matters like me. 

I'm proud to be able to count on the sufficient grace of God not because I want to be lazy but be aude I want to do more.

Top of the morning to you and do have a good day.

Made a Way: The Story Behind The Song

Made a way is a song written and sang by award winning artist Travis Greene in the year 2015. Many people knows the song but few actually know the story behind the song. The song was actually borne out of a personal testimony of Travis Greene. According to the artist, 'Made a Way' was written during an impossible situation. His pregnant wife’s water broke at 21 weeks, when pregnancy normally takes between 37-42 weeks. The doctors said the possibility of the baby’s survival is slim to none, and it was during this period when his wife was on bed rest for two months that he wrote the song. There was nothing else for them to hold on to but faith, and the good news is that as slim as the chance was, it didn’t break because faith held it together and today their baby boy is alive.  When Jesus was on His way to heal Jairus’s daughter and news came that things had gone from bad to worse, that the girl was dead. Jesus overheard and said, "Don't be upset. Just trust me...

If Men Were God

He sends  rain  on the just and on the unjust. - Matthew 5:44 It's raining as I type this post and I remember the words of Jesus in Matthew 5:45 where he talks about  God sending the rain on both the just and unjust. God won't because are a sinner or a bad personal withdraw the rain from Falling on your side. One special trait we are to emulate from God is that we should not discriminate. If men were God, the rain will be raining only on the good, the sun will be shinning only on the perfect. We humans readily discriminate, we isolate those we feel are not perfect or good. We see those who have sinned as been candidates of hell as if we haven't sinned before. One major problem of our society is discrimination. Even in church, we discriminate, we see that prostitute and we readily condemned her. We readily forget that as children of God, we don't just do good to good people, we are to do good to everybody. It doesn't matter how bad a person might be, you ...
