The Epistle of Paul, the Apostle, to the Romans

Paul clearly sets forth the foundations of Christian faith.  All people are sinful; Christ died to forgive sin; we are made right with God through faith; this begins a new life with a new relationship with God.  Like a sports team that constantly reviews the basics, we will be greatly helped in our faith by keeping close to these foundations.  If we study Romans carefully, we will never be at a loss to know what we believe.

Paul gives clear, practical guidelines for the believers in Rome.  The Christian life is not abstract theology unconnected with life, but it has practical implications that will affect how we choose to behave each day.  It is not enough merely to know the gospel; we must let it transform our lives and let God impact every aspect of our lives.

The Acts of the Apostles

After the resurrection of Jesus Christ, Peter preached boldly and performed many miracles. Peter's actions demonstrate vividly the source and effects of Christian power. Because of the Holy Spirit, God's people were empowered so they could accomplish their tasks. The Holy Spirit is still available to empower believers today. We should turn to the Holy Spirit to give us the strength, courage, and insight to accomplish our work for God.

Paul’s missionary adventures show us the progress of Christianity.  The gospel could not be confined to one corner of the world.  This was a faith that offered hope to all humanity.  We too should venture forth and share in this heroic task to witness for Christ in all the world.

Energy From the Sky

Free Power systems are devices and techniques that help you harness energy from the sky, or rather from free resources around you, so that you don’t have to pay monthly electricity bills anymore. The devices help you generate usable electricity for your household indefinitely.

There are several methods available to generate electricity from free energy sources. The most popular focuses on three areas that have been proven to be efficient, reliable, and cost effective. Believe it or not, you can use the TV and Radio signals around you to generate electricity. These signals are primarily intended to carry information, but they possess electromagnetic energy that could be converted to electrical energy. Usable current electricity can be generated from static electricity. Radiant energy is always present in the atmosphere, day and night, in the form of solar radiation and cosmic rays. Tesla’s Secret Device provides you appliances that help you harness these free sources of energy to generate electricity for your home.
However, you must keep in mind the dangerous nature of electricity. If not handled properly, electric devices and conductors can be fatal. It is recommended to follow the instructions precisely and with caution, or hire the services of a qualified professional in installing their devices. In fact, it would be better if you started installing small devices first to get the hang of it, before proceeding to a full scale installation to generate electricity for your entire household.

Devices to Harness Free Energy, Even One Hundred Years Before!

The concept of free energy from resources, is hardly a recent innovation or development. Believe it or not, a device to harness free energy was developed more than a century ago. The inventor was none other than Nicole Tesla, considered by many as the father of electricity. In 1899, at Shoreham, Long Island, Tesla constructed a huge magnifying transmitter, a device that could convert radiant energy always present in the atmosphere to electrical energy. However, his revolutionary invention did not receive the publicity it deserved, and remains in obscurity even today, because of several reasons.

For the funding of his huge project, Tesla needed the help of an investor, J. P. Morgan. Tesla tried to keep the entire implication of his device from his investor, but in the end was forced to reveal the full possibilities of the magnifying transmitter. Instead of being elated by this invention, the investor feared the huge downward impact it would have on electrical companies, and refused further funding of the project. He even went to the extent of lobbying other investors to prevent them lending money to Tesla.

The Gospel According to Saint John

John makes it clear that Jesus is not just a man; he is the eternal Son of God.  He is the light of the world because he offers this gift of eternal life to all mankind.  How blind and foolish to call Jesus nothing more than an unusually good man or moral teacher.  Yet we sometimes act as if this were true when we casually toss around his words and go about living our own way.  If Jesus is the eternal Son of God, we should pay attention to his divine identity and life-giving message.

Jesus meets with individuals, preaches to great crowds, trains his disciples, and debates with the religious leaders.  The message that he is the Son of God receives a mixed reaction.  Some worship him, some are puzzled, some shrink back, and some move to silence him.  We see the same varied reactions today.  Times have changed, but people’s hearts remain hard.  May we see ourselves in these encounters Jesus had with people, and may our response be to worship and follow him.

Jesus carefully instructed the disciples how to continue to believe even after his death, yet they could not take it in.  After he died and the first reports came back that Jesus was alive, the disciples could not believe it.  Thomas is especially remembered as one who refused to believe even when he heard the eyewitness accounts from other disciples.  May we not be like Thomas, demanding a physical face-to-face encounter, but may we accept the eyewitness testimony of the disciples that John has recorded in this Gospel.

The Gospel According to Saint Luke

From an infant who could do nothing on his own, Jesus grew to become completely able to fulfill his mission on earth.  He was fully human, developing in all ways like us.  Yet he remained fully God.  He took no shortcuts and was not isolated from the pressures and temptations of life.  There are no shortcuts for us either as we prepare for a life of service to God.

Jesus taught great crowds of people, especially through parables, which are stories with great truths.  But only those with ears to hear will understand.  We should pray that God’s Spirit would help us understand the implications of these truths for our lives so we can become more and more like Jesus.

The Savior of the world was arrested and executed.  But death could not destroy him, and Jesus came back to life and ascended to heaven.  In Luke’s careful, historical account, we received the facts about Jesus’ resurrection.  We must not only believe that these facts are true, but we must also trust Christ as our Savior.  It is shortsighted to neglect the facts, but how sad it is to accept the facts and neglect the forgiveness that Jesus offers to each of us.

The Gospel According to Saint Mark

Jesus did not arrive unannounced or unexpected.  The Old Testament prophets had clearly predicted the coming of a great One, sent by God himself, who would offer salvation and eternal peace to Israel and the entire world.  Then came John the Baptist, who announced that the long awaited Messiah had finally come and would soon be among the people.  In God’s work in the world today, Jesus does not come unannounced or unexpected.  Yet many still reject him.  We have the witness of the Bible, but some choose to ignore it, just as many ignored John the Baptist in his day.

Jesus had all power of almighty God – he raised the dead, gave sight to the blind, restored deformed bodies, and quieted stormy seas.  But with all this power, Jesus came to mankind as a servant.  We can use his life as a pattern for how to live today.  As Jesus served God and others so should we.

Jesus came as a servant, so many did not recognize or acknowledge him as the Messiah.  We, too, must be careful we don’t reject God or his will because he doesn’t quite fit our image of what God should be.

The Gospel According to Saint Matthew

The people of Israel were waiting for the Messiah, their king.  Matthew begins his book by showing how Jesus Christ was a descendant of David.  But Matthew goes on to show that God did not send Jesus to be an earthly king, but a heavenly king.  His kingdom would be much greater that David’s because it would never end.  Even at Jesus’ birth, many recognized him as a king.  Herod, the ruler, as well as Satan, was afraid of Jesus’ kingship and tried to stop him, but others worshipped him and brought royal gifts.  We must b willing to recognize Jesus for who he really is and worship him as king of our lives.

Jesus gave the Sermon on the Mount, directions for living in his kingdom.  He also told many parables about the difference between his kingdom and the kingdoms of the earth.  Forgiveness, peace, and putting others first are some of the characteristics that make one of the great in the future kingdom of God.  And to be great in God’s kingdom, we must live by God’s standards right now.  Jesus came to show us how to live as faithful subjects in his kingdom.

Jesus was formally presented to the nation of Israel, but rejected.  How strange for the king to be accused, arrested, and crucified.  But Jesus demonstrated his power even over death through his resurrection, and gained access for us into his kingdom.  With all this evidence that Jesus is God’s Son, we, too, should accept him as our Lord.
