Inspiration Thursday

Spring is finally here and everything is beginning to turn green. While the colors of Autumn are beautiful, most people look forward to Spring. It signals a new beginning. This waterfall is part of a spillway for a small, private lake. In the winter, when there is little rain, it slows to a trickle. But when the Spring rains come, it bursts to life and it seems that the surrounding woods follow its lead and become the most vibrant green of the entire year. It seems to be a reminder that water is the source of life. No plant or animal can survive without it.
Christ is described as the "Living Water" and no one can experience eternal life without Him. Some people never bother to look for meaning in their life while others spend their entire existence looking for their purpose in this world. They thirst for the satisfaction that comes with knowing that they are here for a purpose, what the purpose is and the source of happiness. They may try several different professions or live in multiple locations around the globe. Some will even forsake everything and go on a quest for the meaning of life. As long as they look for fulfillment in the things of this world, they will always be disappointed and thirsty. Christ Himself said, "Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again, but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life." (John 4:13-14) The search for personal peace and satisfaction ends at the well of living water that is Jesus Christ. Have a blessed day.

Inspiration Thursday

This week needs very little help to inspire us to greater things.  This is Passover week.  This coming Sunday is Easter Sunday (some prefer Resurrection Sunday).  It is a day that Christians celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus Christ.  Still, we live in a world in which many either don't believe in the deity of Christ or they don't know for sure who Christ was or what was His purpose in coming to this world.  Time and space don't really permit me to answer those two questions completely.  The Bible says it best when it says, "Christ did not come into the world to condemn the world, but that the world, through Him might be saved." (John 3:17)  We live in a lost world, condemned by our sin to spend an eternity separated from God.  The only way to avoid that situation is to acknowledge our sin, believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, repent of our sinful life ask Christ to forgive us and save us from our condemnation.   Anyone willing to do this will be saved.  Christ has promised that all who call on His name will be saved.  So if anyone asks me who's my King.  I just tell them...

Christ was crucified on Friday. Those who opposed Him and His ministry thought that they had put this preacher in His place, in a borrowed tomb, but they were wrong. It was Friday, but Sunday's coming...

Jesus Saves!


Worship the Savior at the Church of your choice this Sunday. He died for you.

Jesus Saves!!!

Easter Sunday has taken on a special significance around the Driller home. It has always been a special day for Christians. Easter is the celebration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. My previous post gives a brief outline of the plan of salvation. For the Christian, salvation and eternal life can only come from one source, Jesus Christ. Christ said, "I am the way, the truth and the life, and no one comes to the Father except through me." He further reminded us that, "God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." The apostle Paul tells us that, "
"...if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved." Romans 10:9-10. As a nine year old boy, I was saved on Good Friday and baptized on Easter Sunday morning. Last year, our daughter came to the realization that she was not saved. She invited Christ into her heart on Easter Sunday 2010. Today, Easter Sunday 2011, the eleven year old middle grand daughter accepted Christ as her Savior. It was a glorious day!
