Mad to Love: Free Book Giveaway →
corycopeland:
Two years ago, my book, “Love or Infatuation?” was published. It tells the story of my confusing infatuation for love and the results that branched from that mistake. For some reason, it’s still for sale on a few sites like Amazon and Barnes & Noble, but I’ve decided to give it away for free…
Does God exist? (you have to read this!)
A man went to a barbershop to have his hair cut and his beard trimmed. As the barber began to work, they began to have a good conversation. They talked about so many things and various subjects. They eventually touched on the subject of God.
Barber: I don't believe that God exists.
Customer: Why do you say that?
Barber: Well, you just have to go out in the street to realize that God doesn’t exist. Tell me, if God exists, would there be so many sick people? Would there be abandoned children? If God existed, there would be neither suffering nor pain. I can’t imagine a loving God who would allow all of these things.
-------
The customer thought for a moment, but didn’t respond because he didn’t want to start an argument. The barber finished his job and the customer left the shop. Just after he left the barbershop, he saw a man in the street with long, stringy, dirty hair and an untrimmed beard. The customer turned back and entered the barber shop again.
Customer: You know what? Barbers don't exist.
Barber: How can you say that? I am here. I am a barber, and I just worked on you!
Customer: No! Barbers don’t exist because if they did, there would be no people with dirty long hair and untrimmed beards, like that man outside.
Barber: Ah, but barbers DO exist! That’s what happens when people do not come to me.
Customer: Exactly! That’s the point! God, too, DOES exist! That’s what happens when people do not go to Him and don’t look to Him for help. That’s why there’s so much pain and suffering in the world.

Brothers will give their own brothers to be killed, and fathers will give their own children to be killed. Children will fight against their own parents and have them put to death. All the people will hate you because you follow me, but those people who keep their faith until the end will be saved.

God supplies my needs.
I have been college shopping; looking for schools that were nursing (for my parents) but had Christian values (for me).
My parents want me to go into nursing, rather than what I want to do which is ministry. I went on a tour to a college that focused on ONLY NURSING. It made me sad because I knew my parents would rather have me go to this college than the faith-based college I WANTED to go to....

If you don't love others, you don't love God.
1 John 4:20-21 20
Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen. And he has given us this command: Anyone who loves God must also love their brother and sister.
It’s sort of ironic how I hear from some people who claim to be Christians, tell me they HATE...

Proof of Jesus
I don’t know what type of proof you’re looking for in this ‘Jesus thing’.
Maybe you want to see some mathematics and scientific evidence rather than opening your eyes and look at the blessings and healings God has done in this lifetime of yours and others. But maybe miracles aren’t enough for you to believe. Maybe faith alone won’t convince you there’s a...
