Joyful in God’s Presence – Cheryl Weber

Some of us have been taught that too much laughter is evidence of worldliness, for according to 1 Peter 4:7 KJV, we must be “sober-minded.” We may also see God as an angry judge ready to punish us, for the result of sin is destruction (Galatian 6:7-8).

God actually overflows with joy and would rather show mercy than judgment (James 2:13). Yes, the consequences of sin are death, BUT the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus (Romans 6:23) who for the joy set before him, despised the shame of the cross and died for us (Hebrews 12:2). We can now come to God as his beloved children (Luke 18:15-17) brought “with great joy into [the Father’s] glorious presence without a single fault” (Jude 1:24 NLT).

The Bible is full of references to joy. Joy is the second fruit of the Holy Spirit in Paul’s list in Galatians 5:22-23. Nehemiah 8:10 says that the joy of the Lord is our strength. Psalms 68:3-4 NLT says, “Let the godly rejoice. Let them be glad in God’s presence. Let them be filled with joy.” Psalm 16:8-9 tells us that joy gives rest to our physical bodies. Psalm 16:11 tells us that God will show us the path of life and then declares that in his presence is “fullness of joy” and at his right hand there are “pleasures forever.”

But how does this joy help us when we feel as if our world is shattering?

Our God is not shaken. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever and his kingdom will never end. The new life we received when we died to ourselves and turned to Christ will remain rock solid as well, ready for that day when Christ calls us home or he returns. If we keep our eyes on the Lord, trusting and praising him no matter our circumstances, we can find the strength to endure.

Lord, I thank you that we can rejoice in your unfailing presence and that as we worship and focus on you, we will find strength. Amen

Great for teens and young adults who have never reviewed the objective evidence for God's existence and identity. God has used Gravity to help lead many to Christ, even atheists. It is being used in over 1,300 prisons, numerous college campuses and online in several languages. Hundreds of reviews online. 

"After reading your book, and being that I’m a cop, the evidence was compelling so the choice became easy. Thank you for being a big part of saving my life and seeing the truth about Jesus. My life has drastically changed for the better!!! I’ve handed out many of your books already, and can hardly wait to give more away! Thank you. And God bless!"

"For anyone on the fence, backsliding, or doubtful this book clarifies misunderstandings, perceived contradictions, and outright lies. I was led to read this book at a time when I thought I was over Jesus, but truth defeat lies every time and never forsakes the believer.”

"If false, Christianity is an irrelevant hoax. If true, Christianity is the most important fact for every human being. This little book concisely shows you why Christianity is true and what that means for you. No fluff, just the facts!" Dr. Frank Turek author/co-author of I Don’t Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist

Maybe you know someone in prison or just a lost soul that you love who needs to trust in Jesus as their Lord and Savior or needs to have their faith encouraged? You can ship single paperback copies directly from Amazon for $3.66 each to an inmate or anyone. For inmates, you just need their facility name, address, inmates name and id number. Most prisons and jails will accept packages directly from places like Amazon. If you are a member of Amazon prime it would ship for free. Just add the person's shipping address when you check out and it goes directly to them. If you try to send it from a personal address, it will be rejected. GO HERE to order your copy of Gravity to be sent to your lost friend or family member who is (incarcerated or not) and needs Jesus. Offer them the gift of eternal life in Christ for $3.66. What a great investment.

"Michael, I have ordered books a couple times now and have had nothing but good responses from the inmates that read it. I had one approach me with tears in his eyes thanking me for giving him a book that answered questions he has always wondered about regarding the Bible. I had another one ask me for another copy so he could mail it to his family to read. Another one told me that everyone in his pod was passing it around reading it, the cover made people ask what he was reading. He then asked if I could get more. I would like twenty more books please. It's nice to be able to give a concise apologetic at an affordable price." Gordon, a prison guard who has ordered books."

An in-depth study of the factual evidence leads a person to realize how little faith they need to believe, while it gives them great faith at the same time.
