Living in the Present – Michael Edwards

While we do at times experience fear and worry in the present, they are almost always associated with the past or future. It is good to remember that we are most likely not living in the present moment when we find ourselves caught up in fear and worry.

"Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble." Matt 6:34 ES

Present things that create legitimate fear and worry can be dealt with tangibly. If you think about it, I bet you have done pretty well in the past when things have gone wrong. Maybe you have not reacted perfectly, but God has always been there to help you dive in and deal with the situation, always getting you to the other side.

On the other hand, there is usually nothing practical we can do to solve an issue that is in the past, or may come in the future. The problem is when we embrace the enemy's chant of what if. These thoughts about the past and the future, distract our minds and make us miss the present. Translated, the NT Greek word for worry and anxious in today's verses, literally means to be divided or distracted. Satan’s goal is to divide and conquer our minds with tormenting thoughts of past or future things that have no solution in the present. These thoughts create fear, anxiety, stress, illness, addiction and more. The enemy focuses on past or future events where God's power and peace are not present to help us.

We know from God's word and experience; God does not speculate on what if. His peace and power never leave or forsake the present moment where they are always ready for our actual times of need. God's solution is simple and practical. "Stop worrying and doubting My promises and the great love I have for you. When real trouble comes, I'll never leave or forsake you."

Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? Matt 6:34 BSB

Perfect to equip the believer for defending their faith. Ideal to send to a skeptical friend or family member. 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 campus and online in several languages. Hundreds of reviews online. 

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. 

"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
