| Whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life." Jesus in John 4,14 |
He Is Lord He is Lord, He is Lord. He has risen from the dead, and He is Lord. Every knee shall bow, every tongue confess, that Jesus Christ is Lord. |
Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they. Jesus in Matthew 6,26 |
"Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow has not yet come. We have only today. Let us begin." Mother Teresa |
BARNABAS ("Son of Consolation") Acts of the Apostles 4:36 We do not know much about him. He was born in Cypress. His name was Joseph. People called him Barnabas, meaning "Son of Consolation." He lived 2000 years ago. He was a Christian before the name "Christian" existed. He walked through towns and villages and encouraged people. He is encouraging you also, that you can encourage others... to go on also without success... to forgive others if they harmed you... The COURAGE to forgive is bigger than the courage of hatred: It is better to learn again and again to walk the right direction in life... every way to a new aim begins with the first step... I will try ... I have courage ... Tell it to yourself! -"I HAVE COURAGE"- TO BE A HUMAN BEING MEANS TO BE INVITED TO JOY |

| Father Engelmar has been called the “Angel of Dachau.” He was arrested by the Gestapo on 21 April 1941 and sent to the concentration camp of Dachau in the same year. In the autumn of 1944 he volunteered to help in the typhoid barrack. He had studied Russian whilst in Dachau in order to be able to help the prisoners from Eastern Europe. He died on 2nd March 1945. He was regarded as a holy man. In his desire to help the typhoid victims he contracted the disease himself. His beatification process was initiated on July 26. 1991, in Wuerzburg, Germany. And its second stage was officially opened at the Vatican in May 1999. |
The Bible is the Only Truth—Jesus the Only Savior.My name is Stephen Cobb—I was stationed in Wurzburg, Germany, Emery Kasern, 6th Bn, 52nd ADA and HHB 69th ADA Gp, 1970-'71.
In 1976 my wife left me after many years of drinking and drug abuse on my part (which had increased greatly in the Army stationed at Emery Kasern, that was a hellish place to be, and I was totally out of control by this time in 1976). I was not a Christian and hated anything to do with what I called religion (man's attempt to find God through his own self effort). Actually like many people I really needed a reason to live. I had often wondered what was my real purpose in life was — actually my life hadn't turned out as I had so carefully planned. I had the education, money, everything the world said I needed to be happy — but I certainly was NOT happy. I know this sounds like many peoples testimony, but that's really how it was with me as I now think back on my situation. My Army experience did not help me in anyway to find God, most of the so called "religious" people only thought they were Christians but their actions proved otherwise, these are the people I call the "very religious/unrepentant sinners" they give God an intellectual nod, but their hearts and wills are far far from Him. These types also think that the physical act of water baptism will justify them, but in reality this only produces a "wet-sinner". These religious hypocrites only further increased MY RELUCTANCE to find the truth, which is found only in a relationship with the Jesus of the Bible.I didn't start out to find "religion" but really started on a search to fine out the truth of life (if there was any). The BIG why to life, that is what I was searching for. I really wanted to kill myself, but wondered what would happen after that, if anything? I read many books on life after death. At that time there were many on the market to read. I begin to notice that all were quoting scripture from the Bible to prove their points. So I thought (now I know it was the Holy Sprite leading me) well I'll just get a Bible and start reading—bad idea—It made no sence to me at the time. I had seen a late night Merv Griffin talk show on TV, he had had a guest that talked about the end times, the Bible, and Bible prophesy, the man's name was Hal Linsey, and the book he had just written was named "The late Great Planet Earth". I was very interest and finally found a copy of the book and read it three times. God used that book to present to me the gospel as I had never heard it before. It made perfect sence why my life was a mess, who I was, and importantly where I would end up if I did not admit the fact that I was just a poor sinner all along and needed forgiveness through Christ.Jesus had live a life I couldn't have, what a great bit of good news, I could now have God's gift of eternal life FREE! I would give Jesus my sins in exchange for his righteousness. God had treated Jesus on the cross as if He was me, so God could treat me as if I had lived Jesues life. It was hard to believe...He had been there all along......it was so simple. Well I asked Jesus to forgive me that day and make me the person He wanted me to be that was around August of 1978 and the rest is history.My wife never returned after our divorce, but she has heard the gospel many times from me over the years. Even though a person is forgiven and is a child of God the consequences of our sins will live with us in this life. God has graciously retored the things that Satan had stolen from me because of bad life choices. I now know the truth which is in Christ and Him alone, I now have faith for a great future with Him in this life and eternal life to come. It's like the old saying that goes: "life on earth will be difficult but the retirement is out of this world". I attend a Christian and Missionary Alliance church in Ithaca, NY and have been remarried for 22 years to a great Christian lady have two girls which are grown and love the Lord too.I survived Emery Kasern and my tour of duty, and finally meet Jesus, you too can do the same... take care my friend...Jesus is not a church, or a religion, He's not headquartered in some big city, HE'S THE TRUTH—trust only in Him today, there might not be a tomorrow! Remember, those who plan for this life, and not for eternity, is wise for a moment, but a fool forever.Steve (Just another needy person, saved by God's Grace alone)
