The apostle Paul, by the power of the Holy Spirit, said:

"if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise,
think on these things"

Philippians 4:8

the subject for today is:

Optimism

Dear Friends,

Two people within the same congregation may tell about the same event, and leave very different impressions of what happened. One is a pessimist. One is an optimist. The one man paints a gloomy picture. The optimist paints a rosy picture.

This text that we have used, suggests that a Christian should be an optimist. We need to be careful that we do not carry our optimism too far, but we do need to be optimists.

If we obey the command given here, we shall be optimists. We must have faith that truth shall eventually triumph. Christ reigns until He has put all his enemies under his feet (1Cor.15:25).

If we are to succeed we must do as Paul did.

He forgot the things that were behind and he pressed forward to the things that are ahead. We press on to the mark of the high calling which is in Christ Jesus (Php.3:13,14). Let us be assured that He who rides the white horse is King of kings and Lord of lords (Rev.19:11-16).

I believe that He who is with us is greater than he who is against us !

Support our Internet Ministry!

Are you every day looking forward to receive "Daily Bread"?  Do you like to browse in the by now tens of thousands WebPages, or do you like the conversations in the forums? Than this is for you !

A big interactive site with over 10 domains, news systems, newsletters, forums, web- polls, etc. pity enough costs a lot of money.

The reason why we although we have to live on social welfare, still do this, is because we are sure that hundreds of people are blessed by what we are doing on the internet. It is not by accident that we had now already over half a million visitors on our sites.

To do this all we are completely depending on God’s grace, and because of your donations we can afford to continue. Therefore we also ask you to see if you could help us to keep this internet activity alive. Thanks in advance for your support!

Incase you like to support financially your donations can be sent to:
