CHECK OUT THESE VERSES FROM GOD'S WORD, THE BIBLE:


"My God will meet all your needs according to His glorious riches in Christ Jesus." - Philippians 4:19. These words were sent to the Christian church meeting in Philippi. They apply to the church today. Are you one of Christ's people? Has He added you to His church? Acts 2:47b says, "… And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved." Then you won't have to depend on an undepen- dable stock market for your daily needs.

"Being confident of this, that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus." - Philippians 1:6. Has Jesus Christ begun a good work in you? Ephesians 2:8-10 say, "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-- and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God-- not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." If you have been saved by God's grace, you can have the confidence that He will not desert you, but continue working in you until He takes you home to heaven.

"Do not fret because of evil men or be envious of those who do wrong; for like grass they will soon wither, like green plants they will soon die away. Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart." - Psalm 37:1,3 God has promised that evil men will die away. Do you trust Him enough to believe that promise? Look at these verses also in Psalm 37: 7-16,35-40. God has pronounced judgment on the Saddam Husseins of the world.

"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid." - John 14:27 The peace that Jesus gives does not depend on world conditions or personal situations, but on His presence and power with you Do you have His peace? Then you will never have to worry.

. GIVE CHRIST [THE PRINCE OF PEACE] A CHANCE!
