“The ‘U’ in Success: Why God Is the True Source of Everything We Are”

-
Discover why true success begins and ends with God. Talent, skills, and achievements may fade, but God’s presence gives our lives eternal meaning, purpose, and hope.
Anything that we were, we are, or ever will be, is only because of the presence of God in our lives. That’s the bottom line. We often celebrate our achievements—our talents, education, skills, experiences, or even our access to cutting-edge technology. 

While these things are valuable, they are not the source of our true success. Without God, all of it amounts to nothing. Success can be fleeting—but God is eternal. 

Success Without God Is an Empty Crown 

 It’s easy to get caught up in chasing success. Yet, the reality is: success is here today and gone tomorrow. The position you hold, the recognition you receive, or the wealth you accumulate can vanish in a moment. But having God in our lives is eternal. It surpasses every earthly achievement. The success we think we enjoy is not by our own strength or brilliance—it is only because God has chosen to bless our lives. 

God Is the “U” in SUCCESS Here’s a powerful thought

we cannot even spell “SUCCESS” without God being the “U” in our lives. All of us are on different paths, yet each of these paths is designed, guided, and blessed by God. Every opportunity we receive, every door that opens, every skill we nurture—it’s all by His mercy and grace. 

 Life Without God Is Life Without Meaning 

 Imagine for a moment a life without God. It would be a journey marked by emptiness, despair, and confusion. Without Him, there is no lasting joy or peace. With Him, we have life—and life abundantly. Anything and everything we are today is only because of His unending love, mercy, and grace. 

A Final Thought 

 “What you are is God’s gift to you. What you become is your gift to God.” May we live each day mindful of the One who makes our lives meaningful—and may our achievements reflect our gratitude to Him.

Aspects of Information as Found in the Bible

by Dr. Werner Gitt on May 28, 2009 God is shown as the source or sender of biblical information. 14.1 God as Sender—Man as Recipient The five aspects of information—statistics, syntax, semantics, pragmatics, and apobetics—were discussed in chapter 4 , and it was stated that all five are indispensable for both the sender and the recipient. It is highly instructive to view the Bible in this way. Figure 27: God as sender; man as recipient. When God speaks in the Bible, He is the Sender of information. The message of the Bible, transmitted to us as recipients, can be analyzed according to the aspects of information, namely syntax, semantics, pragmatics, and apobetics. Only when we cover all the levels, will we achieve the purpose intended by God. Sender: In Figure 27, God is shown as the source or sender of biblical information. His Word is available to us today in completed ( Revelation 22: ) and written form (e.g., Exodus 17:14 ;...

Why Did Jesus Sacrifice Blood? was it Necessary?

-
  John 19:34-35a (Jer) One of the soldiers pierced his side with a lance; and immediately there came out blood and water. This is the evidence of one who saw it. Rev 5:9 (Jer) ... with your blood you bought men for God. How Much Are You Worth? Sandy Gregory's Car Parable: If I offer a car for sale, which I think is worth 7K, and offers are made ranging from 2K to 9K, how much is the car worth? The 7K that I think it's worth? The "low-ball" offer of 2K? No. The car is worth what the highest bidder is willing to pay in the open market. People are "traded" in a spiritual and eternal market. We are not worth what we happen to think, or any "low-ball" offer. We are worth what the highest bidder will pay. The highest bidder is God, and the price-tag is the Cross. God looked out across the eternal ages and said, "I'll take that one, even though the price is steep!" Our worth is established once and for ...

Did Adam Really Live 930 Years?

Genesis 5:5 says Adam lived for 930 years. Judging by today’s standards, this sounds impossible. Many contemporary readers of Genesis balk at such numbers and some end up rejecting the whole Bible. But a few researchers have found reasons to believe it. Plant geneticist Dr. John Sanford and his colleagues plotted the ages of the biblical patriarchs listed in Genesis. The result shows a systematic drop-off in lifespans after 950-year-old Noah, “in a way that could never happen by chance,” according to an online post showing their results. 1 The Genesis lifespans decline according to a well-defined decay curve that began immediately after the Flood. The researchers’ post points out how the biological decay curve found in these biblical texts matches biological decay curves known from the science of mutation accumulation. 1,2 As mutations add up after every generation, they constantly erode genetic information. Did early mutations damage gene...
