"Life,Victory Certainty." by J Sidlow Baxter

As we journey through life we meet all sorts of obstacles along the way. Some people have an attitude of eat,drink and be merry for tomorrow we die. That could be labelled fatalism. Others explore different approaches. Many are the spiritual pathways people latch onto and others seek to find answers in the food they eat and/or extensive physical activity or slowing down and meditating. Being in the moment, mindfulness. Others claim to have a relationship with God. Many do this through Jesus Christ and have a time in their life where they say they have been "born again". That is a Biblical expression. I,like many others claim to be born again(that doesn't mean I am any better than anyone else) and I like many others soon discover that just because you have been "born again" it doesnt mean life is all plain sailing from there. There are many upsets alomg the journey. Relational, Physical, Spiritual. The euphoria of that first rush of the infilling of God's love can start to wain.Doubts creep in. We wonder about whether prayer really works. We Christians and others of all persuasions long for a happy fullfilled life, being able to cope with our circumstances, and, also have a sure knowledge of what happens when we die. J Sidlow Baxter was a wonderful teacher,preacher,theologian and author. He wrote some wonderful books and travelled the world extensively talking with and meeting with thousands of people. I have in my collection of tapes many of his addresses recorded here in Adelaide,South Australia and about 4 of his major books. He addresses the questions I have outlined above in this message called "Life,Victory ,Certainty." I have put a link here where you can listen to this oinline. This is not the version I have but fairly well identical. Will you take time to listen? http://turret2.discipleshiplibrary.com/1511A.mp3
