With God everything is possible

Having a lot of experiences may not be a good thing for a individual. If he or she had many bad experiences, these will be limiting factor on the individual. Past failures tended to erode a person's confidence.
This need not be the case, if he changes his mindset. He should release himself from the bondage of past experiences. Be creactive even he is the first to do something new.
Be faithful in the small things, do not keen on doing big things only.
Use the omnipotent of God to replace the finite of men.
Give back the grace of God for the benefits of many others.

Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” Matthew 19:26
Reference: John 6: 5-14

General revelation Vs Special relevation

General Revelation is still going on. But special revelation had stopped.
The Works of the Holy Spirit:
1) Moved people to write the bible
2) Jesus Christ is conceived through Holy Spirit.
Bible gave promises, Jesus fulfilled the promises.
The works are now completed.
There is no more the need for special revelation.
Holy Spirit illuminates what had been written.

Apologetics is the discipline of defending a position (often religious) through the systematic use of reason.
Yet God revealed to us through Bible and Jesus Christ.

39 You diligently study the Scriptures because you think that by them you possess eternal life. These are the Scriptures that testify about me,
40 yet you refuse to come to me to have life.John5 NIV1984

How to make a decision

We can make a decision based on the following principles:
1) To Glorify God. To do anything for the sake of making money or profit only will bound to lead to failure.
2) To benefit others. There will be not much motivation if one is doing something for the sake of self only.
3) Don't try to please others. You will never actually please anybody by what you do.

The Sovereignty of God

Some people try to make use of religion for their own gain.
-They want salvation, not saver,
-Want grace, but don't want intervention,
-Want the Lord, but don't want to be lord over.
