Iron Mike Tyson was the youngest boxer to win WBC, WBA,IBF World Heavyweight titles and hold these rankings simultaneously! He was born in Brooklyn New York in 1966. He fought 58 fights in his career winning 50 of those contests! 44 of those 50 wins were by knock out (KO). He is ranked No. 16 by Ring Magazine List of one hundred greatest punchers of all time! Mike also had a troubled life with prison time for rape and bit off part of an opponents ear during a fight! He was interviewed a few years ago and asked what was the key to your victories in the ring? Was it your months and years of preparation by punishing your body into shape? Was it discipline of spending hours in the gym everyday? He replied that the real key was when I stepped into the ring I had to be better than who I was! What was Mike Saying? Yes, adversity is the key to becoming better than who you are! The Bible says that Jesus learned obedience through the things that He suffered? How can God learn anything? It is so funny when I see immigrant families come here to American and get good jobs and then buy their kids everything they want and even borrow money to spoil their children and for what? To keep them from the very thing that will develop their character which is adversity! As we approach Palm Sunday, Good Friday and then Easter let us be reminded that suffering is never wasted if we commit it to God and His Christ! Thankyou. James Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com

It is Finished!
Man’s work is never done! There is always one more dinner to make, one more bed to make, one more doctor’s visit, one more car to fix, one more class to attend, one more child to raise, one more house to build and then repair, one more hospital stay, one more vote to cast, one more day behind bars, one more probation, one more drug high, one more bill, one more day of unemployment, one more shot to be fired, ect. God’s work has been completed never to be done again! One time, that’s all! Christ on a Cross to give death a Victory! One day soon all our work here on earth will be completed! God has given us work to bring out our giftings He has placed in us! Christ’s work is Eternal and will last forever! The redemption of our soul’s is eternal! The question today is are you going to trust in your own work or on Christ’s work? My work and your work is temporary. His work is permanent! His work is lasting! After I am gone someone else will have to carry on my work! Someone else will have to fix the car, take out the trash, ect. But those who follow after me will have the same opportunity to make a decision for Christ as I have made and Trust His Work! Love demands a choice! You have made a choice about Christ! What is your choice? Either for Him or against Him? Christ chose the Cross for you! A work that will last forever! Christ’s completed work has brought fulfillment and meaning to my life!We cannot be dependent on our own works but on His work. When you leave this world someone else will have to continue your work! His work continues on in me forever! Happy Easter! Please read Book of John Chapter 17, Verse 4. James Sasse GodWhoisGod.com
Easter Story
A very rich man was a member of a church in his community. The Pastor and Chief Deacon spent alot of time with this rich man and asked for donations all the time. Rich man understood those who have more much more is required! Rich man gets sick goes to hospital and is near death! Pastor and chief deacon go to his bed side to pray. Rich man comes out of his comma and sees pastor on right side of bed and deacon on left side of bed. Rich man says I am just like Jesus crucified between two thieves!
Pastor Terry Jones
Was Pastor Terry Jones right? He was right about Islam! His expression about it was wrong! His actions exposed Islam for what it is! The news media asked Pastor Jones, “What would Jesus do?” The more important question should have been, “What did Jesus do?” Jesus was not a whimp! He called evil evil and good good. Today the world we live in calls evil good and good evil! When Jesus called the wicked religious leaders of his day a generation of vipers they nailed Him to a Cross! I am not Jesus and neither is Pastor Jones! Jesus loved his enemies by going to a Cross for their wickedness! Jesus went to that Cross for me, you, Pastor Jones, all Muslims and all enemies of the Cross which includes all people ever born or will ever be born on planet earth! I am not offering you a Christian but Jesus Christ the only begotten Son of God who shed His precious Blood on a Cross 2000 years ago for your Sin and my Sin! Thankyou. James Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
