When I was in the 7th grade we moved from a farm in Nebraska to Loveland Colorado back in 1962. The move was difficult for me and my little brother Tommy because we had to leave our friends and grandparents in Nebraska and make new friends! It was difficult because the children in Loveland had already established their friends and we were treated like outsiders! With our parents we attended a Methodist Church in Loveland. We had a youth Sunday School teacher by the name of Paul. He also led the MYF (Youth Methodist Fellowship) on Wednesday nights! We knew Paul was really a guy who cared for us! He taught us out of the Bible and gave us wise council when we needed it! This all took place about 58 years ago! So the Lord put on my heart to try to contact Paul in Loveland! I did not know if he were still living? I searched the white pages and information and got a phone number! I did not even know if it were the same Paul? It was Paul! He is now 95 years old! So guess what Paul is still doing! He is still teaching Sunday School! Paul has never lost his purpose! He remembered me! Jesus will never forget you! In fact if you are saved your name is written down in the Lamb’s Book of Life! Paul’s life is all about Jesus and I was a beneficiary of that! If you make life all about yourself you will die alone! When you live for Christ you live for others! Make your Facebook account not about you but about Jesus! Get your name in the Eternal Book! Only if you are faithful to God can you be faithful to others! Do this in remembrance of me! That is what Jesus instructed us to do at Communion! We never remember him unless we do what he did for us unto others! Jesus was faithful to you and me even to death on a Cross! Live your life faithful to him while on earth and he will be faithful to you even after your death! Be born again! Dead to self and alive to Christ! I am a beneficiary to what Paul did for Christ as a faithful teacher in the Body of Christ! I also want to be a beneficiary to others as I serve Christ! But we have to die to self our biggest enemy of the Faith! James and Hamsa Sasse, GodWhoisGod.com

Time Shall Be No More! Psalm 90:1
Lord God, thou has been our dwelling place in all generations. Comment: Moses wrote this Psalm and is the oldest Psalm in our Bible! What was Moses saying? Generations represent the revolution of time! Time reveals everything! It includes the revelation of God to men! It also reveals the character of man and the character of God! Time is linear and measurable! Time is the result of creation! Time does not measure creation it is creation! Time is your best friend or worst enemy depending on what you do with it! It allows you to find the living God or allows you to reject the living God! Time proves God’s faithfulness and man’s folly! Time is the opportunity presented to you for redemption! Time marches on as generations come and go! Every generation has to make a choice about God! Reverence him or reject him! After time passes for us the opportunity for accepting redemption passes! Then our choices are locked in forever! God wants to forgive you of your wrong choices but that requires repentance on your part! Humility rather than pride! Time opens the door and closes the door! Time presented the incarnation of God into flesh through his Son Jesus Christ into the earth! Time allowed his crucifixion on the Cross for our sin! Time will present his second coming into the earth! Time will reveal you redemption or judgment! Time is the best friend of the believer and the worst enemy of the unrepentant! Time allows us to receive God’s love and demonstrate God’s love to others! Water saved Noah and his family but destroyed the rest of the world! If you choose God the elements of the earth created by God will save you! If you reject the Savior the elements will destroy you! Which side of history will you choose? Your way or his way? Life or death? Sin or redemption? Living in Hell is not an option worth considering! Time shall be no more is declared in Revelation 10:6! This is the echo of Moses in Psalm 90! When judgment comes to you your only escape is if you allowed Christ to take your judgment upon himself! Have you done this? James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
Judgment Seat of Christ! Isaiah 16:5
700 B.C. Hebrew Translation: “And with mercy with forgiveness of sins shall the Royal Throne be established with faithfulness and stability: and he shall sit upon it in truth, firm and faithful in the Tabernacle of David the dwelling place of his family, judging by punishing the wicked and legitimizing the righteous, and seeking judgment by rendering a judicial verdict and hastening righteousness by doing the right thing morally and legally.”
Hebrew? Genesis 14:13
Abram was first called a Hebrew in this passage. The name Hebrew means to cross over or pass over. We as Christian’s are immigrants because we belong to another world! The Jews crossed over into the Promised land! Our citizenship is in Heaven as we pass through this world! Heaven is our home as Jesus has promised to prepare a place for us. Do you live as though you are a stranger in a foreign land? Politics and world troubles do not bother me too much for they are side shows as I focus on my real home with my King that awaits there! In the meantime Jesus has promised us the Holy Spirit! Our purpose here is to point people to another world who has a King and a Kingdom waiting for them! We want them to cross over from death unto life as we have! The Cross has given us a Passover from sin to righteousness. There are two ways of living this life with two very different outcomes! One way is through the Cross with redemption working in every area of our life! The other way is to reject the Cross and suffer separation from God! Moses crossed over the Red Sea and Joshua crossed over the Jordan River! Today Israel stands as a nation a testimony to God’s faithfulness! Do you need to cross over in your life from drugs, addictions, fear and hopelessness? Then go to the Cross! Christ will take your burdens off you and He will carry them for you! What are you waiting for? In Christ’s Love. James and Hamsa Sasse GodWhoisGod.com
Ray Lewis and the Baltimore Ravens!
Ray Lewis started the Superbowl in Faith and ended it in Faith in God! At the beginning of the game during the coin toss he called heads! Why? Because the Bible says we are the head and not the tail! After the Raven’s won the super bowl he said, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Ray ended his 13 year career in the NFL with a victory! His Faith in God is a living Faith and his life a testimony to God’s Faithfulness to him! Thankyou. James Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
