Sometimes Christians say they can't forgive themselves for something they have done. If you ask them if God has forgiven them, they will say, "Yes, but I have a hard time forgiving myself."  What they don't realize is that they are basically saying they have a higher standard of holiness than God Himself !

It doesn't matter how your day has gone.  Always go home with your head held high.

Plucked, pounded, mistreated, overworked but still with dignity.
Attitude is everything.
NO MATTER HOW BAD LIFE IS TREATING YOU, REMEMBER TO STAND TALL AND HOLD YOUR HEAD UP HIGH

Jesus Christ is the reason for the season. It is at this time we celebrate that time 2000 years ago when God came to earth in the flesh to provide the payment for the sins of the whole world. Many people in this day do not like that name Jesus Christ. They would rather go on in their sins on their merry way to Hell. Militant atheists are trying their best to stamp out that name. Politically correct politicians and Congress are trying to stop Christian politicians from wishing people a Merry Christmas. Every day, I read online about groups trying their best to stamp out the name of Christ and Christianity. They should read Psalms 2:1-6:

Christianity is not a religion. It is a relationship. Many people call themselves Christians these days, but that does not make it so. These people believe that simply following the moral teachings of Christ is what makes them a Christian. Nothing could be farther from the truth. For example, suppose I went down to the Army surplus store and bought a soldier's uniform. I could dress up in fatigues, helmet, carry a rifle and act the part, and call myself a soldier. Would that make me one? Of course not. I have to become a soldier by signing up with a recruiter. Many people act the same way when talking about Christianity. They believe that if they try their best to live a good life according to the teachings of Christianity, that automatically makes them a Christian.

In life, all Christians encounter dry periods when it seems they pray and pray, but God seems far away and unreachable. It seems God has gone on vacation or even abandoned us. This experience is more common than many people realize. I  have been there myself more than a few times in life. What does it mean?

Someone asked me a while back how to approach other drivers with the Gospel. Of course, you will want some type of presentation prepared for presenting the plan of salvation. However, the individual approach will be different depending on a lot of factors. Here are some pointers including what I call the "Shock Approach".

Someone once wrote me telling how he had difficulty dealing with problems. He said he believed in a "Higher Power". My response was that it takes more than that to successfully wage the battles of life. I asked him if he had a pocketknife or full artillery.

I get a lot of visitors to this site who are searching for Christian trucking firms to haul for. There is nothing wrong with that of course. However, I sometimes wonder about the real reasons people have for wanting to run for a Christian based trucking outfit. I'm sure many would just like to have the Christian fellowship and comaraderie which comes from that. There are some things I would like to point out to Christian truckers though.

How To Know You Are A Christian

 One of the questions my readers sometimes ask me is how do they go about advertising (getting the word out) about a ministry they are starting up for truckers. The answer to that question depends on the type of ministry they have and who they are trying to reach. There are, however, some general answers.

Some of you have written me over the past few months wondering if you should get into trucking. Many of you have been layed off and unemployed for a number of months and are feeling in a kind of limbo and even desperate. I know the feeling. Although I can't tell you whether or not you should be a truck driver, I can offer some general principles about how God sometimes directs us into a direction He wants us to go. Please read the following prayerfully and may God lead you into an understanding of what He wants you to do.

For those of you who are wondering how to become a trucker, I've written this short article as a primer on the topic. Being a truck driver offers experiences you won't find in other occupations. Truck driving can offer excitement, new experiences and allow you to see new places and explore the country. It can also be a grueling lifestyle at times and can create hardships if you are married.

For those of you who have been keeping up with the international news, I am sure you are getting the feeling that the Rapture is not far off. Iran is flouting its nose at the international community regarding its development of nuclear capability. A Russian shipment of missles to Iran was intercepted supposedly by the Israeli Mossad. Iran is developing a relationship with Venezula and Venezula has agreed to replicate Irans nuclear development. With the continuing destruction of our country by our elected officials, I don't see how anyone can doubt the prophecies in scripture are rapidly coming into place. America is not is Bible prophecy. I think that this year we have seen the reasons this is so.

Special Report: The 'Defeated' Christian

By Jack Kinsella - Omega Letter Editor

You’ve all seen him. The defeated Christian. The guy who tries and tries, but after being saved for thirty years, he still hasn’t quit smoking. Instead, he hides his cigarettes before coming to church and won’t get too close when shaking your hand for fear you’ll smell the smoke on him.

Or the Christian who you know is saved, but he just can't quite give up the bottle. Or the Christian who got saved, but doesn't go to church, because he just doesn’t think he fits in with the rest of the crowd?

Or won’t go because he thinks that everybody at church is a big hypocrite? That defeated Christian who knows that even though he is saved, it just didn't seem to ‘take' like it seemed to with everybody else, so he’d just as soon not be reminded of it all the time by being around those to whom it did.

Especially since, if he were to mention it, somebody would point out it was either because of some unconfessed sin, or maybe he just wasn't all that sincere when he first accepted Christ.

Why is it that some Christians get saved, and immediately become a new creature, where others get saved, and look remarkably like the old one?

Human Trafficking in the Trucking Industry

You've probably seen it around the truck stops, yet never realized what it was. That prostitute knocking on your truck door could very well be a human slave forced into prostitution by others. If so, then she is shuttled around from truck stop to truck stop and forced into degrading acts just to put money in the pocket of her "owners". At night she cries and dreams of home and freedom. She prays to God, yet there is no answer.

Learn what you can do to stop human trafficking.

It Takes More Faith to Be an Atheist Than a Theist.

I get a laugh out of athiests who say they don't believe in anything which can't be proven scientifically and therefore do not believe in God. It's not only quite a contradiction they are making, it is an outright lie. Or maybe they are only self-deceived. While it is true that a theist (one who believes in a God) cannot scientifically prove God's existence, neither can an atheist disprove that God exists. So, an atheist has to hold his or her belief on the basis of faith as well. In fact, it takes more "blind" faith to be an atheist than a theist. The reason is that there is evidence for the existence of God. Just look around you at creation, An atheist has to hold their view in spite of this evidence. Of course, an atheist will try to explain creation by using evolution. What they won't admit however, is that evolution is only a theory which has more holes in it than a flour sieve.

Get Involved? Who...Me?

Want to get involved in some type of ministry on the road, but don't know exactly how to go about it? There is plenty of need for Bible distributors to pass out Bibles to the chapels at the truckstops. You can purchase Bibles through ministries such as HMI Ministries . Buy a case of paperback Bibles for around $65 plus shipping and handling and just ask them for a distributor's list when you order. The list will tell you all the stops throughout the country where you can distribute them. There are a lot of people on the road who have been saved through these Bibles and it is well worth the effort. Sixty five bucks, yeah, that's less than the cost of a motel room for one night these days.
