Speaking of miracles

[Tatie]

There is a lot of talk about miracles around these days, especially around Christmas time, even CNN ran a special this week on Anderson 360, every day there were different type of miracles looked onto, I only watched about healing miracles (one girl is walking around dumbfounding the medical community as she has tumors in her back that made her bed ridden before, but after the nun organized a prayer for her the girl started walking and is now living a noraml life, the nun was cannonized). On PAX TV they show a lot of miracles, I watched a girl pinned down under the car for 8 hours, her dead father appeared to her and said everything is going to be fine, soon after a motorist ran out of gas misteriously (he was supposed to run out of gas much sooner after they culculated it) at the same place and found the girl.

I started thinking what miracles should we believe - all or do we follow Jesus's guidline, the miracles that he did? It would be so easy for him to fly around or do a lot of magic, but he did mostly healing, raised the dead (but only two?), turned water into wine (but I feel he was kind'a forced into it by necessity ) , so should we study the miracles that Jesus did or shoudl we be open as He said "the workd that I do, you shall do even greater"?

personally . . . i don't watch most Christian TV and miracle shows cos after reading the wof threads and doing a little thinking and attentive listening i came to the conclusion to just abstain from most of it. the shows like the one u talk of on PAX is similar, i assume, to the one we have here but i forget its name. most of the miracles on these shows and how they happen clash with what we know from the scriptures.

Modern day miracles are happening all around us every day! We

do not hear the half of what the Lord is doing in peoples lives!

Whether these TV shows are just "Hollywoodizing miracles" or not, I still know Miracles are happening to ordinary people everwhere!

Amen. I believe in miracles too, I think as Christians we live in God's world and not this world, and God operates in a spiritual world, the acts of which are miracles for this world, but the world doesn't believe in miracles so they don't exist while they are happening all around.
