Commitment Beyond Distractions
Are they Hebrews? so am I. Are they Israelites? so am I. Are they the seed of Abraham? so am I. Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as a fool) I am more; in labours more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequent, in deaths oft. Of the Jews five times received…
The Fullness of Grace
And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. John bare witness of him, and cried saying, This is he of whom I spake, He cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before…
The Greatest of These is Love
We love him, because he first loved us. 1 John 5:13 Love! It is the most basic building block of Christian discipleship. It is both the simplest concept and the most difficult to actually practice, in its truest form. The Bible itself is based upon love as being the root of its message. At the…
Being Made Whole
24 And Jesus went with him; and much people followed him, and thronged him. 25 And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years, 26 And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse, 27 When she had heard of Jesus, came…
Taking A Pause, Part 4 of 4
For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry. Luke 15: 24 Revive The last stage of the Selah (Reflect, Reassess and Repent) is Revive. Oftentimes in the church world when one speaks of “revival” the thought that is conjured is one…
Taking A Pause, Part 3 of 4
Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do? Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye…
Taking A Pause, Part 2 of 4
They say hindsight is 20/20. The thought behind the saying is pretty obvious. When we look back on the events of our lives with a present focus, there is a clarity that, currently, we did not see in the midst of those past events. The judgements that we made in the midst of those past…
Taking A Pause, Part 1 of 4
I was recently asked if I had any New Year’s resolutions for 2022. My response was that I really do not make resolutions. I just take life day-to-day. The response may seem to be a bit of a cliché. However, I have learned that making resolutions without having the true commitment is a waisted exercise.…
Fear: The Faith Killer
There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. 1 John 4: 18 In this letter from John the Apostle, his purpose was to show Christ’s divinity and how He is the great interceder between man and God. John…
Healthy Families: Epilogue
So this blog series is not the definitive answer on how to obtain and maintain a healthy home. And I am not an expert by any stretch of the imagination. There are many who have greater wisdom on the subject, either through experience or age or by just having more knowledge. My attempt, as frail…
