Faith: More than meets the Eye
Faith is not the ignorance of reality; it is the entrance into a reality that the world cannot begin to see.

Where are you going in this New Year?
…if we do not have a crisis that changes things, we’re headed for more years like the years we’ve been experiencing…
Swaddling Clothes: Gift-Wrapped Salvation
This Christmas, let us never lose sight of this fact: that Jesus was born to die, so that we who are dead could live. In the exultant celebration of Jesus’ birth, remember that the gift God gave us is Jesus’ death.
The Man with the Palsy | Salvation vs. Miracles: How do you see Jesus?
How do we see Jesus? Is Jesus our Saviour onto eternal life in fellowship with God? Or, Is Jesus a tool to fix problems in this life? When faced with life’s problems what do we want from Jesus? Do we want exercise our faith or ease our flesh? Do we want His “strength to be made perfect” in our “weakness”?
The Man with the Palsy | Deeds vs. Declarations: How do you see your brother?
What will we do to help those in need? If the society is in decay, what will you do to stop it? The world grows darker only when our (believers) lights grow dimmer.
License, Loopholes, Legislation and Legitimacy
Righteousness is not proven by what you don’t do; it is not proven by what laws you don’t break. Righteousness IS proven by what you DO!!!
The Man with the Palsy | Spiritual vs. Physical: How do you see yourself?
Our physical state (healthy or sick, rich or poor, thin or fat, red or yellow) neither qualifies nor disqualifies us for entrance into the Kingdom of God: the ONLY thing that matters is our Spiritual state: whether our sins have been forgiven. If God forgives your sin, then you are in.
You Are Loved
You don’t have to be on the A team.
You don’t have to be on the B team.
You don’t have to have made the team.
You are loved.
Elijah and the Captains of Fifty | The Good, The Bad and the Uh… Seriously??
If we humble ourselves to God, we will enjoy success (as God defines it) in this earthly life and in eternity; and we will avoid the fires of judgment. Don’t force God to show you who is King: serve Him and be fireproof; challenge Him and you will get fire proof.
Man of Contrasts
He who is the Bread of Life began His ministry hungering. He who is the Water of Life ended His ministry thirsting. Christ hungered as a man, yet fed the hungry as God. He was weary, yet He is our rest. He paid tribute, yet He is the King. He was called a devil, but He cast out demons. He prayed, yet He hears prayer. He wept, and He dries our tears. He was sold for 30 pieces of silver, yet He redeems sinners. He was led as a lamb to the slaughter, yet He is the Good Shepherd. He gave His life, and by dying He destroyed death.
