More Notes Again

I have a few more notes to share that I've written over time. The difference between a missionary and a "regular" Christian is simply the location in which they preach the Gospel. Sanctification is becoming in practice what our position is in Christ. You must pursue...

Wounds and the Being

I've talked about things like this before, but it's always good to talk about them again. An injury or a wound can happen in a number of ways and because of a number of things. You and I can be visibly physically wounded, and we can be wounded in non-physical ways...

Why Do You Believe What You Believe?

Take a look at the things you believe, the things you are fully persuaded are true. Whether these things are religious, scientific, or otherwise, why do you think and feel that they are true and real? Do you really believe them, or are they just comfortable to you?...

Tailor Made: Temptation and Grace

I don't think often enough about the spiritual war that is constantly being waged where I can't see with my physical eyes. It's always happening, whether I think about it or not, whether I'm awake or asleep. God and Satan are at odds. That doesn't mean that it's a...

Strikes Me Interesting – The Idea of God

Present and Future Persecution

We often think of the early church or the later part of the End Times when we talk about persecution. But it wasn't just the early Christians that were persecuted, and it isn't just future Christians that will be persecuted. Many Christians the world over are...

No matter how dismal life looks, Jesus is risen! He is actually alive again; He is risen indeed! You may be having a hard time this Easter, but do not lose hope! Jesus is still Lord. He has saved us from our sins and has risen again to bring us eternal life! Jesus is...

Christ’s Passion

With Easter practically here, I've been thinking more specifically about what Jesus did for us. For the parts I'm talking about, here are some Scripture references for part of the week of Jesus' Passion: Matthew 21-27; Mark 11-15; Luke 22-23; John 12-19. Jesus was in...

Persecution? Hooray!

Yesterday's Sunday School lesson was an overview of the Beatitudes, with emphasis on persecution. Take a look at Matthew 5:1-12 and Luke 6:20-23. The Beatitudes build on each other, and as you develop them and become more like Christ, you get to graduate and become...
