Though the going was rough, they were resting on the promises that Jesus had made concerning the follow up to His crucifixion, and then the resurrection and ascension. While there may not be the violence of that hour, but it remains a stigma if a Jew converts to Christianity. We must realize that selected vocabularyContinue reading “VICTORIOUS NOT VICTIMS”

VICTORIOUS NOT VICTIMS
The Book of Acts is filled with the victories that the disciples of Jesus experienced as they presented Christ to a basically Jewish audience. Though the going was rough, they were resting on the promises that Jesus had made concerning the follow up to His crucifixion, and then the resurrection and ascension. While there mayContinue reading “VICTORIOUS NOT VICTIMS”
I WILL SEND MY BELOVED
There are those who will always challenge the conclusion to which we adhere: God is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, who exists in the form of a trinity. He is a unified personality who cannot be divided into different parts. (Deut. 6:4; Isa. 44:6; Jer. 10:19; Mark 12:29; 1 Thess. 1:9; 1 Tim. 2:5) TheContinue reading “I WILL SEND MY BELOVED”
TOO PROUD TO ASK
Over the years a preacher is approached with all types of questions, sometimes they are legitimate, and other times they come from pre-conceived ideas. When they originate I try to determine the apparent legitimacy; or is it for the purpose of arguing. I hate debating, and thus I find myself in a defensive mode, evenContinue reading “TOO PROUD TO ASK”
24-HOUR COVERAGE
It’s the way my brain works. I see something small, and it might well be something of insignificance, but it “latches on” and turns into pondering.

A PROMISE OF POWER
“And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever – the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you.” John 14:16-17 In John 14, Jesus madeContinue reading “A PROMISE OF POWER”
DO YOU UNDERSTAND?
“He was led as a lamb to the slaughter,And as a sheep before its shearers is silent,So He opened not His mouth. He was taken from prison and from judgment,And who will declare His generation?” Isaiah 53:8 Fascinating! The message of Christianity; Jesus had died for the sin of mankind; He had been buried and rose fromContinue reading “DO YOU UNDERSTAND?”
