Get Up, Pick Up, Walk!!

Get Up, Pick Up, Walk!!

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2593259/fan_mail/new] 5 One who was there had been an invalid for thirty-eight years. 6 When Jesus saw him lying there and learned that he had been in this condition for a long time, he asked him, “Do you want to get well?” 7 “Sir,” the invalid replied, “I have no one to help me into the pool when the water is stirred. While I am trying to get in, someone else goes down ahead of me.” 8 Then Jesus said to him, “Get up! Pick up your mat and walk.” 9 At once the man was cured; he picked up his mat and walked. What would a John 5 experience look like for you?

Drinking, Gambling, Oh Dear!!!

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2593259/fan_mail/new] Is it ok for a Christian to drink? What does the Bible say about going to a casino? These are two of many questions that are asked by both Christians and non Christians. While we all have strong opinions and valid reasons for those opinions.  However,  we all know the greatest enemy of opinion is fact.  Before I dig myself into a deeper hole, give this a listen and by the end you’ll  either grab a shovel, or….a bag of dirt.

Please Help My Unbelief

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2593259/fan_mail/new] Mark 9:24 Immediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears, “Lord, I believe; please help my unbelief!” Faith and unbelief can coexist as we see from this scripture. However, we cannot stay in this place and expect to grow in the Lord and see Him at work in our lives. We can take a lesson from this dad who was desperate to see his son healed, but lacked the belief Jesus could do it but instead of hiding the problem, the dad admitted it.  Where are you struggling with unbelief?

The Word

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2593259/fan_mail/new] There is a scene in Russell Crowe’s Robin Hood where he is sitting at the bedside of an elderly man who said, “ I have much to tell you about history…about your history.”  For the first time Robin learned of his true heritage which in turn shaped his future and ultimately the future of England. For some reason, I have always related this particular scene to God and His call for every believer to know the Word, not just the history, but how it applies to the present and the future.   We must not neglect spending time in God’s Word not just to read it, but to know Him and what that means for our past, present, and future.

Choose Your Alignment

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2593259/fan_mail/new] Spiritual warfare is real, so real that people often dismiss it as a seasonal troubles, depression, bad days, or the nauseous “it is what it is”.  Even though God does  not cause bad things, He often gets the blame more so than we admit. We can align with the demonic or align with Christ. It really is a choice we have to make and make more than once.
