Jesus: Guest or Friend?

Reverse Engineered Repackaged Repurposed

Don’t repackage what God has already done.   Because… Isaiah 43:19 19 Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.

Get Up, Pick Up, Walk!!

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.
