This world is not worthy!

The Ol' devil growls that he will silence the testimonies of Christians.  He goes to school, employment and church to kill their bodies.

Satan thought he would intimidate kids in Littleton, Colorado:
"Do you believe?"
"Yes, I believe."
Tragic and waste of youth and their dreams yet as a result many books, sermons and interviews happened that would have not been otherwise. Instead of killing, it multiplied the testimony and faith of other kids. Giving God the glory from a faithful teenager.

During the height of racial tension a young man enters a church and killed some very precious people. This was a time of retaliation and a tooth for a tooth in our nation.  The friends and relatives and worshipers of this church, demonstrated nothing but mercy and grace (as best they could.) displaying light in a dark and perverse generation.

These and other martyrs from beheadings now know more than I.....The excitement of faithfulness, really following God! Something many know not of.
Resist the devil and he will flee.

A Bum With a Sign

We ponder the idea; Should we have ministry to the homeless, should we give a gift to someone that seems to be homeless, when they might not appreciate it, or even buy drugs, etc.

You might as well wonder about anyone at our table or those who come for the day and don't appreciate the food or time spent.

Jesus may have been weary from all the takers looking for healing and deliverance and anything else they could get.  Many did love and praise him. He knew the hearts of those that didn't.

He did it with compassion anyway. Let's pray for the compassion of Christ.

Ch 1 - Crazy Love by Francis Chan

Go, Follow, Lead!

                                          He went lakeside and said: "Follow Me."

The Light, Lamb and Life!

When I read the book of John, it appears the chosen disciples actually knew the identity of Jesus.  In their conversations to one another and Jesus, they address him as Jesus of Nazareth, but also Rabbi, King of Israel and the Son of God.  Later Peter would answer: "You are the Christ. The Son of the living God."

I'm sure they didn't comprehend many of His teachings, His death, to name a few. 

We then ask "Why did they act the way they acted, if they knew who He was?"  You and I say we know Him and have received Him. Why do we act the way we act?

Thank God He is the Word (Logos) ; the mediator, God Himself and Grace and Truth!
