How many of you are familiar with the story of Lazarus found in John 11? When you read this chapter of God’s Word, what questions or thoughts come to mind? I have read this story on more than one occasion. Only recently has God opened my eyes to an awesome perspective of the miracle He performed…
My family recently got into watching the last season of the Food Network show: The Next Food Network Star. Aaron McCargo Jr. won the show and he was our family’s choice to win. We hoped Aaron would win and here’s why. We were watching one of the last episodes as it showed the final contestants and Aaron was…
Have you ever heard someone say, that you need to get plugged in? In the world of wireless devices and portable everything, doesn’t it seem odd that we use the phrase “get plugged in”. Maybe somehow we know deep down, that the only way to really experience relationship is through human interaction, not electronic communication….
We were able to visit an awesome church last night in Birmingham – Philadelphia Baptist Church – which is one of the churches we are partnering with! The church put together a “Glory Revealed” worship service led by Josh Meredith and Pastor Barry Bruce last night. It was a tremendous time of worship and we loved this…
Who’s image are you made in? Genesis 1:27 tells me: “So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.” – The Holy Bible : English standard version. 2001 (electronic ed.) . Good News Publishers: Wheaton. Personally, it’s not real flattering to tell my children…
I read recently that evolutionists are pushing for a new holiday for Feb. 12th called “Darwin Day” because this year is the 200th anniversary of his birth. The article came from the ministry, Answers In Genesis, founded by Ken Ham. Because I believe the Bible is true, I am a creationist since God says that He spoke…
Forgiveness and Repentance are difficult subjects to blog about. I hope I did not confuse you! My primary goal was to link the two concepts for you because most people do not understand the gift of repentance! The Gospel is balanced – man needs repentance which is a gift of God (Rom. 2:4) and forgiveness…
There are 2 types of people in this world: believers in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and UNbelievers. Both need repentance and forgiveness. Believers need Fatherly forgiveness from God on a continual basis for sins. Believers must repent and believe in Christ asking God to forgive them. Unbelievers need judicial forgiveness from God on…
What about situations like rape, severe abuse, and murder of a child by an unbeliever? How is the offended party who has been raped, abused, or lost a dear loved one to murder supposed to respond if he/she is a Christian? The answer: like Christ did. IN LOVE. We’ve got to get past this tempory…
I think we emphasize forgiveness more than we emphasize repentance. I find that more people do not understand the gift of repentance (Rom. 2:4) that God gives us. Repentance is good.
