Send us Fan Mail In the process of growing in Christ, we are faced with another crossroad.  One way is to stay status quo and not get too excited about anything because people will think we are weird.  The other way is to get serious about Jesus and let Him radically change us into a child of God as He gives us the power to become His child.  

Send us Fan Mail Paul presents several questions, answers and arguments defending the sole sufficiency of Christ and it's superiority over the Law reminding those Gentile believers that the Law of Moses doesn't cleanse them nor does it give them spiritual power to draw close to God.  

Send us Fan Mail How we approach the Lord declares our relationship with Him.  Are we doubting Him or demanding from Him?  Or are we seeking His will to be done over all else.  In this episode there are two men each with a different approach to Jesus and a different response from Jesus.  Both received what they were asking but it is very telling in their approach why Jesus responded differently to...

Send us Fan Mail Paul continues his letter to the churches in Galatia and in chapter 2 we see Paul rebuking Peter for separating himself from the Gentiles when certain Jewish brothers came to Antioch to pay the church a visit.  This demonstrates Paul's insistence that Jews and Gentiles are no longer separated rather they are all one in Christ. 

Send us Fan Mail After God calls a person they either accept the call or refuse.  When a person accepts the call things change and it's time to get serious about Jesus then follow Him.  

Send us Fan Mail In chapter one of the letter to the churches in Galatia, Paul introduces himself and begins immediately to address the issue at hand.  That is the false teaching that was sweeping through their new churches drawing them into the Law of Moses instead of liberating them from legalism.  

Send us Fan Mail "Nobody comes to me unless the Father draws him."  That calling of God is something I believe every human experiences at some point in their lives if not multiple times.  It's the Father pulling us to Jesus so that we can be empowered by the Holy Spirit and have true communion with God.  Understanding that God is calling us can have a dramatic effect upon a person w...

Send us Fan Mail The letter to the churches in that region called "Galatia" defends the freedom of Christ from legalism or unreasonable rules.  The Apostle Paul ministered to the cities in this region on his missionary journeys resulting in the Gospel taking root in several cities.  However teachers came in after Paul and persuaded the new believers to follow their way of teaching involv...

Send us Fan Mail Spiritual growth is an important part of every believer's life.  Child of God should never be content with "business as usual" in their walk with Jesus.  A life spent learning Christ is a life of spiritual abundance that prepares us for our eternal home.  In this series I will share my experience with Jesus and the steps throughout the years that He has compelled me...

Send us Fan Mail In our world of business and chaos we can become so distracted that our relationship with God goes on a shelf.  But in the chaos, we can trust Jesus and simply be still and know that He is God.  If we are able to do this it makes life much less chaotic as He is with us.   

Send us Fan Mail Chapter 22 concludes the Revelation of Jesus Christ and in it we are warned that He is coming soon.  Living our lives being ready for the day when we meet Him should motivate every believer to stay faithful to Jesus and obey the Holy Spirit day by day ensuring our lives are used for the glory of His Kingdom.  

Send us Fan Mail Ch.21 reveals the New Heavens and the New Earth foretold in the Old Testament.  Now we get a glimpse, in human terms, what it will be like.

Send us Fan Mail The life of a believer requires some things.  Salvation by grace through faith is the starting point but with that comes a cleansing when the Holy Spirit is invited into a person's life.  The process of cleansing is ongoing throughout the believer's life and brings us closer to Jesus as we distance ourself from our own iniquity.  

Send us Fan Mail Jesus was born in a manger in Bethlehem which is the focus of the Christmas holiday.  However, why he was born and the significance to the believer individually, is often times overlooked during the holiday.  That baby was born to die for the sins of the world so that those who believe in Him would not perish but have eternal life.    

Send us Fan Mail The book of Revelation and its many interpretations often collide in Ch.20.  Jesus is said to bind Satan, establish the Long awaited Kingdom which lasts 1000 years, Satan is released at the conclusion of the 1000 years and there is a final rebellion on earth where all the wicked are slain and the transition is ready from this current reality into the New Heaven and New Earth.  

Send us Fan Mail As children of God we are called to live free in Christ.  To a person who has never experienced the new birth and new life in Christ this probably will not register.  But to those who have we understand that we are free from those things that chained us as unbelievers.  So staying free is now the task for the believer and that can be a challenge but walking in the Spirit, pursuing...

Send us Fan Mail Revelation Ch.19 reveals the Marriage Supper of the Lamb in heaven prior to the return of Jesus to establish His kingdom.  The chapter also includes His return and the battle of Armaggedon.  

Send us Fan Mail The Power of the Holy Spirit in a believer is the power of God within them.  This doesn't mean a person can conjure up power and use it at will rather it's the power that is always ready to move a believer toward and in the will of God.  This is how we function as children of God - with our Father's power.  

Send us Fan Mail Revelation Ch.18 reveals the destruction of Babylon the Great also called the Great City and the Women who sits on the Beast.  The Great City is identified as Jerusalem in Ch.11 so it appears to me that Babylon the Great is Jerusalem under the reign of the Antichrist.  The city may become the center of the world economy when the Antichrist or "Beast" begins to exert poli...

Send us Fan Mail Living in harmony with one another and God is a lofty task.  And the reason is that we can get stuck in our old nature and never experience the deliverance that comes from the Holy Spirit.  But with the Holy Spirit we can be transformed into children of light and that harmony increases.  Staying in that place where we are being renewed day by day is the key.  

Send us Fan Mail This new vision or new part of the overall vision shows the finality of the judgments of God up to the end of the Great Tribulation.  

Send us Fan Mail Chapter 17 introduces John to a women who sits on a beast.  The women, also known as the "great city," "the great prostitute" and "Babylon the Great" is a key player in the tribulation period.  I believe the "great city" being defined in Rev 11:8 as the city of Jerusalem, or the city where the Lord was crucified, is represented in all these...

Send us Fan Mail John's vision which started in ch.7:9 comes to an end here in ch.15:4 where the scene is heaven with the end of the Great Tribulation in view.  

Send us Fan Mail Being thankful is a part of the believer's experience with God.  When our hearts are given over to Jesus and we are made new in Him, we have so much to look forward to in eternity and in this life as well.  He will empower us with a new life serving Him and doing things for the Kingdom which will reap big rewards in eternity and in many cases here as well. 

Send us Fan Mail King David had his ups and downs.  But his heart was yielded to God and through those times when life was very difficult for him, he soon learned that God was with him when his heart was right.
