Be With Me: 7 Minutes of Biblical Wonder

A mighty Savior is coming. That's important, as He will need to do some powerful things. We should be humble. The greatest human ever to live wasn't worthy of comparison to Jesus. We should be ready to be THRESHED. That's when a farmer takes the Harvest and throws it into the air with a pitchfork.  The lighter stalks and chaff blows away, and the heavier grain falls straight down, t...

If we had a brood of snakes released into a church on a Sunday morning, everybody would be pretty animated about it.  So was John the Baptist when a bunch of Vipers showed up at his spiritual event. He calls a snake a snake.  Join me for 7 minutes to find out why. As a bonus, you'll learn how not-to-be-a-snake. Subscribe for more reptilian wisdom tomorrow. https://youtu.be/3Kq8PEVHItU

If you want to find Jesus, you'll go thru repentance first. The pursuit of Jesus is intertwined with the pursuit of repentance. What is the last door that leads to Jesus? It is the door of repentance Repentance is rare, but it POINTS TO JESUS Repentance is the last door that leads to Jesus. Prove me wrong. ;-) Watch and join. https://youtu.be/h0a1KTbgeEY

No resurrection=No Christianity But if it is true, everything else He said and did is true. This is why we celebrate on Easter Sunday and is  why Easter is celebrated on all the other Sundays in Christianity. Every thing that Christianity stands FOR, stands UPON Easter.*** Everything rises or falls on the death and resurrection of Jesus. We are not the most pitied, we are the most partied!  Everyt...

What if we have something better than the voice of angel? Joseph, our recent hero, has had four dreams in which angels have visited and told  him directly to do something.  Happily, he obeys immediately, time after time.  I think if God sent an angel to us, we'd probably obey. But what if God sends something that is better than an angel for us? Listen 7 minutes to find out.  Share, repost ple...

The worst Friday of 30AD was detailed 600 years earlier in a prophesy by Isaiah.  It describes, quite specifically, the events of what we now call "Good" Friday.  What is depicted in Isaiah 53 is so powerful, it has actually launched the curious all the way to belief.  Join me for a Good Friday meditation that is for anyone who has a heartbeat.  Perhaps, like the Ethiopian eunuch, it wil...

Join me for 7 minutes as we look at a man who rages against God. Unfortunately, he then enacts his fury upon the innocent. In the end, his fury against God results in fury toward the innocent--newborns, infants, and toddlers. Herod could have stopped when he was merely troubled.  Doesn't exposure to God trouble us all?  Let's be careful what we do with the Lord's troubling.  If you...

What does a King do when he hears about a NEW KING in town? Watch as the ruthless Herod makes some first steps in response.  None of them are good. Though it is convenient to throw stones at evil Herod, the question also comes home to us.  What will WE do, with our little kingdoms, when the NEW KING shows up?  watch and repost.  https://youtu.be/wPyR4SlG5fk

I guarantee this will be the best podcast you have ever watched about Frankincense. We'll throw in some thoughts on gold and Myrrh as well. They are all rare , precious and valuable . The Wise-guys use such things to WORSHIP.  You might consider such wisdom. Subscribe: Not every podcast will be about frankincense . ;-) https://youtu.be/vSawuWA5zK8

If you are going to "worship like a wise-guy", like the Wise Men: you are going to need to gather with other believers you are going to have to hang on tight to Scripture You are going to have to be ready when God "sends a star" you are going to have it cost you something. That is how you can worship wisely, just like the Wise-guys. To be further wise: subscribe and share https...

We call the 3 guys on the camels near the birth of Jesus WISE MEN.  Well, what exactly makes them wise?  One thing: worship. They set themselves to worship the Right Guy in the right place and at the right time.  It comes with great cost. Join with me for 7 minutes on our journey with them.   Like and subscribe and share. https://youtu.be/tLRmfFoIFCE

Our reluctant hero Joseph, regarding the baby, is told told to CALL HIS NAME JESUS.  He does.  But does Joseph CALL UPON the name of Jesus in faith? Does Joseph trust, rely and put confidence in the Person and work of Jesus? This is a question for all of us. Join me to assess our calling upon too. Subscribe comment share like or argue.  https://youtu.be/bBqs58ForGE

We hear the name of "Jesus" relatively frequently. Many times the name is used "in vain" or without purpose, perhaps in cursing. But there comes a moment when that name becomes associated with the true God and with purpose. He says He comes to save us from our sins. Nothing else has ever worked.  At a certain moment, the generic name of Jesus can become the SAVING name of Jesus...

Joseph is rightfully afraid of marrying Mary.  She may come with stoning, not just of her, but of Joseph too. To get Joseph moving on this point, God sends an angel to announce the truth: Mary has conceived by an act of the Holy Spirit It's a boy. His name is Jesus and He has a job: to save people from their sins. GO MARRY THAT GIRL and get this thing started! Subscribe. https://youtu.be/wfVn...

When you have a Big-Boy-Decision to make, sometimes God addresses you by your Big-Boy-Name . This should get your attention. Perhaps He'll also send an angel. Such is the situation of Joseph, who is asked to change his mind and by so doing, put himself in particular peril. Watch as Joseph stands with Mary as he is pretty sure she has lain with another. God will ask him to change his mind abou...

Mary betrays Joseph during their betrothal period.  At least Joseph thinks Mary has betrayed him. Joseph has something to say about what happens next.  Shame and stoning are on the menu in response to this great injustice.  But Joseph decides NO . He saves Mary's life and the unborn Jesus' life, 4 months in the womb, by this resolving. We find Joseph is just and is unwilling to put Mary...

The beatitudes, in a sense, start with a genealogy. For a long time, God has seen the rebellion of humans, even the rebellion of His chosen people. It is all recounted, in a sense, by the recalling in a genealogy.  It isn't a pretty picture.  We end with our great need. You have got to help us God!  The good news is that He does.  All along He has been the God who sees.  It is a necessary thi...

What are all the sinners doing in the genealogy of Jesus? Well, they are EXACTLY where they should be.  A rescue operation needs knuckleheads to be rescued. Join me for 7 minutes as we look at the sinners in the line of Jesus who need to be rescued themselves. Only God can figure this out! Subscribe to the YouTube channel.  https://youtu.be/bz2bO5hVK74

You have got to be kidding me. Who in their right mind starts a gospel and the beatitudes with a genealogy? Isn’t that the most boring, most skipped over, the stupidest start of any life story? All a genealogy holds is history, people and scandal. That is the big point. People need a rescue.  Not perfect people, for there are none of them.  Flawed people are the ones He came to save.  Start the be...

T he psalms stand, as an access point to God for those with great emotions , great questions , and great situations . Today is the last day of 190 days in the Psalms. I'm sad to leave them. I'm grateful for this journey with you.  Who knew they were so great? Why didn't YOU TELL ME?! Why might a person turn to the psalms? do you have a great emotion ? do you have a great question ?...

Most people have a high favorability rating for their own mothers.  Will they all go to heaven? Will their wonderfulness be enough to earn a spot next to Jesus? Psalm 53 clarifies the criteria.  It is a little shocking, especially as we throw our dear mothers into the mix.  Join me for 7 minutes to assess Mom by the heavenly criteria.  Yikes! https://youtu.be/o4VxzYdElLs

There is no doubt that for most, the pathway to happiness, and the reward being bestowed by God is to get married; to have a quiver full of children. Should I have children?: generally yes yes yes. How many children should I have? A quiver full. If you were to prepare for militarily tough times ahead, how many arrows would you prepare with?
