One of my friends told another friend, "Don't worry, Manny will be back, he does this (gets religious) from time to time. We've seen him go through these little Jesus highs." Brethren, it breaks my heart so much that I stained the name of Christ so much, as an unbeliever, claiming to know Him but walking in ungodly sin, staining the name of Christ.

Kingdom math is 5 Loaves + 2 Fish - 20,000 Ate = 12 Baskets Leftover. Are you convinced that such a math equation works? We can be so prone to doubt that we forget the Lord's ability to provide.

John 6:44 says, "No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him. And I will raise him up on the last day." Does this verse teach that God drags people kicking and screaming into heaven? And that those who want to come cannot come? No!
