Know This.

As followers of Jesus Christ, we like to dwell on the positive promises in scripture such as: eternal life, victory, God’s presence and so on. What we don’t want to be reminded of is the fact that we are hated by the unbelieving world and are at war with darkness. Why else would we sing: Onward Christian Soldiers, The Battle Belongs to the Lord, Lead on, O King Eternal or Faith is the Victory and many more?

Miracles and Criticism

Sunday, we saw the irony of two blind men calling Jesus the “Son of David.” They could not see Him yet they believed He was the long-awaited Messiah who would be known as the “Son of David” according to Isaiah 9:7. The blind men could see this even before Jesus’ disciples and religious leaders.

Three in One, Does it Matter? 

When discussing the trinity with someone who doesn’t believe it or is confused, I learned from experience that it does not help to use ‘trinitarian texts’ such as the great commission in Matthew 28 where it mentions the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

A Prayer for Transition

We don’t naturally consider the crucifixion as a means of being glorified. It was a means of maximizing pain, suffering, humiliation and the one crucified was considered damned by God.

No Orphans

Kids become orphans by various means. Abandoned by their parent(s), death of parents or guardian, or simply being unwanted. A number of them may be separated from their siblings and even be moved from one foster family to another.

Jesus, the Way to the Father

When we talk about Jesus being the only way to the Father, we are referencing heaven. There are many questions surrounding heaven: Where is it; who is there; will we recognize one another? These are but a few questions we ask and most importantly; how do we get there?

Hate Speech

Speech, how and when did that come to be? That’s not hard to figure out. “In the beginning God said…”. God is the first one to speak and with such authority the heavens and earth came into existence.

I Know My Redeemer Lives

Jesus claimed to be the redeemer of the world, the Messiah, the Son of God the Old Testament promised. Since then and even before, others have made similar claims.
