Lack of Faith - Matthew 13:57-58
And the people refused to accept Jesus. But Jesus said to the people, "Other people give honor to a prophet. But people in that prophet's own town or own home don't give honor to him." The people there did not believe in Jesus. So Jesus did not do many miracles there. (ERV)
Key Thought
Jesus is all powerful, but we can limit his power by our lack of expectation, by our wimpy faith! His work is hidden, sometimes even denied, to those who refuse t…

"If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land."
2 Chronicles 7:14, New International Version
In today's Scripture, which occurs immediately after the dedication of the Temple, God told Solomon that the Temple would be a place his people could come and be assured that their prayers would be heard if they honestly and humbly would seek God.…

19 Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger; 20 for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God. 21 Therefore put away all filthiness and rampant wickedness and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.
22 But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. 23 For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks intently at his natural face in a m…

Then Jesus told the people another story: "The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed. A person plants that seed in his field. That seed is one of the smallest of all seeds. But when the seed grows, it is one of the largest garden plants. It becomes a tree, big enough for the birds to come and make nests in its branches." (ERV)
Key Thought
From the selection of King David, God's people had been warned not to judge on mere appearances. We shouldn't be surprised if Jesus' Kingdom would start sma…

"Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?' The King w…

Colossians 3
14 And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony.
15 And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful.
16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God.
17 And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks…

We had a fabulous time at Spirit West Coast yesterday... lovely weather, an incredible stage crew made up mostly of unpaid volunteers, a sound system I'd like to take home with me (even if everybody within a mile would ask me to never use it!), and people in the stands waiting to worship God.
Though I'm no stranger to being in front of a large number of people, I admit it was kinda odd for me: a circumstance where a lot of - if not most - people are already believers, but where the intimacy of…

Every second, seven people die.
EVERY. SECOND.
What are we going to do about that? The only thing we can...
Our Savior gives us eternal life FOR FREE. Doesn't cost us a thing to share.
Well, it does sometimes cost us something to share: a person's perceptions about us, our time, our money, emotional involvement, planning... but it is not a cost with a benefit worth ignoring.
Last weekend, at Stand & Be Counted, a man who had held a knife to his throat the evening before, in tha…

This past weekend Jimmy and I (Cate) had the pleasure of playing with Richard Andrew at Stand and Be Counted in Vacaville.
Can I just say: WOW.
What a blessing to be asked to come and share:
Many who lifted their hands to show their desire to be closer to Him
Many who stood, hand-in-hand with their mates, to ask Him to become more of a focus in their marriages.
Many lives dedicated to the Lord, including a man who the evening before had HELD A KNIFE TO HIS OWN THROAT. He pledged himself to…

LIES about HELL...
and the real truth about the Lake of Fire
The wages of sin is death
not eternal life in hell:
IF YOU DIE...You don't BURN forever
If you BURN forever...YOU DON'T DIE
From the Old Testament Hebrew Bible;
Sheol was translated to hell
(a chamber.... cave, tomb, or grave)
When the Hebrew Bible was translated to Greek
Sheol then became hades
(unseen underworld for the dead)
The concept of torment
was not associated with Sheol
by any of the old testament prophets
As Christian…

HOW HARD IS IT GETTING SAVED?
According to the sinners prayer
a person can be saved in about 15 seconds
by saying some specially arranged words
Not so!
Not true!!
Getting Saved is the hardest most difficult thing
anyone will ever have to go through in their entire lifetime
Being saved is a lifetime process!!
Just as we are in a lifetime process
of being made into the image of God-
Both are on-going processes!!
Many times people take
individual texts out of the Bible to back this error
I…

REPENTANCE ... as I see it
When the sun is shining-
there is light and it is warm and dry
When the sun goes down
it gets darker, colder
and towards the morning
the earth become damp with dew
Would it then;
be true to say:
The sun is the cause
of darkness cold and dampness?
This may sound right-
but it is not correct
The sun did not cause these things
These thing are automatically there
It is when the sun comes up;
that these things are taken away
Those things were already there
and it i…

JUDGMENT BY FIRE MUST BEGIN AT THE HOUSE OF GOD
Acts 17:31
Because He hath appointed A DAY, in which
He will JUDGE THE WORLD(Greek-inhabited earth)
in righteousness
Before God brings this final judgment
on the entirety of the world,
he must first perform another judgment
on another group of people...
This judgment is going on right now,
yet many are not even aware of it
JUDGMENT BY FIRE
MUST BEGIN AT THE HOUSE OF GOD
1Pet 4:16-17
Yet if any man suffer as a Christian,
let him not be ashamed;…

T or F...GOD created "EVIL" and the "WASTER" to destroy?
Elohim is:
Sovereign-
He is the supreme authority in total control of all things.
Omnipresent-
He is present everywhere always.
Omnipotent-
His power is unlimited;
He can do whatever he wills,
whenever he wills; and his will...will be done always.
Omniscient-
He knows all things
which can be known; past present and future.
Elohim is:
the supreme authority who is ever present
has unlimited power and knows all things.

THE TRINITY
The Trinity as defined by
Hastings Dictionary of the Bible Page 1015:
The Christian doctrine of God
as existing in three Persons and one Substance
is not demonstrable by logic or scriptual proof
Regardless, those that believe in and teach the Trinity
believe that it is, "...a necessary "hypothesis"
that there are three persons to the Godhead:
God the Father
The Holy Ghost (Spirit)
Jesus Christ the Son of God
Hypothesis as defined by Webster's Dictionary:
A system or theory ima…

Matthew 28:20
It is well there is One who is ever the same, and who is ever with us. It is well there is one stable rock amidst the billows of the sea of life.
O my soul, set not thine affections upon rusting, moth-eaten, decaying treasures, but set thine heart upon him who abides for ever faithful to thee.
Build not thine house upon the moving quicksands of a deceitful world, but found thy hopes upon this rock, which, amid descending rain and roaring floods, shall stand immovably secure.
