THE MORE I LISTEN TO THE NEWS MEDIA, THE MORE I WANT TO WRITE ON THIS SUBJECT. WHAT DO YOU THINK WHEN YOU ARE WALKING DOWN THE STREET AT NIGHT AND SEE A BUNCH OF YOUNG KIDS COMING IN YOUR DIRECTION? IT IS A SHAME BUT WE USUALLY WANT TO CROSS THE STREET. WHY IS THIS? I THINK IT IS BECAUSE WE IMMEDIATELY THINK THEY ARE UP TO NO GOOD? THIS IS ALL WE HEAR ON THE RADIO AND SEE ON TV. ALL YOU EVER SEE IS HOW THE GANGS ARE ROAMING THE STREETS AND DOING BAD THINGS. DON'T THEY KNOW THERE ARE GOOD GANGS OF KIDS OUT THERE IN THE STREETS DOING GOOD THINGS?
Our Life Is Not Our Own
Luke 22:49 'When they which were about him saw what would follow, they said unto him, Lord, shall we smite with the sword?'
The Lordship of Jesus is one of the central themes of scripture. It is clear that many times the word 'Lord,' when referring to Jesus, is equivalent to the divine name 'Yahweh' or 'Jehovah.' To acknowledge Jesus as Lord is to acknowledge His deity (Jn. 20:28).
What it means to give Jesus Lordship in our lives, is to recognize His right to rule in our lives, by right of creation (Jn. 1:3) and right of redemption.
'For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's' (1...

DID YOU KNOW THAT WHEN YOU ACCEPTED JESUS AS YOUR SAVIOR YOU BECAME A NEW CREATURE? WHEN I WAS JUST A NEW CHRISTIAN, IF SOMEONE HAD TOLD ME THAT, I WOULD HAVE TOLD THEM THEY WERE CRAZY. I WAS STILL OVER WEIGHT, NOT GOOD LOOKING AT ALL AND WHEN I TALKED I STILL SOUNDED LIKE A HILLBILLY FROM TENNESSEE, WHICH I WAS.
Learn The Word By Doing It
Matthew 26:55 'In that same hour said Jesus to the multitudes, Are ye come out as against a thief with swords and staves for to take me? I sat daily with you teaching in the temple, and ye laid no hold on me.'
The four gospels refer to Jesus teaching 43 times, preaching 19 times, and preaching and teaching in the same verse, six times. This indicates that Jesus spent twice as much time teaching as He did preaching. Teaching is the basic building block for making disciples. Jesus was making disciples, not just converts.
The Greek word for 'disciple' literally means 'a learner,' and indicates 'learning by endeavor' or what we would call...
Chose To Serve
Matthew 26:51 'And, behold, one of them which were with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high priest's, and smote off his ear.'
In Romans chapter one, Paul calls himself a servant of Jesus Christ. Out of the six Greek words for 'servant' used in the New Testament, Paul used one of the most slavish terms possible. The word used in this passage is 'doulos' and comes from the root word 'deo' which means 'bind.' Paul literally speaks of himself as a bondman or slave of Jesus Christ - a slave by free choice; yet owned and purchased by Jesus Christ.
The idea of being a love-slave by choice comes from Old Testament...

Receive The Ministry Of The Angels
Luke 22:43 'And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him.'
We have angels assigned to us. Hebrews 1:14 further reveals that their purpose is to minister to us, on our behalf. In the Old Testament, Psalm 91 teaches on the ministry of angels to God's people.
Some people who have realized this truth have taken it as far as to say that we are suppose to speak to our angels and they will obey our commands. There is no instruction in scripture to do this nor is there any example of that being done. We don't have the intelligence to administer all of the angels.
Many of the angels' protective duties described in...
