WHEN I WAS WATCHING THE FOOTBALL GAME LAST WEEKEND AND THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT THE WALTER PAYTON NFL MAN OF THE YEAR AWARD. ONE OF THE MEN SAID HE HAD TALK WITH WALTER BEFORE HE DIED IN 1999 AND ASK HIM IF HE WAS AFRAID. HE SAID THAT WALTER SAID "SURE I AM SCARED. I'VE NEVER DIED BEFORE". I GOT TO THINKING ABOUT THIS AND THE STORY CAME TO MIND ABOUT THE DOG IN THE VET'S OFFICE. JUST THEN, MY WIFE CAME OUT OF HER BEDROOM AND OUR TWO DOGS WERE SO HAPPY THEY COULDN'T KEEP STILL. THEY BOTH KNEW THAT SHE WAS IN THERE AND I KNOW THAT IF I HAD OPENED HER DOOR, THEY WOULD HAVE RUSHED IN WITHOUT HESITATION. THIS TO ME IS WHAT DEATH WILL BE LIKE. I KNOW MY MASTER IS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF DEATH AND I WILL RUSH IN WITHOUT HESITATION. NO BORN AGAIN CHRISTIAN SHOULD BE AFRAID OF...
Luke 2:52, "And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man."
How could it be that Jesus, who was God (Jn. 1:1; 1 Tim. 3:16), and in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge, increased in wisdom? (Col. 2:3)

Satan was the real motivator of Herod's actions. Ever since the Lord...
DO YOU BELIEVE IN THE POWER OF PRAYER? IF YOU DO, BE CAREFUL IF YOU ASK SOMEONE TO PRAY FOR YOU. BE SURE THAT THEY ARE NOT PRAYING IN UNBELIEF. THAT MIGHT SOUND STRANGE BUT THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT SAY THEY WILL PRAY FOR YOU AND THEY ARE NOT EVEN BORN AGAIN. THEY JUST THINK IT SOUNDS GOOD OR LOOKS GOOD ON FACEBOOK BUT SINCE THEY ARE...
HAVE YOU EVER TALKED WITH SOMEONE WHO SAID THEY WERE AN AGNOSTIC? I HAVE AND I SERIOUSLY DOUBT IF SOME OF THEM EVEN KNOW WHAT THE WORD MEANS. THE DICTIONARY SAYS IT IS "ONE WHO IS SKEPTICAL ABOUT THE EXISTENCE OF GOD BUT DOES NOT PROFESS TRUE ATHEISM". SOME OF THEM EVEN SAY...
Mt. 2:13, "...for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him."
Herod had ruled over Judaea for nearly forty three years at the time of these events. He had the title of King conferred on him by the Roman senate at the recommendation of Antony and Octavius. His accomplishments included the building of the temple in Jerusalem which was one of the most...
Matthew 2:1, "Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem."
How could this be? The greatest event in the history of God's dealings with mankind was taking place and the leaders of God's people didn't even know about it. Foreigners who were unfamiliar with the covenants of God...
