I AM AN 80 YEAR OLD MALE, BORN AGAIN, CHRISTIAN WITH A LOVE FOR JESUS. I DO NOT GET OUT MUCH ANYMORE BUT FIND THAT TELLING PEOPLE ABOUT THE LOVE JESUS HAS FOR THEM IS NOT ONLY WHAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DO BUT SOMETHING THAT THE WORLD NEEDS.

I LOVE READING JOHN 14:27 BECAUSE JESUS IS NOT ONLY TELLING HIS DISCIPLES THESE THINGS BUT US ALSO. "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." I SAY THIS BECAUSE ACTS 10:34 SAYS "Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons." IF HE MEANT IT FOR THEM, HE SURELY MEANS IT FOR US TODAY.
Jesus took an apparent contradiction in scripture and through combining these paradoxical statements (concerning the humanity and deity of Christ) brought forth the truth that Christ is God in human flesh. Both assertions (the fact that Jesus was David's son and yet David's Lord) were right at the same time.
It was correct that Christ was David's son and it was also correct that Christ was David's Lord. This meant that Christ also was God. However, Christ was not exclusively David's son nor was He exclusively David's Lord. These two truths had to be combined to arrive at the whole truth. No truth of God's Word stands independent of the other truths in God's Word.
A lack of balancing truth with truth is usually the cause of much contention among men when interpreting scriptures. Some argue...
I JUST LOVE PROVERBS AND THERE ARE TWO PASSAGES I WOULD LIKE TO COPY BELOW FOR YOU TO READ AND ENJOY. THERE IS A GREAT MEANING IN EACH ONE OF THESE AND WE SHOULD ALL TRY TO FOLLOW WHAT THEY ARE SAYING. THERE ARE PROMISES WITH EACH ONE OF THEM AND IT WOULD BE GREAT FOR US TO MEMORIZE AND SAY EVERY DAY TO ENCOURAGE OURSELVES..
PROVERBS 4:20-22 My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.
PROVERBS 3:1-6 My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments:
Jesus repeatedly made reference to His deity for which the Jews had sought to kill Him, and yet He quotes from Deuteronomy 6:4, that "The Lord our God is one Lord." There are not two or three Gods and yet Jesus claimed to be God just like God the Father. This union is a great mystery that defies human understanding but can be accepted and believed.
Jesus in His pre-existent state was in the form of God. "In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." Jesus is God manifested in the flesh (1 Tim. 3:16). However, Jesus did not demand or cling to His rights as God. He laid aside His Divine rights and privileges in order to take the form of a servant and be made in the likeness of man. He further humbled Himself by...
ARE YOU SO STRESSED THAT YOU HAVE TO TAKE A PILL TO GET YOU THROUGH THE DAY? I HAVE A BETTER PILL FOR YOU TO TAKE AND IT IS CALLED THE "GOD-PILL:....GET IT..."GOSPEL". THERE ARE SO MANY SCRIPTURES IN THE BIBLE TO TAKE CARE OF ALL OUR PROBLEMS IF WE WOULD JUST READ THEM AND HAVE FAITH TO BELIEVE THEM. SOME OF YOU WILL BELIEVE IT IS FOR OTHERS BUT NOT FOR YOU. I WOULD LIKE TO REMIND YOU OF ACTS 10:34 WHERE PETER TELL US THAT "God is no respecter of persons." WHAT HE WILL DO FOR ONE, HE WILL DO FOR ALL.
LOOK WHAT PETER TELLS US IN 2ND PETER 1:4 WHERE HE SAYS "Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust." TO ESCAPE THE CORRUPTION THAT IS IN THE WORLD WE NEED TO RENEW OUR MINDS. THE BIBLE SAYS IN 1ST...
IF YOU PUT FOOD IN YOUR MOUTH AND IT IS BAD AND DOESN'T TASTE GOOD, WHAT DO YOU DO? YOU WOULD PROBABLY SPIT IT OUT AND NOT SWALLOW IT....RIGHT? I KNOW I WOULD. THIS IS WHAT WE NEED TO DO WHEN SATAN PUTS AN EVIL THOUGHT IN OUR MINDS. WE NEED TO GET RID OF IT JUST LIKE WE DID THE FOOD. SATAN WILL TEMPT US IN MANY WAYS AND WILL DO IT SO SNEAKY THAT IT WILL CATCH US OFF GUARD. FOR INSTANCE, HAVE YOU EVER GOT AN EMAIL FROM SOMEONE YOU KNEW AND WHEN YOU OPENED IT THERE WERE PORNOGRAPHIC PICTURES IN IT? I HAVE AND I REALLY DIDN'T WANT TO SEE SOMETHING LIKE THAT BUT IT WAS TOO LATE. IF WE ARE NOT CAREFUL, OUR MINDS, ESPECIALLY MEN, WILL START THINKING ON THOSE PICTURES AND SOMETIMES IT WILL TURN INTO LUST AND IF IT DOES THEN IT IS SIN AND SATAN HAS WON.
Jesus revealed that all of the Old Testament laws were designed to instruct us how to love God and love others. Therefore, the two commands that dealt directly with loving God and others (Lev. 19:18 and Dt. 6:5) were the most important.
The religious leaders had become so obsessed with keeping every minor detail of the law that they had lost sight of its ultimate purpose. They neither loved God nor their fellow man, yet they thought they were keeping the law.
The same thing is happening today. Some of the cruelest acts of men towards their fellow men have...
It is very doubtful that the situation that the Sadducees were relating ever took place. It is more probable that they were stating a hypothetical case to complicate the understanding of the resurrection and thereby discredit it.
If you accept their basic supposition (marriage continues in heaven), then their reasoning was correct. It would not be possible to administer marriage in heaven with multiple mates as their story described. Their reasoning wasn't flawed, but rather the "facts" that their reasoning was based on were not scriptural.
The scriptures speak of two becoming "one flesh" in marriage, and angels are not flesh. Paul said, "Flesh and blood cannot...
MY MESSAGE IS GOING TO BE A LITTLE DIFFERENT THIS MORNING. I AM GOING TO COPY A STORY FOR YOU AND I WISH I KNEW WHERE IT CAME FROM SO I COULD GIVE CREDIT TO THAT PERSON. IT WILL NOT ONLY MAKE YOU LOOK AT YOUR HANDS IN A DIFFERENT LIGHT BUT YOUR LIFE ALSO. I KNOW I WILL NEVER LOOK AT MY HANDS THE SAME WAY AS I HAVE IN THE PAST. I HOPE YOU WILL ENJOY IT.
Grandpa, some ninety plus years, sat feebly on the patio bench. He didn't move, just sat with his head down staring at his hands. When I sat down beside him he didn't acknowledge my presence and the longer I sat, I wondered if he was OK. Finally, not really wanting to disturb him but wanting to check on him at the same time, I asked him if he was OK.
He raised his head and looked at me and smiled. "Yes, I'm fine. Thank you for asking," he said in a clear...
