About
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.

HE WAS BORN A SAVIOR
Luke 2:11, "For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord."
LUKE 2:8-20
Jesus did not grow into being Lord and Saviour. He was born that way. Jesus was God manifest in the flesh (1...
GOD DESIRES FAITH
Luke 2:7, "And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn."
LUKE 2:1-7
What an amazing account! God Almighty was born of...
JOSEPH WAS A MAN OF FAITH
Matthew 1:24, "Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife."
MATTHEW 1:18-24
Much attention is given to Mary and her piety, but Joseph was quite a man of...
I HAVE BEEN ASKED WHY I SAID SIN IS NOT AN ISSUE ANYMORE. I DIDN'T MEAN IT THAT WAY. SIN IS ALWAYS AN ISSUE AND DOES MATTER BECAUSE THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH. "ROMANS 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."
WHAT I WAS REFERRING TO IS THAT JESUS DIED FOR ALL SIN, NOT FOR JUST THE CHRISTIANS, BUT FOR EVERYONE'S SIN AND EVERY SIN THAT WILL EVER BE COMMITTED. "1ST JOHN 2:2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world." HE IS SPEAKING TO BELIEVERS WHEN HE SAYS "NOT FOR OURS ONLY".
ALTHOUGH JESUS DIED FOR ALL SIN, EVEN THE ONES WE HAVE NOT YET COMMITTED, WE STILL NEED TO CONFESS THOSE SINS WHEN WE DO THEM. THE BIBLE SAYS "If we confess our sins, he is faithful to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
I HAVE ALSO BEEN ASKED HOW I CAN SAY THAT HE DIED FOR SINS WE HAVE YET TO COMMIT. WELL, WE HAD BETTER...
DESERT TRAINING
Luke 1:80, "And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, and was in the deserts till the day of his shewing unto Israel."
LUKE 1:57-80
John the Baptist had the most important job assignment ever given to any mortal in the...
STRESS CAN COME IN MANY FORMS, SOME WORSE THAN OTHERS. YOU MIGHT THINK IT IS STRESSFUL WHEN YOU ARE LATE GETTING TO A PARTY OR THE TRAFFIC IS BAD AND YOU ARE RUNNING LATE FOR WORK. WHAT IF YOU HAVE LOST YOUR JOB AND YOU HAVE NO MONEY FOR RENT OR TO BUY FOOD FOR THE KIDS? THERE IS A BIG DIFFERENCE IN THE STRESS LEVELS, RIGHT?
IT CAN GET UGLY BUT, PRAISE GOD, WE HAVE A WAY OUT. MATTHEW 11:28-30 SAYS "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light." AND 1ST PETER 5:6-7 SAYS "Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you."
WE CAN CAST ALL OUR CARE UPON JESUS. DOESN'T THAT SOUND BETTER THAN TRYING TO HANDLE THINGS BY YOURSELVES? JUST ALWAYS...
CHOOSING JOY
Luke 1:46-47, "And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour."
LUKE 1:39-56
Here, Mary makes a very clear distinction between her soul magnifying the Lord and her spirit...
