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.

I AM SURE YOU HAVE HEARD THE PHRASE "STICKS AND STONES CAN BREAK MY BONES BUT WORDS CAN NEVER HURT ME". THAT IS SO WRONG IN SO MANY WAYS. HAS YOUR CHILD, OR EVEN A "SO CALLED" FRIEND, EVER TOLD YOU THAT THEY HATED YOU? DIDN'T THAT HURT? I KNOW I HAVE SAID THINGS TO PEOPLE THAT I WISHED THAT I COULD HAVE TAKEN BACK BECAUSE I KNEW I HAD HURT THEM. FOR THIS REASON I STARTED CAREFULLY WATCHING WHAT I SAID TO PEOPLE. I JUST WISHED I HAD LEARNED TO DO THIS A LITTLE SOONER IN MY LIFE.
No Denial Of Deity
July 20th
John 10:34 'Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?'
JOHN 10:30-39
Some people have tried to interpret this scripture to say that Jesus was disclaiming deity by associating Himself with the gods spoken of in Psalm 82:6. However, Jesus is not saying that He is a god only in the sense that the scriptures,
MOST OF YOU KNOW MY STORY AS I HAVE TOLD IT A COUPLE OF TIMES BEFORE BUT FOR THOSE WHO HAVE NOT HEARD IT, I HOPE IT WILL HELP BUILD YOUR FAITH. DON'T TAKE GOD'S PROMISES LIGHTLY. THIS IS HOW GOD KEPT HIS PROMISE TO ME.
God's Great Love For Us
July 19th
John 10:25 'Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me.'
JOHN 10:24-25
There were many ways in which Jesus already revealed who He was. His miraculous works certainly revealed who He was. Jesus had also clearly revealed that He was the Christ, both in the synagogue at His hometown of Nazareth, and when speaking to the Samaritan woman at Jacob's well.
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' (Jn. 1:1).
Jesus was God, manifest in the flesh (1 Tim. 3:16). However, Jesus did not demand or...
We Must Receive

Luke 13:16 'And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the Sabbath day?'
LUKE 13:10-17
This sickness was the work of Satan - not the work of God. Jesus said it had bound her - not blessed her - for eighteen years. The teaching that says that sickness is actually a blessing in disguise, because the Lord is working His plan in one's life, is not found in scripture. As Acts 10:38 says, Jesus 'went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil,' not 'oppressed of God.'
There are 17 times in the Gospels when Jesus healed all of the sick that were present. There are 47...
HOW IS YOUR PRAYER LIFE THESE DAYS? I HAVE TALKED ABOUT THIS BEFORE BUT WE SOMETIMES FORGET THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS ABOUT OUR PRAYERS. I KNOW JESUS TELLS US IN MATTHEW 7:7 TO "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you." ALL OF OUR PRAYERS ARE ANSWERED IF WE JUST ASK ACCORDING TO GOD'S WILL. HOWEVER, IT IS NOT SO CUT AND DRY AS THIS VERSE MAKES IT OUT TO BE. THE VERSE IS TRUE BECAUSE JESUS SAID IT BUT IT IS NOT A BLANK CHECK TO JUST GET WHATEVER YOU WANT AS SOME PEOPLE THINK. THERE ARE THINGS WE HAVE TO DO.
Avoid Strife
July 17th
Luke 12:58 'When thou goest with thine adversary to the magistrate, as thou art in the way, give diligence that thou mayest be delivered from him; lest he hale thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and the officer cast thee into prison.'
LUKE 12:56-59
Jesus had just spoken about relationships before He gave this parable of delivering ourselves from the judge. The warning is clear that we should do everything within our power to avoid strife (Rom. 12:18). However, the consequences of failing to settle the differences are more than just physical prison or punishment.
Strife can produce spiritual and emotional prisons. James 3:16 says, 'where envying and...
