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.

THIS WEEKEND I SIGNED UP FOR A FREE ONLINE COURSE ON THE BOOK OF REVELATION TAUGHT BY JACOB BECK OF THE DALLAS THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY. I THOUGHT I WOULD TAKE IT BECAUSE REVELATION HAS ALWAYS BEEN HARD FOR ME TO UNDERSTAND SO I THOUGHT I COULD LEARN SOMETHING. THIS GOT ME THINKING ABOUT REVELATION SO I DECIDED TO START READING IT AGAIN. IN READING IT, I CAME ACROSS A VERY INTERESTING FEW VERSES IN CHAPTER 21 AND IF YOU REALLY WANT TO FEEL GOOD, JUST READ IT. VERSES 3 AND 4 READS AS FOLLOWS, "And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there...

Luke 12:48 'But he that knew not, and did
LUKE 12:45-48
This verse is one of the clearest references in scripture about varying degrees of God's judgment according to the knowledge of the
Stewards Of God's Grace
July 15th
Luke 12:42 'And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his Lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in due season?'
LUKE 12:42
A steward is a person who has been entrusted with administering someone else's wealth or affairs. The possessions a steward controls are not his own and he does not have the freedom to do with them as he wishes. He is supposed to carry out the desires of the one who made him steward.
A banker is a steward. He has been entrusted with other people's money. He is free to invest that money wisely in a way that will benefit his depositors and stockholders, but would be sent to jail if...
The Goodness Of God
July 14th
Luke 12:5 'But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.'
LUKE 12:4-5
Second Timothy 1:7 says, 'God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.' First John 4:18 says, 'There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.' These scriptures may look like they are contradictions to Jesus' statement here; however, they are not.
There are two kinds of fear. The American Heritage Dictionary defines fear as 'a feeling of alarm or disquiet caused by the...
FACEBOOK BROUGHT THIS MESSAGE UP AS ONE OF MY MEMORIES AND IT GOT ME TO THINKING. WAS I REALLY READY? AS FAR AS GOING TO HEAVEN, I HAVE NO DOUBTS, BUT, HAVE I DONE ALL I CAN FOR JESUS? I HAVE DECIDED TO SPEND MORE OF MY TIME IN TELLING MORE PEOPLE ABOUT THE LOVE HE HAS FOR ALL OF US AND SPENDING MORE TIME WITH HIM. I WOULD LOVE TO BE SPENDING TIME WITH HIM AS HE IS COMING FOR US ALL.
Hypocrisy Is.....
July 13th
Luke 12:1 'In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.'
LUKE 12:1-3
This is the biblical definition of a hypocrite, 'someone whose words and heart (actions) don't agree.' A hypocrite may act the part of a Christian or talk like Christ, but he or she won't do both. Hypocrisy is defined by the dictionary as, 'The feigning of beliefs, feelings, or virtues that one does not hold or possess; insincerity' (American Heritage Dictionary). In the Greek, the word is 'hupokrisis' and means...
