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.

ARE YOUR PARENTS STILL ALIVE? WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU TALKED WITH THEM? ARE YOU NOT TALKING TO THEM FOR A REASON? AT LEAST YOU STILL HAVE THEM HERE ON EARTH SO YOU CAN TALK WITH THEM. DO YOU EVEN REMEMBER WHY YOU STOPPED TALKING WITH THEM? WELL, IT IS ABOUT TIME YOU STRAIGHTENED THINGS OUT. YOU MIGHT THINK YOU DON'T HAVE ENOUGH TIME IN YOUR LIFE TO SPEND WITH THEM BUT WHEN THEY ARE GONE, BELIEVE ME, YOU WILL REGRET IT. THEY NEED YOU NOW MORE THAN EVER.
The Heart Matters
June 10th
John 7:22 'Moses therefore gave unto you circumcision; (not because it is of Moses, but of the fathers
and ye on the sabbath day circumcise a man.'
JOHN 7:21-24
The covenant of circumcision was given to Abram in Gen. 17:9-14. In v. 14, the Lord said that any man who did not carry this sign of the covenant in his flesh was to be killed. This placed a great importance on the act of circumcision. Paul says in Rom. 4:3-13, that Abraham had already been justified by faith before he was circumcised. It was Abram's faith that saved him at least 13 years before the Lord...
HAS YOUR PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS GROWN COLD OVER THE MONTHS OR YEARS SINCE YOU RECEIVED HE AS YOUR SAVIOR? YOU KNOW YOU STILL LOVE HIM AS MUCH BUT DON'T FEEL AS CLOSE AS YOU ONCE DID? WELL, JESUS SAYS IN MATTHEW 24:12 "BECAUSE INIQUITY SHALL ABOUND, THE LOVE OF MANY SHALL WAX COLD."

John 7:19 'Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law? Why go ye about to kill me?'
JOHN 7:16-19
These Jews prided themselves on their observance of the law, but they were keeping the letter of the law and missing its true intent. The greatest of all the Old Testament laws was to love God and then to love your neighbor as yourself. The Jews were violating these laws by having hatred in their hearts toward Jesus and wanting to kill Him. They denied that they desired to kill Him, but the scriptures declare that they had already plotted or tried to kill Him three times.
They also knew much about God. It was required of the Jewish men to memorize large...
HAVE YOU EVER HEARD SOMEONE SAY THAT THEY ARE HEALED WHEN YOU THINK THAT THEY ARE NOT? I AM ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE. I HAVE HAD PEOPLE ASK ME HOW I CAN SAY THIS. I HAVE TRIED TO EXPLAIN TO THEM THAT I HAVE FAITH TO BELIEVE WHAT JESUS SAYS. I KNOW MY BODY DOES NOT ACT LIKE I AM HEALED AND I KNOW THE DOCTORS SAY THAT I AM NOT HEALED, HOWEVER, JESUS SAYS THAT I AM. WHO AM I GOING TO BELIEVE. JESUS HAS NEVER LIED TO ME AND THE BIBLE SAYS THAT HE CANNOT LIE.
Holy Ghost Teacher
June 8th
John 7:15 'And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned?'
JOHN 7:14-15
Jesus received His wisdom and knowledge by direct revelation from the Spirit of God rather than by the teachings of man. Jesus had been learning, but not through man. The Holy Ghost was His teacher. Jesus had to be taught the things of God. This looks contrary to Colossians 2:3, which says that all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden in Jesus. If Jesus was God manifest in the flesh, why would He have to learn or be taught?
The harmony between these apparently opposite statements is that Jesus' spirit man was 100% God and had all of the wisdom and...
HAVE YOU EVER REALLY THOUGHT ABOUT JESUS' NAME? NOT JESUS HIMSELF, BUT JUST HIS NAME AND WHAT POWER IT CARRIES. LOOK WHAT IT SAYS ABOUT HIS NAME IN PHILIPPIANS 2:9-11 "Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."
Limitless Forgiveness
June 7th
Matthew 18:33 'Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee?'
MATTHEW 18: 21-35
Peter thought he was being very generous by offering to forgive his brother seven times in one day, but Jesus said he should forgive him 490 times in one day. It would be impossible to have someone sin against you 490 times in one day. Jesus is actually saying that there should be no limit to our forgiveness.
When we are offended or hurt, we often feel justified in holding a grudge. The Old Testament law expressed this when it stated, 'Eye for eye, tooth for tooth' (Ex. 21:23-25). Until the offense was paid, we did not feel free to forgive....
