Blessing in the testing produces patience in the person If we don’t see the blessing in the testing, we’ll be a seeker that is weaker

John 8:12 Jesus spoke… saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.” Real or imagined, the walls seem to be closing in on us.  The idea of winter’s “cabin fever” is looking pretty good right now.  Here we are, stuck […]

Peace… Goodwill… to all men.  A testimony of Christ and what it means to the world given to us by the angels at His birth.  But these days, 2,000 years later, peace seems awful hard to come by.  The world certainly doesn’t appear to be at peace.  The Middle East, China, Russia, South America, Central […]

Being a father used to mean something. Fathers were the head of the family, the protector, the provider. A family legacy would be protected and if possible handed down to the next generation by the father. Unfortunately, thanks to the entertainment industry, out-of-wedlock pregnancies, men identifying as women, and men now only considered “sperm donors”, […]

On that last Thursday evening, during the last Passover meal of Jesus’ life on earth, He told the Apostles that they were to “do what He did”.  My guess is they were hoping for the ‘walking on water’ thing… maybe multiply some loaves and fishes… definitely turn some water into a nice merlot… healing the […]

Whatever you think about God, He is more. If you think He can heal the pain in your back or neck, He can also heal cancer. If you think God can heal cancer, He can also restore lost limbs. If you believe He can restore lost limbs, He can also raise the dead. If you […]

Jesus walking on water was a miracle. But we have come to understand and expect that Jesus will do the miraculous. He is, after all, the Son of God. But Peter walking on water? What? He’s like us. He’s a normal guy with normal problems and normal fears. How is it that he ends up […]
