Abundant Life in Jesus - Study 5/23/13

Abundant Life in Jesus We have just witnessed in the natural sense an example of what Jesus spoke in John 10:10. On Monday May 20th, tornado touched down in Oklahoma with up to 300 mph wind, 1.5 mile wide and 17 miles stretch of destruction flattening everything on its path. The destruction is unimaginable from the photos and thank God many survived. So far 24 are listed dead (including 9 children). We pray God’s comfort for these families that have lost loved ones and have no place to live. John 10:9-10 says, “I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly”. This is one of the most misquoted and misapplied verse and word of Jesus. In the natural, we see the lives lost and the destruction in Oklahoma. A man interviewed had just moved into a brand new house 8 days ago and right now th...

I was blind, now I see - Study 5/15/13

I was blind, now I see This is our story if you believe in Jesus. Who can argue with a blind man who now sees for the first time and previously had been blind from birth for 38 years? It seems obvious that there will be no question or doubt about whether the man was blind and can now see. Well some people doubted then and still doubt even today. Was he really blind in the first place and does he really see now and who made the blind see again? Unbelief in God is spiritual blindness and it will make you not see anything that is from God and of God. I was amazed to notice that Apostle John used the word “believe” 98 times in the gospel of John. There is only one outcome from studying the Gospel of John and in fact the entire Bible - to believe and put our trust in God. There is no other way to relate to God except to believe in Him. John 20: 31 and John 1:7 In this chapter 9 of John, we encounter Jesus’ love for us typified in the healing of the blind man. This is a very sweet stor...

Who is Your Father? - Study 5/6/13

Who is Your Father? We live in a day when lying is no longer a big deal. We have now other words for it. Political correctness is the reign of the day. Presidents, politicians, ordinary people no longer tell people and one another the truth in an effort not to offend and be all inclusive, accommodating and tolerant. On the surface, it all sounds nice but the foundation is lies from the father of lies – Satan. Armstrong, the “dethroned” world champion cyclist lied for years about his use of steroids and other enhancing drugs that gave him advantage to compete and win. The lies have finally caught up with him. Look at some statistics from a Newsweek Study (DatabaseRecords.com, 9-14-2012: “Percent of adults who admit to telling lies "sometimes" or "often"- 12%; Percent of people who lie at least once during a 10-minute conversation- 60%; Percent of people who admit to lying on their resumes – 31%”. There is more in the study and you can check it out. This world...
