Do you Love Me More than These? Each of us has some form of Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD). When it is sever and mostly in children, then you can add the H – Hyper In-attentive or Active (ADHD). No wonder the most popular drug for American school children is Ritalin (more than 2 million prescriptions per year). Like children, like adults. I am not a doctor but you can check the facts and life stories around us. Jesus was the great physician to make the diagnosis in Peter, the apostle. First he was very hyper active (walked on water, cut off someone’s ear, etc.). Eventually, Peter manifested the deficit to attention. In his last encounter with Jesus, the Risen Lord and Savior, Peter is told the truth – you have lost focus. Read with me as Apostle John records this encounter. Have you lost focus and attention to God’s calls? John 21 21 Afterward Jesus appeared again to his disciples, by the Sea of Galilee.[a] It happened this way: 2 Simon Peter, Thomas (also known as Didymus[b

Our Doubts and Unbelief You are probably saying, “Why is he blogging about doubt instead of faith which we all need”. I say, why not “doubts”? Have you ever doubted yourself? I have. If I can doubt myself, what about doubting God whom I cannot even see? I have doubted God too and still doubt Him when my mind wanders off. Other people’s experience cannot stop our doubt of God.

Let’s read of Thomas’ encounter after Jesus rose from dead as recorded by Apostle John. 18 Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken these things unto her. 19 Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you. 20 And when he had so said, he shewed unto them his hands and his side. Then were the disciples glad, when they saw th

Christ Had to Rise from the Dead In accounting, a transaction is not completely recorded if the debits and credits are not in balance. In the ultimate transaction that was conceived by God before the world began, Christ had to die. But if it had ended just in his death only, it would not have been a complete transaction and would be no different from all other deaths. Why did Christ have to rise from the dead? Let’s study together. Here is a summary of the resurrection account as recorded by Apostle John. Now on the first day of the week Mary Magdalene went to the tomb early, while it was still dark, and saw that the stone had been taken away from the tomb. 2 Then she ran and came to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and said to them, “They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid Him.” 3 Peter therefore went out, and the other disciple, and were going to the tomb. 4 So they both ran together, and the other discip
