Hear Him What do you want to hear? Most times, we only hear what we want to hear. We tune off from things we don’t want to hear or pretend we are listening. If we are followers of Christ, we do not have a choice in what we hear. We must hear Jesus, loud and clear. I love Peter, he is always our test case and we learn so much from his mistakes. Growth is not absence of mistakes but learning from your mistakes and those of others. Peter again tries to hold Jesus ransom by his preconceived ideas of who Jesus is and what He should be doing. We are still doing the same today. My opinion and yours does not change who God our Father, His Son Jesus Christ and His Holy Spirit is. God will remain forever God and in control and in charge of the world He created. No liberal or conservative thinking or ideology can change that. Peter says, “Lord, it is good for us to be here; if You wish, let us[a] make here three tabernacles: one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” This he said du...

Take up Your Cross and Follow Me Oh we must count the cost before we can follow Jesus. There is always a cost. This past week, we mourn and celebrate the life of our brother in Christ Nabeel Qureshi who is now with Jesus. He died on September 16, 2017 at a young age of 34. God lifted our brother from the kingdom of darkness (from his Muslim background) to his kingdom of light in Christ Jesus. The same He did for each of us who have trusted Jesus as Lord and savior. Nabeel counted the high cost and followed Jesus. Read one of Nabeel's books, “Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus” which God has used to bring many to faith in Christ. Check out his life and works on the web and just google his name. You will be encouraged by his short life and will be quickened without further delay to do whatever God has put in your hands to do for Jesus. May the Lord comfort his wife Michelle and daughter Ayah and his parents and sister. Within a matter of minutes, how can you go from receiving the gre...

But Who Do You Say I am? The world has many impressions of Jesus. We have many ideas of who Jesus is. But Jesus will ask us today who we think and believe he is. It is the biggest deal- who you say Jesus is to you. The revelation of Jesus you have is a matter of life and death. The disciples conducted a quick sample of the people. Some said he is Elijah, John the Baptist, Jeremiah or one of the prophets. Today people say Jesus was a good teacher and a good person; and that is all they can tolerate. Some like the Jehovah Witnesses (JW) say Jesus is Michael the archangel, thus He is not God and he is a created being. The JW do not believe in the trinity. The Mormons say Jesus is a created being who was filled with the power of God; meaning he is just like any of us humans but he is not God nor recognize Jesus as the “eternal” son of God. For them Jesus is at the same level and equal to Joseph Smith, the propaganda of their cult. That is why the babblings of Joseph Smith (the Boo...
