The Cup That the Father Gives

A very dear friend of the family just sent us word on his current situation of health.  This person has been an inspiration to me towards spiritual growth all my life and has been to me like a second earthy father.  He is not overly advanced in years but is suffering a terminal illness.  His...

Jesus´ Call II (John 14)

One can only wonder at the magnitude and depth of the words Jesus uses in John 14:10-11.  Some truths are so wonderful that we may have to wait until we are face to face with our Savior and He can increase our understanding.  In the meanwhile, we do not have to neglect these deeper truths...

Jesus´ Call (John 14)

It seems nothing short of astonishing, that we run around like busy little ants each one bent intently on their own little missions and tasks, all the while not letting the words and teachings of Jesus to sink down below the shallow surface and to their true meanings. Perhaps we are witnessing a deceit so... Continue Reading →

Heaven and the Home of our Dreams

When you have had the privilege to have attended or been a part of several different denominational churches, you can learn much about the current state of religion.  Each one of these has its positive emphasis on the Holy Trinity and each with its shortcomings.  From the teachings and instruction given by these organizations and...

The Supernatural

Perhaps one of the touchiest subjects within the body of believers today is the one about the supernatural.  Just where do we draw the line.  We teach our kids not to be scared of monsters and ghosts saying that they do not exist.  We may brush off a sci-fi film or horror film with the...

John uses the words that Isaiah had... Continue Reading →

The Significance in the Life of Christ

One thing which we all seem to get caught up in when remembering the life of Christ, is to celebrate the wonder and significance of the moment.  This can be and is a very admirable thing to do indeed; however, what we do not always do is celebrate what Christ did as being something of...

You Will See God´s Glory

Jesus said to her ¨Did I not tell you that if you believed you should see God´s glory? ¨ John 11:40 As usually the case Jesus exposes human propensity to bring all things down to our level and our understanding.  We walk here on earth as if God and His kingdom do not exist.  To...

John 11:25-26 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life; he that believeth on me, though he die, yet he shall live, and whosoever liveth and believeth on me shall never die. Believest thou this?

What a power packed text!  There is enough good hearty instruction here to set souls free and deliver them again into the hand of the One to whom we belong.  Long I have felt the importance and seen the beauty of this text.  But today I stopped while reading over it.  So many of the...

John 11:4 ¨This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God is glorified thereby. (American Standard Version)

True to the usual way of Jesus, when He spoke, the words addressed a common situation.  As we see continually throughout the Bible, men and women look with earthly eyes at the passing scenes and take always the physical and the common interpretations of those moments.  However Jesus was constantly trying to tell us and...
