Not you? If you are a born again Christian then, yes you are sent. Read again the Great Commission [Matthew 28]. We have work to do. Equally important is: “ But how will people call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how will they believe in Him of whom they have not […]
My goodness… I didn’t realize that I was sooo performance based! No, not in relation to others, as a basis of comparison – just in terms of me. And while some of you who are more familiar with me, I suspect this comes as no great shock. Was it my family? my friends? my standard?
I got to thinking… what did WE expect when we accepted the Lordship of Jesus? Did we expect that everything in our lives would ‘suddenly’ be…stressless, easier, better (undefined)?

Or are they the average type? [I define ‘average’ as knowing enough scripture and theology to be dangerous.] Will they
I sometimes wonder if we’ve totally misunderstand what witnessing is all about. First of all, it’s not You who saves others – only the Lord can (1 Corinthians 3:6-9). And if you respond with – ‘I know that!’, then what’s the problem about witnessing to others who the Lord is and what He does? In
In my world of words and definitions, these 2 words mean the same thing, the same act… the difference is the audience. Witness: we all know what this is – telling another person about Jesus and who He is in your life. There are always those who seem to do this effortlessly and then others
Wow … a great deal of meat can be found in 1 Corinthians 15! Have you ever studied out the wisdom Paul wrote in this chapter’s letter? One of the first teachings is found in verse 3, MSG: “…of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to [that which]
