I tackled this topic because many un-believers mention that the God in the bible is not as we say full of love. They read the old testament and see the violence and judgement of God and assume that is all he is. On the other side young believers get hung up on scriptures that depict Christ as a savior, full of love and favor for us all. Then are unable to reconcile some scriptures that say he has come to bring division among families. There are two scripture sets in particular that I want to address in the blog because…

Matthew chapter ten is a very revelation packed chapter. There is so much in there, that you can branch off into many topics. In this post I want to focus on the transition from Disciple to Apostle. Notice in the first verse the twelve were referred to as disciples, but when he gave them power they were referred to as apostles. What was it that Christ saw, to make him refer to them differently? Technically the meaning of disciple is different from apostle; Disciple: A follower or pupil of a teacher, leader, or philosopher. Latin word is “discrete” which means…

In my studies I could not get past this question asked by Jesus’s disciples. How could they of all people after seeing Christ perform all the miracles, healings and exorcism still be marvelling as to what kind of man Christ was. Were they still not seeing Christ as not just a mere man but the Son of God? The entire verse is as follows; Matthew 8 : 27 ” But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him! I believe this verse and the verses after explain why Christ…

If you ask any everyday Christian the question posed in the title of this article, the typical answer would most likely be; ” I need to know that Christ died for my sins and the sins of the world on Calvary and three days later he rose again by the power of Almighty God. His sacrifice and shed blood has made salvation from sin available, once we accept and believe in Christ Jesus as our Lord and Savior. His sacrifice reconnected us to God through Christ’s righteousness which rest upon us“. They may not say it in those words but…

Do you know that in science the energy of a rock is determined by its postion? A rock can be considered static with no potentional for energy or it can be considered to have a high potential for exerting energy that can create work, if you change its position. In my previous study we addressed Identity. Who we truly are in Christ and why the devil has to attack our identity.  Our defensive and offensive strategy against the tactics of the devil were adopted from Christ and his retaliation in the wilderness. Now I would like to address our ‘Postion‘…

I know the title of this post probably caught the eye of some who are engrossed with the political scene, in relation to radical and extreme muslim terrorists. As important as that topic is to discuss, I believe to Christians the true terrorist is our ‘FLESH’.  What else in our life here on earth has assisted more in attacking our relationship with God, attempted to destroy our aspirations to fulfill the Lord’s will for our lives and relentlessly tries to drag us back to a life of sin. Don’t believe me? Then read the following verses from the bible; Apostle…

Luke Chap:9 Verse 23 – 25 23. Then he said to them all, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow Me. 24. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will save it. 25. For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world and is himself destroyed. If you read the following verses you will see the same sentiment mentioned ( Luke 17:33, Matthew 10: 37 – 39 and John 12:25). Our lives…

What does it mean to follow Christ? What does it mean to follow God? Today many Christians describe themselves as followers of Christ, but are they really followers based on the bible’s interpretation? Have we taken the phrase ‘Follower of Christ’ and relegated it to a tag line, # Follower of Christ. The dictionary definition of the word follow; The word follow is an active verb. To go or come after a person or thing proceeding ahead. To move or travel behind. To go after someone in order to observe or monitor. To happen after something else as a consequence.…

This post originated from my daily study, where I began reading Matthew Chapter 18 Verse 3. 3.Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven. 4.Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. 5.Whoever receives on little child like this in My name receives Me. In verse three it appears Chirst is saying we need to revert to some child like characteristics in order to position ourselves to receive and enter the Kingdom of God. Now before…
