It is Terminal
We all have known someone who has been given a medical diagnosis of "Terminal". Meaning that a disease this individual has is killing them; and usually there is nothing that can be done for them, except to administer pain medications. It fills minds, hearts, families, and lives with grief, and fear. There are many who …
Prayer, Power and Perseverance
Jesus often taught His disciples, and others with parables. I heard of parables described this way: Parables are earthly stories with heavenly meaning. Jesus had a way of telling a story to bring out the truth of His life, work and ministry; as well as what was in the hearts and minds of people. In …
The Days of Lot
The Pharisees had asked Jesus about the "kingdom of God" when it was going to come. Jesus answered them in one way saying, "The kingdom of God is within you" (Luke 17:21). He then, proceeds to tell them what the days will be like when the Son of Man comes. These are questions which are …
The People Who Desire to Hear Him
One of the things that causes jealousy in the hearts and minds of men and women is when someone else gets more notice, and attention than we do. This jealousy is quite evident among the religious leaders of Jesus's time on earth with us; walking, talking, teaching, living for the Father, and His glory. The …
Be Ready; The Son of Man Comes
"Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning; and ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately. Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I …
The Feigning Listening Ear
We have all been in a conversation with one or more with friends, family, people where we work, etc.; and stood there hearing sounds, but rather than listening we feign listening; while we are planning what we are going to say, when we get a chance. You know what I am talking about now. Be …
The Power of God
We ought always be amazed by the power of God. We ought always realize that God is working, moving, accomplishing His purposes in the world around us and in our own lives. Previous to the verses we look at today Jesus had been on the Mount called "Transfiguration", and He was speaking with Moses and …
Two Forgiven
Do you love Jesus? How much do you love Jesus? Loving Jesus is a response to His love for us. He loves you. He loves me. He has proven that love by coming as a babe in a manger, living a life solely dedicated to the word, way, walk, and witness of His Father. He …
All Night Prayer
Prayer is something many people talk about. Prayer: just what is it? Is prayer not one speaking with God? Can an unredeemed individual pray to a holy God; and get an answer? The Psalmist has written, "If I regard iniquity in my heart the Lord will not hear me." (Psalm 66:18). How important is prayer? …
The Power of the Spirit
For the Christian to accomplish any thing for the glory of the Lord, and not for the glory, or boasting of one's own self; and/or ego; it must be done by the Spirit of God in us. It is GOD who gets things done. It is God who saves a soul. It is God who …
Waiting for Years
There is a lack of patience in me. There is a lack of patience in me toward other people at times; especially when I am driving down the highway; or in the city. I must often correct my mind and thinking as I am driving. Many times; probably all the time; that correction comes from …

The Historian
It is not a rare thing; but Doctors in successful practices do not often leave their work to enter something else; such as to be a writer. Some have and do. When one leaves their medical practice to be a minister of Jesus Christ and His gospel that is a calling on them. Luke was …
Christ, the Son of the Blessed
Jesus on trial before a wicked, mob of Jewish priests, and haters of the Gospel of God stands with confidence in His Father and in the fulfillment of the promises, and prophecies of the Word of God. As He is being questioned He stands boldly; not answering the questions which are baited to condemn Him, …
