In what do you believe? In whom do you believe? It does make a difference what we believe. Hear the words of Jesus: "Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on Me, believeth not on Me, but on Him that sent Me. And he that seeth Me seeth Him that sent Me. I am come …

Security companies seem to be flourishing in today's world. A lot of people are worried about the security of their businesses or homes, and even their automobiles. We all know there are many unscrupulous people who care not for the worth of another man's or woman's labors. I mean we work hard for what we …
Hearing God’s Words
First on the matter of "hearing". For some people; as we get older; the hearing starts to fade away. First it is certain tones and such, then sometimes gradually the rest of it fades, and sounds get more difficult to hear, and detect differences in sounds. Some people today just refuse to hear. Especially the …
Division
No, we are not dealing with a mathematics problem. We are going to deal with the division that is still present concerning the matter of Jesus. "Many of the people therefore, when they heard this saying, said, Of a truth this is the Prophet. Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, Shall Christ …
The Testimony of Jesus
The Old Testament Law required that there be more than on witness to any legal situation. We look today at Jesus's declaration of His testimony and that of the Father, His works, and that of the Scriptures themselves. "But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given …
The Ministry of Decrease
Christian men and women struggle with the labor of ministry; and its rewards. The greatest reward of ministry is seeing people come to faith in Christ Jesus, through of the preaching and teaching the word of God, that we do. Our influence on these people though should decrease as those individuals grow in the faith …
Jesus Knows
Humanity; all of us, can be so excited about a person, event, or miraculous happening one moment, and the next turn our hearts and mind against it. I believe that is called "fickleness". There were some people in Jesus's day who wanted to make Him King when they heard Him teach and saw His miracles …
Getting Understanding
There are many people who have made the comment, "I would read the Bible, but I just don't understand it". They may make a comment like this, "It is too complicated for me". Let us understand one thing. No one can understand Scriptures except God give us understanding. After Jesus had risen from the grave …
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 …
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 …
