“He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?” (Romans 8:32). Years ago there was a very wealthy man who, with his devoted young son, shared a passion for art collecting. Together they traveled around the world, adding only the finest art treasures to their collection. Priceless works by Picasso, Van Gogh, Monet and many others adorned the walls of the family estate.... Read more

Many people have died at a young age leaving many to wonder what impact they may have made if they had led a full life, but their impact and legacy goes far beyond the years they were here. Faithful people always gain in their departure, while depositing eternal seeds of heaven into the hearts of others. They are as much witnesses to Christ as those who have accomplished much or have lived a full life. Read more

We often limit the Church to the organizations of people, and the activity of those organizations. But the Church is a organism, a people alive and empowered in Spirit. We reveal the living Christ far beyond the boundaries of any human institution. The Spirit “blows where it pleases”, and touches hearts wherever He wants, with no human constraints. People of destiny who proclaim Christ through words and deeds. Read more

In order to understand the New Testament, it is vital for us to understand the cultural and religious background of Jesus and His disciples. With this in mind, it is helpful for us to understand the common discipleship method of the Jewish rabbis during Jesus’ day, so we can gain a greater appreciation of His radical approach based on His claim of lordship. On the surface there appears to be no essential difference between the discipleship methods of Jesus and... Read more

Wounding is inevitable if we are following Christ. Jesus was both “marred” (Isa. 52:14) and “wounded” (Zech. 13:6), and if we are sincere in our pursuit of His nature, we will suffer as well. How else can love be perfected? Yet, let us beware. We either become Christlike and forgive, or we enter a spiritual time warp where we abide continually in the memory of our wounding. Like a systemic disease, the hurtful memories destroy every aspect of our reality.... Read more

Sufrir heridas es inevitable si vamos a seguir a Jesucristo. Jesús fue “desfigurado” (Isaías 52:14) y “herido” (Zacarías 13:6), y si nuestra búsqueda de Su naturaleza es sincera, nosotros también sufriremos. ¿De qué otra manera será perfeccionado el amor? Y aun, seamos conscientes. O bien llegamos a ser más como Cristo y perdonamos, o entraremos en una burbuja espiritual donde continuamente permanecemos en la memoria de nuestra herida. Como una enfermedad crónica, las memorias dolorosas destruyen cada aspecto de nuestra... Read more

It’s bad enough that rabid secularists hate Christmas. It’s downright tragic that some Christian purists judge others for celebrating the holiday. Two weeks ago when I wrote about how God worked in the lives of people in the biblical Christmas story, several readers jumped in to remind me that the modern celebration of Christmas is a pagan holiday that is luring unsuspecting, gift-giving revelers into hell itself. One person who identified himself as “Albert” wrote in our online forum that... Read more

Religious pedestals and kingdoms of self continue to fall and make way for God’s ever coming Kingdom. His Kingdom overtakes mans words, ways, and judgments. His presence filled love pours through lives that are obediently harmonized in Him, and synchronized with each other by His Spirit. The synchronized harmony of God’s empowered people, bring witness to the Kingdom, the power, and the glory of God on earth. Read more

Regardless of our vocation, family, socio-economic status, abilities, talents, education etc., wisdom can provide us with an uncommon advantage in establishing authentic and lasting relationships. These relationships are to operate in two directions, vertically toward God and horizontally toward man. It is said that it takes about two minutes to form a first impression and that it takes approximately 20 exposures of a “good” impression to “undo” a bad first impression. Research repeatedly confirms that our messages are interpreted by... Read more
