Matthew 6:15 – Forgiving Others Selfishly

| December 28, 2013

Jesus said, “But if you don’t forgive people, your Father will not forgive your wrongdoing (Mt 6:15).” If we forgive others only so that God will forgive us, then we are forgiving selfishly and not selflessly. We are not showing mercy to others knowing we do not deserve mercy, but showing mercy in order to […]

Numbers 13:30-31 – Name the 10 Spies who Said “We Can’t”

| December 27, 2013

When someone says, “That won’t work;” “We’ve tried that before;” “We can’t;” ask them to name the 10 spies in Israel who said about conquering Canaan, “We can’t” (Nm 13.31). Nope, I don’t know their names either. Then ask them to name the 2 spies who said, “We can” (Nm 13.30). So would we rather […]

Matthew 16:18 – Are the Denominations in the Bible?

| December 26, 2013

When reading God’s written word, do you see any denominations? If not, be non-denominational, not involved with denominations. If not, be un-denominational, the opposite of denominations. If not, be anti-denominational, against the concept and practice of denominations. If not, be pre-denominational, go back to the simplicity and purity of God’s written word.

Perryism – If we are more familiar with the traditions of our church than the word of God, then we are spending more time going to church than being the church.

Mark 7:20-23 – Homosexuality

| December 26, 2013

“Jesus never said anything about homosexuality.” That is the common rant today, and that is correct. Jesus also never mentioned child molestation, rape, bestiality, “threesomes,” pre-marital sex and many other sexually deviant behaviors either. Yes, Jesus said nothing about any of those activities, if, that is, you want those specific words used. Problem is, Jesus […]

Gospels – The Story of the Savior

| December 26, 2013

The Story of the Savior: 1. Jesus Self-Identified with the Unclean – In His Birth 2. Christ Socialized with Sinners – in His Life 3. Christ Scolded the Self-Righteous – in His Teaching 4. Christ Saves His Servants – in His Death 5. Christ Set Loose the Slave of Fear – in His Resurrection 6. […]

Acts 2 – Pentecost and Christmas

| December 26, 2013

Some Christians and churches will object to using Christmas as a time to speak about Christ and His birth, since, we do not know on what date Jesus was born. Therefore some will either ignore the opportunity or condemn the observance either religiously or even secularly. Just a thought, Peter and the rest of the […]

Poem – Born to Die, Then Rise, From Death’s Tomb

| December 21, 2013

“I AM,” born to die, then rise, from death’s tomb. To Bethlehem, in Mary’s virgin womb. Birthed in stable, in home and hearts, no room. Angels shout, “Peace on Earth,” voices abloom. “Glory to God;” divine night knows no gloom. Shepherds, sheep they leave, later to resume. Gold, frankincense, myrrh, birth’s and death’s perfume. Magi […]
