Revenge.  What a dirty word.  It is what people sometimes do when they get mad at someone, or find themselves frustrated in their present situation.  Although not always the case, revenge is normally an angry knee-jerk reaction, and not typically well thought out.  Peoples’ feelings become mere play toys for the recently wounded and revenge-filled [...]

Where do I start when I sit down to study the bible with someone who doesn’t know God? Try Acts 17:16-34 When the Apostle Paul was in Athens, he proclaimed the gospel beginning with God and creation.  It is my opinion that this proclamation lesson might be one of the most useful to Christians today [...]

I declare April as… Sit-ups & Push-ups Month! “Oh yeah Lee, who do you think you are?” Well, I’m a man who seriously needs to lose a gut and gain some kind of strength. And yeah, I know, you think I should add “this and that” to these two excersizes if I’m really gonna get a [...]

“Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death. ”  Romans 8:1-2 Found in Romans chapter eight, look how Paul compares living according to the sinful nature to living according [...]

Yeah, she knew she was a Samaritan, from a Samaritan town. She probably knew all about her heritage too, the one that showed the world when her pure Jewish blood was forever tainted with Gentile blood. And based on what she said to Jesus, in all probability she despondently accepted her caste position and just minded her own business. Too,…

Read Luke 8:1-15:  1 After this, Jesus traveled about from one town and village to another, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom of God. The Twelve were with him, 2 and also some women who had been cured of evil spirits and diseases: Mary (called Magdalene) from whom seven demons had come out; 3 [...]

I want to make something clear. Like the majority of Americans, I too believe there is a God. I have also taken a step of faith to believe that the Jewish/Christian bible is from God. In the bible I have found many truths about who God is, what he has done, and what he expects of me. [...]

“Calling his disciples to him, Jesus said, ‘I tell you the truth, this poor widow has put more into the treasury than all the others.  They all gave out of their wealth; but she, out of her poverty, put in everything—all she had to live on.’”  (Mark 12:43-44) I am convinced that the story we [...]

Day 27—Ephesians 4:17-24  17 So I tell you this, and insist on it in the Lord, that you must no longer live as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thinking. 18 They are darkened in their understanding and separated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due [...]

Day 2—John 3:1-8 1 Now there was a Pharisee, a man named Nicodemus who was a member of the Jewish ruling council. 2 He came to Jesus at night and said, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the signs you are doing if [...]

Day 1—John 3:16-21 16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. 18 Whoever believes [...]

Ok.  (a big breath…and then a big exhale) I have decided to do a bible study of salvation over the next 30 days right here on my blog.  Each day I will choose a passage referring to some aspect of salvation and briefly discuss the passage openly.  I truly believe this will be and interesting study for long [...]

We have designed for our teens and adults who attend our Wednesday Night Mission 454 Class an easy and casual reading plan that will gradually take us through the gospel book of Luke in three months (February, March & April). Basically, the plan will require each of us to read two chapters [...]

“People were also bringing babies to Jesus to have him touch them. When the disciples saw this, they rebuked them. But Jesus called the children to him and said, ‘Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. I tell you the [...]

Possibly you plan to stay home during the week of Christmas because your kids are out of school and you want to have some family time, or maybe you just need a break from your constant hectic work cycle.  Regardless of what your plans are for the Christmas holiday season… Will you try something?
