Control the Brightness?

I have come to a place that much of what I have learned is wrong.  It is humbling to think that I knew so much, and aggressively propagated what I knew.  I am embarrassed by so much. A room can be lighted in different ways.  A contractor determines what kind of illumination will be required, and [...]

Insert Yourself into Position

Jacob’s well was there; and Jesus, tired from the long walk, sat wearily beside the well about noontime.  John 4:6, NLT This is a remarkable account of Jesus’ humanity.  He is very tired.  He had been walking for a long time.  It was hot and sticky,  and He finds a cool place by an historic [...]

Was Jesus Mentally Disturbed?

“When his family heard about this, they went to take charge of him, for they said, “He is out of his mind.” Mark 3:21, NIV Even our Lord’s own family did not believe Him.  I can see them gathering out of concern, not only for concern for Jesus, but for the family name– perhaps they [...]

Is ‘Evangelism’ the Christian’s Greatest Fear?

“Why are you afraid of evangelism?” ********** Lets get serious now, why does it  frighten you?  Is it flesh, or maybe is it demonic?  What do you think?  What does God desire? ********************** Bad experiences Door to Door- My first witnessing experience happened in 1984, we went out 2×2.  I was paired up with Jody, a [...]

Martyrs in America? Maybe

…………………………………………………….. Being heard is not the same as having influence. Believers must reconsider the issues of being salt and light in a pagan culture.  We have tried a myriad of approaches in our evangelism, and we are not succeeding.  We have been maneuvered to the margins of society, and I fear that is where we will [...]

You Are Just a Prayer Away

As believers in Him who passionately loves the world, we are on our knees asking that the Father would bring you salvation.  You are lifted up, so that you will have an immediate and definite contact with the Holy Spirit.  We have consecrated you to Him.  You are now marked and set apart, and we await further instructions [...]

David Wilkerson’s Last Message

WHEN ALL MEANS FAIL by David Wilkerson | April 27, 2011 To believe when all means fail is exceedingly pleasing to God and is most acceptable. Jesus said to Thomas, “You have believed because you have seen, but blessed are those that do believe and have not seen” (John 20:29). Blessed are those who believe [...]

Low Sodium Christians

“Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.” Colossians 4:6   “Salt is good, but if it loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again?” Luke 14:34   Distinctiveness for God is first seen in our communication.  The way we talk [...]

Catching Hearts Like Fish

  Jesus called out to them, “Come, follow me, and I will show you how to fish for people!”  –Matthew 4:19 The invitation to these fishermen was a ‘call’ to Himself.  This is critical for us to note.  Jesus is not directing them to a broad set of religious ethics.  He is calling them to follow [...]
