Good Morning Humble Christ Imitators. Matt 7.  It’s easy to get hung up on religious practices.  Because we are sinners we daily experience conviction from the Holy Spirit.  It seems we can somewhat quiet the voice of conviction by “doing” things that make us “feel” spiritual.  Things that make us “feel” obedient - make us “feel” ok, despite our unrepentant sin or hard hearts.Even things like pray...  Read More

Good Morning mat lowerers.  What does that mean?  You’ll see - read on in Mark 2.Everywhere Jesus went, a mob gathered and followed.  Some, religious leaders seeking to trip Him up.  Some, seekers wondering what it was all about.  Some, straight up already convinced looking to soak up some of what Jesus was laying down and some, with Faith so strong they were looking to get healed or find healing ...  Read More

Good Morning Call Answerers.  We've finished the book of Matthew, now it's on to Mark.  You will likely notice some similarities as Matthew, Mark, Luke and John share their accounts of what they witnessed with Jesus.  Pay attention to the similarities and note the differences.  If God thought it was important enough to inspire more than once, it's probably important enough for us to be reminded.  ...  Read More

Good Morning Nation Disciplers!  Today we wrap up Matthew with Chapter 28The real Easter story - He is Risen.  Early on the 3rd day an Angel of the Lord that looks like lightning appears and rolls back the stone!  Looks like what?  Lightening it says, with clothes as white as snow.  When Moses wanted to see God, God had to stick his head in a rock Moses could only see Him from the back side as He ...  Read More

Do you know the authentic original well enough to recognize a counterfeit?  Government agents trained to recognize counterfeit money don’t study the counterfeits - they study the original.  They know all the details and ins and outs of real money.  So much so that when they see a fake they know it’s fake immediately.  The same should be true of us in regards to Jesus and the Word of God.  It’s ess...  Read More
