Carrying One To Jesus
Have you ever needed help doing something? Needed someone to give you a lift, an extra hand, or offer guidance in some instance where you may need guidance? We have all probably needed some type of help one time or another in our lives. In Luke 5:17-26 we see Luke’s account of Jesus healing the …

Judgement Day Surprises
As humans living on earth, it is said that there are only two certainties in life: death and taxes. I know on April 15 each year the U.S. government requires taxes to be completed. That is one requirement of citizens in the United States. Must a certainty for ALL humans is death. Unless we are …

Loving Good Works
Matthew 5:16 “In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.” Jesus was teaching during His sermon on the mount that we as Christians need to be seen by others of the world. How and why …
“It Is Written”
In Matthew 4, Jesus is tempted by satan on 3 separate occasions. Jesus was tempted the first time, just after fasting for 40 days and nights. Jesus must have been extremely hungry after fasting for this period of time. Satan tempted Jesus to turn stones into loaves of bread. I am pretty certain that Jesus …
