As we approach the last of the last days, we see an alarming trend among many pastors to drift away from the basic truths of Scripture. We should not be surprised. Jesus promised this day would come (Matthew 24, II Timothy 3). So, how do we know for sure from Scripture that Jesus is the very

Christ met unbelievers where they were. And He met them most often in the marketplace, not in a place of worship.
He realized what many Christians today still don't seem to understand. Cultivators have to get out in the field.
According to one count, the Gospels record 132 contacts that

[155]. A MESSAGE FROM A POEM – JESUS ELEVATED IN THE MIDST
Not I, but Christ. That is how it ought to be. That is the emphasis we need to have in our living and ministry. I am nothing without my Lord. If I think I am something I am deluded. If I think the ability is mine I am a disgrace.

[157]. A MESSAGE FROM A POEM – JESUS ON TRIAL (Easter)
This is a more unusual style for me as you will see. The whole poem is set at the trial of the Lord from the time He entered the judgement hall until the sentence was pronounced.

[304]. A MESSAGE FROM A POEM - THEY HAVE GONE TO BE WITH JESUS
Right at the outset I want to say I LOVE THIS POEM. IT MEANS SO MUCH TO ME.
I love it because the Lord gave it freely to me and the truth of it now for 27 years has been part of the way I address the loss of a Christian loved one.

In order to fix such a mess and to bring the presence of God back into the midst of His chosen people, you have to understand the back story. In the world of drama, every character in a play, or in a television show or movie, has a back story. This is what happened

And we, the helpless flock of God’s church, need Jesus to be a shepherd for us. For it would be a courageous but stupid sheep who said to his shepherd, "no thanks, I think I’ll take care of this bear on my own." And we would be pretty foolish if we thought that we could handle Satan’s attacks on

Today, we need our eyes opened to Jesus just as much as those early Christians. In one church, a sign that only the pastor could see was taped up in the pulpit. It quoted the words of John 12:21, (spoken by the Greeks who were in Jerusalem for the Passover to Philip) – “Sir, we would like to see
