    Jesus calls us to be fishers of men, to follow him. He doesn't call us to lives of safety, but of salvation.

    This story that we have in the gospel reading for today is one that makes me smile because I feel like I know exactly what Simon is thinking here in this moment. I have had days like this fishing. Days where I’ve been out for hours and hours and there’s just nothing. And we tried everything, ...read more

    Do you have the heart a mouse or the heart of an eagle? Let me answer that for you. God has not given you the heart of a mouse. He has given you the heart and the spirit of an eagle so that by His strength and by His power you will be able to soar to greater and greater and greater heights.

    A paratrooper was once asked how many times he had jumped out of an airplane while he was in the military. “None,” he said. “What do you mean ‘none,’” his friend asked, “I thought that you were a paratrooper in the service.” “I was,” he answered, “but I never jumped … I was pushed out of the ...read more

    Pride can make someone think more highly of themselves than they should. Naaman almost missed a miracle because of pride.

    Everyone knows that the lion is the king of the jungle. And they are very prideful. In fact a group of lions are called a pride. One day the lion being filled with pride decided to make sure all the others knew it. He was so confident that he by-passed the smaller animals and went straight to the ...read more

    Psalm 88 is considered to be the gloomiest chapter in all the bible. There is not one glimmer of hope yet we can draw from it wonderful teaching. The psalmist was in a very dark state when this Psalm was penned. His pleading with God seemed to be unanswered. Resurrection is considered.

    If we are living our lives to ourselves, we will be the grinch, or Ebenezer Scrooge. Our insides will be so messed up that we’ll soon be living a life of fear and paranoia, feeling that everyone is out to get us.

    Title: Hollow and Empty Scripture: Romans 14:7 For none of us lives to himself alone and none of us dies to himself alone. 8 If we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord. 9 For this very reason, Christ died and returned to ...read more

    Maybe there was a time in your life when you were walking on water on a regular basis – a time when your heart was much like Peter’s: “command me. Tell me to come to you.” Or perhaps it’s been a while since you’ve got out of the boat – but the Lord is pa

    Why Jesus Wants Us To Be Initiators Instead Of Remaining As Passive Recipients

    based on 25 ratings
     | 8,523 views

    The Lord expects us to initiate opportunities with the power of the Spirit to bring others to a saving and growing faith in our Lord Jesus. It is not enough to passively receive what He gives freely. "Freely we have received, therefore, freely give."
