    Christmas & Butterflies

    Contributed by Ed Mcneely on Dec 5, 2002
    based on 24 ratings
     | 4,603 views

    Christmas is the beginning of the transformation of our character from the flesh into the Spirit much as a caterpillar changes into a butterfly: In salvation, it is a Spiritual metamorphism that brings just as radical a change in the believer.

    THE BUTTERFLY & THE CATERPILLAR 12-8-02 Luke 2:11, Hebrews 10:1-10 + Others Christmas! It is… Ÿ More than a baby in a manger; Ÿ More than shepherds and angels; Ÿ Even more than Wise men traveling 2 years bearing gifts. Christmas is when… the living Son of God… Ÿ Stepped out of his glory... ...read more

    This starts with a story of a young boy who has a pivotal moment that changes the focus of his whole life. Just as the blind mans interaction with Jesus changed his.

    When you think about the narrow streets of Paris at night, under the glow of the sparkling Eiffel tower, with a chilly summer breeze blowing down the promenade that sends lovers close together, you might find it romantic and enchanting. But pan out, to a 12-year-old boy…sitting alone on a bench, ...read more

    Under The Influence

    When a person is, "under the influence," it changes the way they act and behave. God wants to influence us and put spices into us that will change the flavor of our life.

    Under the Influence Isa 7:2 And it was told the house of David, saying, Syria is confederate with Ephraim. And his heart was moved, and the heart of his people, as the trees of the wood are moved with the wind. In life there are negative and positive things that will exert an influence upon your ...read more

     | 3,330 views

    I start to think about how Christ changed my life, and how he changed my story. The mystery of Jesus Christ is the mystery of divine personality.

    Now is right around the time of year when I start looking forward, and I start thinking about Halloween, Thanksgiving, and of course Christmas. We center our lives on a 365 day year. And interspersed in that year are various celebrations and holidays that help us ground our lives. As Christmas ...read more

    "You can't go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending." - C.S. Lewis

As James would later admonish, “Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.” ...read more

    Changing our thoughts and focusing on our true identity in Christ can transform our lives. By adopting the teachings of Jesus, we can change our story.

    Let's talk about something real. You know how we sometimes get stuck in our heads, replaying the same old stories? Like that time you messed up in front of everyone, or when you didn't make the team, or when you felt like you didn't fit in. We all have those stories, right? But here's the thing, ...read more

    What Would You Have Me To Do?

    based on 3 ratings
     | 10,075 views

    Pick your battles wisely...make the right choice. That was some good advice, because the only thing more scandalous than believing God can do everything, is fighting against God when He is doing what He said He would do!

    What would you have me to do? Mark 4:35-41 MSG 35-38. Late that day he said to them, “Let’s go across to the other side.” They took him in the boat as he was. Other boats came along. A huge storm came up. Waves poured into the boat, threatening to sink it. And Jesus was in the stern, head on a ...read more

    LIFE is about learning. From childhood until the day you die, you must keep learning. God created us so we can learn and understand who He is, what He wants, etc. There is a blessing in your house. Do you know? Discover it today...

    As a child my parents helped me to learn how to speak and they taught me how to be a nice person and how to do everything in my life.
