    So, what is going on today? Why are so many Christians leading a defeated life? If you talk to the average Christian today, they will tell you it is hard out here for a saint.

    Are you getting your steps todays? Amplified Bible But I say, walk habitually in the [Holy] Spirit [seek Him and be responsive to His guidance], and then you will certainly not carry out the desire of the sinful nature [which responds impulsively without regard for God and His precepts].

    As we know, the era of the Judges was a difficult time in Israel due to the never-ending spin cycle of disobedience – defeat – crying – deliverance. The book of Ruth is a glimmer of hope in such a dreary landscape.

    Every person on earth is on a journey. You didn’t choose to start it. You don’t control when it ends. But you do decide how you walk it—and with whom you walk it. Are you walking the journey of life with Jesus Christ as your Saviour and Lord—or are you walking alone?

    Sometimes faith means moving through obstacles. We also see healing and forgiveness go hand in hand. The friends have enough faith to get the paralytic before Jesus - Then Jesus proves he has the authority to forgive.

    Last week, as we ended chapter one, we saw that Jesus is the authority. This week, as we start chapter two, we see an intensification of this theme, Jesus is the divine authority, for not only does He have the authority to heal, as we saw in chapter one, but he also has the authority to forgive ...read more
