    God's Demonstration Of Joy

    Contributed by Jim Erwin on Dec 14, 2007

Demonstrations can be a public display that shows others what we believe. Demonstrate can also mean to show evidence of about something. We hear about demonstrations quite ...read more

    It doesn’t take long at this dinner party before the chaos breaks out, this time through the surprising appearance of Mary, pouring a ludicrously expensive jar of perfume.

    We’re turning to John’s Gospel today, which, quite frankly, is a little unnerving for me, as I find John’s Gospel more difficult to deal with than the other three John retells the story of Jesus in such a way that things are rarely as they appear to be.

    The church must speak Gods truth even when the government of the day no longer wishes to hear it. Pray we find the courage our brave veterans posses so that we too can defend the faith from enemies both foreign and domestic and enjoy our freedom.

    Freedom There are many kinds of freedom and many kinds of slavery. We can be free in our spirit and souls yet be enslaved and held prisoner by a government that does not recognize our God or our beliefs. We think of ancient times when Christians were brought into the arenas as slaves for the ...read more
