Time Share

Contributed by Jose R. Hernandez on Apr 9, 2011

How can we accomplish this? We can accomplish this by allowing God to occupy the first place in our life. We can accomplish this when we learn to rest in the love, mercy and glory of the Lord. We can accomplish this when we build upon God’s truth.

How many of you have ever heard the term “time share”? I really don’t know who came up with this concept, but what I can tell you is that he/she must have become a multimillionaire. I say this because the term: “time share” means to buy a space of time in an ...read more

Peter is called upon to make a judgment: Is this man, the Centurion for real, or not? To accurately make the decision that is before him, Peter must set aside the ways he has discerned before, and he must step out in faith.

In our Scripture this morning, we see that Peter has a vision where a blanket full of different kinds of food and a voice announces, Get up, Peter. Kill and eat.” “Surely not, Lord!” Peter replies. “I have never eaten anything impure or unclean.” Peter is very careful about what he eats, and with ...read more

Contributed by Jim Drake on Nov 16, 2009
