    This lie promotes the idea that we are destined to be who we are. You feel trapped in whatever sin you may be engaged in and you believe you'll never change. But God says, "No, that's not true. You may feel you were born that way, but God says you must be 'born again.'"

    At another level, Jesus’ words are perplexing. How could I possibly do something on par with Jesus? After all, how could I play soccer like Lionel Messi? How could I direct a film like Steven Spielberg? Or how could I cook like Gordon Ramsey?

    Give me your full attention for a moment by allowing me to see your beautiful faces while I ask you this question. Which would you prefer? Walking with Jesus for three years like the Disciples did? Or would you prefer the Holy Spirit inside you, as believers experience today? Find John 14 with me, ...read more

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Feb 3, 2023
     | 1,549 views

    based on 36 ratings
     | 13,178 views

    Motive is what is dealt with, & the church today needs to examine the motive for our ministries. We know what we are doing, but do we know why we are doing it? Many a good work is ruined before God because of a bad motive.
