Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Apr 22, 2010

When I read Matthew 10, I wonder about John, a man with inoperable brain tumors. Wouldn't it have been wonderful if John had lived in Jesus days. But what can I do now?

Part 1 - Matthew 10:1 - HOW DO I PRAY FOR SOMEONE WITH INOPERABLE BRAIN TUMORS? The other day I met a man with INOPERABLE BRAIN TUMORS.

Part 3 - Matthew 10:2-4 - You Are Asking For Trouble Choosing Me! Series

Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Apr 25, 2010

Simon Peter and Andrew, James and John (the sons of Zebedee), and the other James and Thaddeus. Why choose sets of brothers? What's with the FAMILY thing? Wouldn't there have been A CONFLICT OF INTEREST? Not when Jesus is leading.

Part 3 - Matthew 10:2-4 - YOU ARE ASKING FOR TROUBLE CHOOSING ME! I have always been a bit of a loner. I was not the sort of person you wanted in your team. I didn't fit. If Jesus hadn't come into my life, I am sure I would have ended up as a starving artist or at least a hermit - a recluse with ...read more

"We Love Because....

Contributed by Ross Cochrane on May 10, 2010

When Jesus gives His disciples the authority to "Heal the sick, raise the dead," in Matthew 10:8 I'm not sure that playing loud music is what He had in mind. But the "wailing out the truth" part certainly was.

Part 9 - Matthew 10:5-13 - MUSIC TO RAISE THE DEAD! "MUSIC TO RAISE THE DEAD", an album from a Christian Rock group called Resurrection startled the Christian world with it's intensity in the 1970's. They did this in a day when many conservative pastors and evangelists actively thundered their ...read more
