    If someone is looking for perfection in the Bride of Christ, they are not likely to find it. People focus on an ideal symmetry, but God gives His perfection to imperfect. We will be perfected at the return of our Saviour.

    “He had no form or majesty that we should look at him, and no beauty that we should desire him.” [1] Most of us don’t have to look very far to find things we don’t like about ourselves. Young women are trained by society to starve themselves in order to achieve a look they imagine will bring ...read more

    For Jesus, Gethsemane was a place of worship, a place to surrender his will to the Father; for Judas, it was a place to completely betray Jesus. No location can substitute for the heart.

    Gethsemane: Place for Prayer, Place for Betrayal (Matthew 26:36-50) 1. I found a strange article Friday titled, “Bear Saves Man in Mountain Lion Attack.” 2. “Robert Biggs, 69, who often hikes in the Whisky Flats area, came across a mother bear and her cubs, which were about 40 feet from where he ...read more

    Jesus came as our high priest, not to substitute a relationship with God, but to facilitate a relationship with God. He is our way to a personal relationship with God.

    How many knows that in every day life, the moment you say this is personal, everything goes to a different level. You may be casually visiting and joking around, and sharing things with little thought. But when someone says this is personal, the time for casual joking is over. Now it's ...read more
