     | 670 views

    If we focus on our tenets to the exclusion of focusing on the will of the Lord, we are in danger of drifting into Pharisaical Religion. If we allow this to happen, we will displease the Lord and oppose Him.

    “When the Pharisees gathered to him, with some of the scribes who had come from Jerusalem, they saw that some of his disciples ate with hands that were defiled, that is, unwashed. (For the Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless they wash their hands properly, holding to the tradition of the ...read more

     | 15,700 views

    Here's the only place in the N.T. where Jesus prayed for someone twice for the same ailment. Was it a gradual healing or 2 different healings? Many people today need a 2nd dose of Jesus to push them to spiritual victory!

The butcher went to the lawyer's office and asked him, "If a dog is without a leash and steals a roast from my store, do I have the legal right to require payment for the meat that ...read more

     | 4,959 views

    We have all sinned. We’re all displeased by sin, and that disease is fatal. Perhaps these are some of the same things that drove this young ruler in the Bible to seek advice and counsel from Jesus Christ.

    What are people looking for? The same as young man in the Bible. There is a restless among people, especially among youth today; there’s a feeling of emptiness and dependency, a sense of guilt. There’s a strong desire for an ideology that will give meaning to our existence. We have all sinned. ...read more
