The Kind Of Person God Protects Series

Contributed by James Wallace on Feb 17, 2021

Many of the promises of God's protection or provision in the Bible are actually conditional. They absolutely don't apply to anybody and everybody. Jesus shows us in John 6 exactly what kind of people can expect His protection and provision, and what kind of people can't.

Psalm 91 has always, from very early in my Christian life, been one of my favorite Psalms, because it speaks so beautifully and certainly of the Lord’s protection. I mean, just listen to it—it’s makes for beautiful poetry as well as for comforting thoughts—“He who dwells in the shelter of the ...read more

Empathic Compassion: Experiencing Your Pain In My Heart

Contributed by Jack Perkins, D.min., Ladc, Csac, Cclc on Feb 18, 2021

When I think of Jesus I think of empathy and compassion; they are embedded Jesus' salvific mission. Too often clergy and Christians take a propositional approach to the Gospel. Loving and caring for people according to the example Jesus set requires us to demonstrate empathy and compassion.

I carefully watched him as he walked down the hall; he was dressed in a long flowing white coat. His head hung unpersuasively from his shoulders. The doctor's demeanor suggested he was intensely contemplating what he would say to us, or he was envisioning another appointment. Halfway down ...read more

Contributed by Rodney V Johnson on Feb 27, 2021

In Part 2 of this series we will take a close look at the relationship between joy and forgiving; specifically how unforgiveness impacts and hinders our ability to experience God's joy.

The Power of Joy Part 2 Scripture: Psalm 32:1-5; Second Corinthians 2:7-11; 6:10; 12:9; Matthew 6:12, 14-15 Good morning New Light.

Respect Versus Contempt

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 13, 2021

All that is hateful and unloving is to some degree evil. Jesus says we need to be aware of this, and deal with it in its early stages, and so prevent all the serious consequences of thinking that negative attitudes are alright as long as you don't murder anyone.

Alexander the Great conquered the world, but anger conquered him, and turned him into a murderer. Like so many of the murders of history, it was not intended or designed. It happened because men do not understand that anger is the beginning of murder. Clitus, his best friend, was teasing ...read more

The Now Life

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 13, 2021

The Lord's Prayer in chapter 6 is a now prayer. Give us this day our daily bread. All of its petitions are for now. Hallowed be your name-now. Thy kingdom come now. Thy will be done on earth-now.

The Greatest Ruler Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 15, 2021

This is an impressive amount of evidence that supports the conviction that Jesus is the greatest ruler in the universe. He governs the universe from this position of equality with God the Father.

We are ahead of our time when we bow to Jesus, for one day every knee will bow and every tongue confess him as Lord of Lords and King of Kings. Back in 1917 at the Annual Exhibition of the Royal Academy in London, Charles Butler exhibited a painting he had worked on for three years. It is called ...read more

The Greatest Worship Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 15, 2021

Jesus was worshiped in His manhood, and Jesus is worshiped in His deity, and forever both angelic and human beings will worship the God-Man on His throne. Can there be any doubt that worshiping Jesus is THE GREATEST WORSHIP.

No other being in all of history has been held up as one to be worshiped by all the angels. God Himself gave the command that all of His intelligent created beings are to bow down to His Son. He forbids that anyone worship any angel, but He demands that His Son be worshiped. This should settle it ...read more

Jesus Had A Sense Of Humor Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 16, 2021

The heavenly Father of Jesus has a great sense of humor and a spirit of joy, and Jesus is the express image of the Father and so we can assume that Jesus had the same joy and gladness of His Father.

A funny thing happened to Jesus on the way to heaven. He met people, and as we all know, people are funny. Jesus was a real person as well, and he had a great sense of humor. I am so sure of this that I wrote a poem about it. Jesus had a sense of humor, Of this truth there is no doubt. It is ...read more
