John 10:10-10Although Nicodemus was a 'master of Israel,' he didn't understand the salvation equation. He was deeply confused, because Jesus said that we must be "born again," which makes no sense physically. Thankfully, Jesus defines the new birth as being born of the water and of the spirit. That's why if you're only born once, you have to die twice, but if you're born twice, you only have to die once. [ read more...]

John 3:16-16A lot of Christians are exactly like the people who waited at the pool of Bethesda; always waiting for the 'ideal' moment to change. They watch others be blessed, saved, and healed, but they still lay around waiting for some help.

John 11:3-32God is not frightened or perplexed by our situations. He knows exactly what He's 'doing,' and what He's 'allowing.' Just like we enjoy showing off a new car, toy, or our children's talents, God enjoys proving us to the devil and to the world in life's ordinary circumstances. When we can't see what God's doing, we have to hold onto His promise. [ read more...]

Living the Good Life, Part 9
John 20:26-29The human imagination is an incredible faculty. With it we can make printed pages come alive as we create mental images of people, places, and events that we have never seen. Unfortunately, our imagination does serve us well, but is severely limited. So many time, even with scripture, we have such a 'sanitized' mental image of scene that we rob ourselves of much of the impact of the actual event. The most obvious example would be the crucifixion of our Savior. [ read more...]

God's Economics

Getting To Know Him
The most important commandment God gave us is to love Him with all of our heart, soul, mind, and strength. In this series, “Getting To Know Him,” we are taught that the extent of our worship is determined by the amount of love we have for God. This is key, because through worship is how we get to know God on deeper levels. If we aren’t continually seeking a more fulfilling relationship with God, our worship will diminish, and we will ultimately forget about who God really is. [ read more... ]

Fasting
No matter what kind of decision you are making there is always one factor to consider: the human will! If you truly set your heart to deciding to join in this fast then there is nothing that can detour you. Having a made up mind will be the vital key in determining the success or failure of anything you do in life. The Apostle James (James 1:8) tells us that any man who has a double mind is “unstable.” In other words if you do not make a decision to fast and determine that you are going to make it then you will have trouble during this entire 21 days.
