WHO IS JESUS?
It all started when they came to their local San Clemente beach to see a longtime friend get baptized by his dad and me. I can see their two beautiful young faces so clearly in my mind . . . one dark, the other light; one had a strong football build, the other a tall, lean volleyball build; one has grown up in a Hindu household, the other a family who didn’t talk too much about God, didn’t believe in church either. Both were curious high school students, coming…

:Do not let them depart from your eyes ( proverbs4:21 The key thought in this direction can be summed up in the word focus. With natural eyesight incorrect focus produces blurred vision and believe this is the problem with many peoples eyes unless we can focus our spiritual reality Jesus said The light of the Body also full of light but when thine eye is evil is evil thy body also full of darkness. make me LAMP stand to behold the Glory of the lord in heavenly places Amen

The other day I was reading where someone had broken down each verse of Psalm 23 into different categories. I then had the desire to break it down into the different attributes & Names of God. Now, I'm not a theologian, Bible student or anything. I'm a simple woman with a Hebrew Concordance & a Bible. So, I may have a few names & attributes in with the wrong verses. Feel free to correct anything. I know I just had a great time doing this.…

Surrounding the throne were twenty-four other thrones, and seated on them were twenty-four elders. They were dressed in white and had crowns of gold on their heads.
I've always believed these to be the 12 tribes & the 12 disciples. If this is the 12 disciples, who would be the 12th disciple? So, I began reading commentaries & read various interpretations. Man, did I open up a can of worms. Here are several of them.
1) 12 Tribes & 12 Disciples In this case, who would…

Calling and Purity—their relationship. Matthew 5.8
It is called plate spinning. You’ve seen it, right? Where a juggler gets one plate (and then another), spinning on the end of the pole, and just as sure as it appears that one plate will peter out and fall, the juggler keeps it alive, and soon there are four plates spinning! I love the visual, and it certainly fits—for me. On one spinning plate in my head, I have Jesus’ calling of his first disciples, on another plate, teaching on…

Jesus Calling. Matthew 4.18-25
Two sets of brothers about their daily business of fishing the Sea of Galilee. One pair on shore, the other pair in a boat, but both had the same reaction--they dropped what they were doing and followed Jesus when he called them. I have thought a lot about this before; what was it about Jesus that made them so immediately responsive, so much so that they left their livelihoods to go with him?1
This message from Jesus’ disciple, Andrew, one of the…

Strategically Placed. Matthew 4.12-17
It was not an accident that Jesus settled in the region of Galilee, setting up headquarters in Capernaum; it was strategic.
Where you live and work, who your neighbors are,
is no accident either—you are strategically placed.
Following Matthew’s account of…

True Empowerment. Matthew 4.1-11
After resisting the tempter’s final snare, (recorded in Matthew 4), the angels came to minister to Jesus’ physical needs, which were great, after 40 days of fasting and living in the rugged wilderness. Before leaving this passage, we note two things about how the Lord Jesus handled great temptation:
1) He countered with Scripture.
2) He did what his brother James would later tell believers to…

People are Looking for God. Matthew Three.
Yesterday at the close of a radio interview broadcast nationally out of Texas, the host gave me a couple minutes to say anything I wanted to close the segment. Anything?! Wow, what a privilege, what a responsibility to use my words to point people to God. After buying a few moments to think, with a protracted ‘Hmmm. . .’ I said something like this:
“This is what I’ve learned ~ all people--no matter their…

Matthew – where we’ve been . . . Matthew 1
(We’ve had the holidays and some travel tales and now let’s get back to Matthew!)
The Gospel of Matthew was written by the Jewish tax collector turned disciple. Throughout his writing, he cites Old Testament prophecies, which Jesus fulfillfed—intended to show Jewish people in particular, that Jesus was indeed their long-awaited Messiah. He leads with the genealogy of Jesus Christ, establishing…

Who is your First Love?
“Therefore repent and return, so that your sins may be wiped away, in order that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord. ~~~ Acts 3:19
Repentance and uncompromising to the world are essential to revival. God wants us to repent of all every sin we have, all our hidden sin for there is nothing hidden from God, (Hebrews 4:13) you may think like it is okay to do such things anyways no one…

It happened again. The rearview mirror thing.
‘How’re you doing this cold morning?’ I asked my cabdriver. I couldn’t delay any conversation I hoped to have, as the ride was relatively short. ‘Oh, I’m fine,’ he said, as I noted his thick accent and very dark skin. ‘Where ‘you from?’ I asked. ‘Somalia,’ came his terse reply. Short on opportunity, but curious just the same, I cut right to it—‘so would you be a man of faith?’ ‘Yes.’ ‘Muslim, perchance?’ I asked. And up came his right hand…

Sitting down, Jesus called the Twelve and said, If anyone wants to be first, he must be the very last, and the servant of all
(Mark 9:35).
Our Lord evidently knew what these disciples had been talking about. So when they get into the house at Capernaum , He asks them, What were you discussing on the way?…

Hell is not a place like jail, where you get to serve a sentence for a while, and then after you have served your time, you can leave. NO, hell is a place where you are eternally sentenced and eternally you will be there. . . never to stop the anguish, the burning, or the screaming. There is no second chance, because judgement will have been set.
Notice that…

We are Christ's Ambassadors On Earth.
So we are Christ's ambassadors; God is making his appeal through us. We speak for Christ when we plead, "Come back to God!" ~~~ 2 Corinthians 5:20~~~
Do we know what an ambassador is supposed to do, or how an ambassador should behave in private or in Public?
How people view your country depends on how the ambassador behave. Therefore, how people view our Lord Jesus Christ depends on how we…
