AT PLAYI recently watched a 3-year-old at play with friends. He seemed oblivious to his father’s voice even though it was loud enough for one who had ears to hear. You know where this is going. FALSE SECURITYWe American Christians are at play too and many are oblivious to our Father’s voice. They are resting…

I view “today” from the perspective that a God-hating and righteousness-hating spirit is increasingly informing our leaders and shaping our land. That the spirit of the antichrist is already here, as John wrote,* is confirmed daily. God is warning the Church through many voices, and any humble and wise observer of our moral, political and…

How could Jesus have gone so wrong that in only five days the palm branches and the jubilant “Hosanna to the Son of David” could deteriorate into the vicious shouts of “Crucify Him?” * A PR BLUNDER?The first thing Jesus did after the Triumphal Entry was to cleanse the temple. Maybe not a good PR…

EASTER!Easter celebrates when Jesus purchased the banquet food and  started to set the table for us, and Pentecost is when He said “The banquet is spread, come and dine.” When we are born again, God gives us the nature of His Kingdom, the new spirit realm we have been transferred into.* We have new desires…

GOOD GRUBThere are no artificial flavors or preservatives in the food on Jesus’ table. Or refined sugar, high fructose corn syrup or hydrogenated oil. It’s all from His Garden; grown from heritage seed; and pesticide free because He dealt with the pests about 2000 years ago. IF – –If you think there’s no hope for…

Remember the abundant life that we talked about recently, which Jesus won for us on the cross? It means our becoming who we were created to…

GARDEN DELICACIESWe humans were formed in the image of God. Our spirit, which distinguishes us from the rest of creation, connects us with His Spirit to make us complete. As with all else, we were created for God’s glory, but only humans have a will and can chose to glorify Him. We were designed for…

HERE’S MY POINTPicking up from last time – – do we live as though we understand the glory of God’s gift of eternal life? And its superiority over what Satan offers us to satisfy our persistent inner craving for a spirit-connection? Jesus put things into perspective with, “The thief comes only to steal and kill…

FOR HIS GLORYMost Christians recognize that we were created for God’s glory, but do we know what that means? Forgive me if I insult you, sound sacrilegious, or upset your stomach, but I think that McDonalds understands glory better than many Christians do. I’ll try to define it in a practical, functional sense more than…

SOMETHING BETTER – 7 The NeedThe captivating need for a god that we described yesterday is a common denominator of “man” regardless of gender, nationality, education, wealth, religion or anything else that distinguishes us as individuals. Even the “natives” in the remotest jungles have their form of a god. It might be the sun or…
