The Greatest Pursuit

There is faith in God and there is hope for God, but I can say beyond a shadow of a doubt that the greatest pursuit of all things, the superior way, the most excellent way—not for praise of man, not heart-less, philanthropic deeds done nor “deeds” inspired by satan—but the most excellent way is True Love with good words and deeds inspired by God with the right motives, which is love for God and His Kingdom of Love. True Love will never fail. Why...

The Compassion of Christ

Jesus was popular and surrounded by crowds of people everywhere, and instead of recoiling or distancing himself, he behaved quite the opposite. If Jesus lived today, you would not see him traveling in protective vehicles with a security squad. Knowing that he was led by God and represented the will and behavior of The Father…note that Jesus embraced the crowd and its needs...

It is In the Heart

Look at what Mark 12 reveals: Jesus commands us to love, so we must have the capacity to love. Indeed, we have all had an entire heart of love this entire time. You do not have to go thru some journey to find it—it has been right there in your heart all along...

Turn Around

The test will be that you will want to have your excuse…but you must understand that EVERYONE has their test. Everyone has his or her problem. Stop the lie that your problem is bigger.

That is futile, unproductive, useless, vain and empty; and glorifying yourself is repulsive—but worse, it is futile for you to have glorified something [yourself] that will be dead in a few years, and a being that has no power outside of being connected to God...

The Man Who Loves His Life Will Lose It

ohn chapter 12 has a deep lesson for us all. Jesus replied, “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified. I tell you the truth, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds. The man who loves his life will lose it, while the man who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life. Whoever serves me must follow me; and where I am, my servant also will be. My Father will honor the one who serves me. Now my heart is troubled, and what shall I say? ‘Father, save me from this hour’? No, it was for this very reason I came to this hour. Father, glorify your name!” Faith believes that there is a clear directing hand from the Heavens on those in authority...
