    God will hold us responsible he has already told us that for those that know to do good and do it not to them it is a sin. Faith without works is dead. That means to be a Christian we have to do something for God.

    Jesus is calling us to start using more of our wits, our brains, our craftiness, our shrewdness that we use to secure our position on earth, and start using these same gifts to the glory of God.

    Each of us has to serve somebody. Jesus in Luke 16 gives us some real incentive to make the Lord God our only God.

    Does Jesus ever say things that seem confusing or even contradictory? "Eat my flesh" Jesus said in John 6. Did that mean cannibalism? "Do these words offend you?" Jesus said. They heard words on the surface but didn’t realize what they meant in terms of Jesus giving His body as a sacrifice and ...read more
