    Christ came to start a fire ... how he wished it had been kindled! But it wasn’t so he set the world on fire!

    As I was enjoying a long bike ride this week I was amazed at the fact that I had ridden by myself on the path for some way and not realized the terrain and surroundings had changed.

    The Fire that Jesus brings to the earth is a Fire of love, not the consuming fire of destruction such that destroyed Sodom and Gomorah, however, it’s impact burns in the hearts of the hearers and causes them to judge their own deeds which results in confl

    Let’s put it this way, it’s not nice to hear any message of destruction, talk less of destruction by bringing fire to the earth. If Jesus was walking the streets of California, Los Angeles, London and Paris with that kind of message he would be number one on the FBI list of wanted persons. Well in ...read more

    The cross of Christ not only brings peace, but also division. When faced with opposition and division, disciples of Christ stand firm while loving and respecting their opponents.

    Luke 12:49-56 “The Limits of Peace” INTRODUCTION The night sky was cloudless and filled with stars. Shepherds watched their flocks, while they huddled around a campfire.

    People have always been divided about Jesus. I have known folks who are so “sold-out” to Jesus they drive everybody else crazy. They come across like the butcher who wanted to be a good soul-winner, so he took some training in personal evangelism and memorized all the scriptures and ...read more

    Thursday of 29th Week in Course Lumen Fidei Jesus was a very serious Savior. If you were a government official and happened upon a prison where several thousands of persons were enslaved under abysmal conditions, you’d want to free them.
