There was an article that I read this morning that really resonated with me. It is convicting, humbling, and edifying. And usually, I would not post a “reaction” article to something I read in anything other than the Bible, but I think that at times information needs to be shared among each other in theContinue reading “Rationalizing Your Actions”

John’s “Verily” Series: c. 6 v. 47
Welcome back to another “cup of coffee” length post about Jesus’ “Verily, verily” statements as recorded by John. As I have said before, I believe these statements were intentionally written beginning “Amen, amen” to draw specific attention to the lessons being taught by Jesus. Of course, all of the teachings of Jesus are important. However,Continue reading “John’s “Verily” Series: c. 6 v. 47″
Change in Your Lens
I just woke up from a dream that the earth imploded sending me to a different planet. My only objective once realizing I am in another place is to find my guys, especially, for some reason, my youngest son. So go ahead and read this, analyze it, and tell me what you think about it.Continue reading “Change in Your Lens”
Love One Another
There are so many statements in the Bible that state what we are to do with or to “one another”. The first and foremost of these commands is to “Love one another.” John 13:34 states: “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you alsoContinue reading “Love One Another”
John’s “Verily” Series: c. 6, v. 32
Here we go again. The “Verily, verily” series that I have been learning about. I am trying to get through the book of John searching out the statements that Jesus made beginning with “Verily, verily” (as in the KJV).

Quiet Time
Did you know that having “quiet time” is very important principle that Jesus Himself exemplified for us?

John’s “Verily” Series: ch.5 vs.24,25
I hope you have had an amazing week. It has been a busy, busy week. I think that Spring is that season of the year where many begin to “wake up” from the hibernation of the cold winter. We begin to perform our “To Do” list that we have been thinking about during the winterContinue reading “John’s “Verily” Series: ch.5 vs.24,25″
John’s “Verily” Series: John ch5 v19
The “Verily, verily” statement in this verse is “Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of his own accord, but only what he sees the Father doing. For whatever the Father does, that the Son does likewise. (ESV)” As I said last week, the big idea of this passage is thatContinue reading “John’s “Verily” Series: John ch5 v19″
