Don’t be deceived, my dear brothers. Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. (James 1: 16,17 NIV) Signs of times We don’t think a pig will fly or hell will freeze over. These exposed idioms have been heard over the years during many conversations. They will never happen. Did you think we would see snow and ice near the Gulf of Mexico? The Carolina coast set to have more than a foot of snow while drought conditions taunt the West coast. Signs of […]

  But I call to God, and the Lord saves me. Evening, morning, and noon I cry out in distress, and He hears my voice. He ransomed me unharmed from battle waged against me, even though many oppose me. God, who is enthroned forever, will hear them and afflict them-men who never change their ways and have no fear of God. (Psalms 55: 16-19 NIV) Jesus Jesus, I want to shout from the mountain tops- how great you are! It does not matter if it is evening, morning, or noon you hear our voice.

  “Make every effort to enter through the narrow door, because many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able to. Once the owner of the house gets up and closes the door, you will stand outside knocking and pleading, ‘Sir, open the door for us.’ But He will reply, “I don’t know you or where you come from. Away from me, all you evil doers!” (Luke 13: 24,25, 27 NIV) Impressions Those who pleaded ate and drank with Jesus. So they thought social interaction was good enough. Outside appearance of making strong impressions will not […]

If anyone is ashamed of me and my words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when he comes in his glory and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels. (Luke 9: 26 NIV) Who is Jesus? Who do we say Jesus is today? Jesus asked his disciples, “Who do the crowds say I am?” Some thought Jesus was John the Baptist. Others thought Elijah or a prophet from long ago.
