We are kicking off our seventh season of "That They May All Be One" and it is an exciting time for us! This season the LORD has placed on my heart eighteen episodes covering a wide variety of topics and issues. We are also for the first time going to be doing one to two short videos each week bringing even more current content! This season is a return to the very first Scripture the LORD placed on my heart many years ago - Jeremiah 1:7, "everywhere I send you you shall go and all that I command you you shall speak." Every topic is one the LORD has placed upon my heart and I know it is important for believers and the church. Amen. Lastly, this season is special as it is the first time the LORD has granted for me to have a completely separate office devoted to CHRIST, this ministry, study and prayer. Praise be to the LORD JESUS CHRIST for entrusting this gift. I know, "To whom much is given much is required." May the LORD bless and use it for HIS glory, praise and kingdom. Amen.

The first episode comes from the gospel of Luke:
51 When the days were approaching for His ascension, He was determined to go to Jerusalem; (Luke 9:51)

The LORD JESUS had just confirmed to the disciples HE was indeed the CHRIST. But, HE was also beginning to share that the mission of the CHRIST was not to come in and overthrow the Romans, but to suffer, die and rise again. The LORD JESUS had set HIS face like flint towards Jerusalem to finish the mission the FATHER sent HIM to accomplish - salvation for the lost for all the people GOD had given HIM! JESUS knew what awaited HIM in Jerusalem and for the joy set before HIM HE pressed on. How much more should we, HIS slaves, unworthy of even being called unworthy, deny ourselves and follow HIM where HE leads!

The church has never been in more need of realignment than today. The last dying gasps of the evil one are more and more diabolical and deceitful! HIS time is short and he is full of wrath. The church, especially the western church, is in desperate need to not feel comfortable...but alarmed, repenting and urgently seeking the LORD'S face! In short, we must be like our KING JESUS following in HIS steps - resolved to finish HIS works and be with HIM where HE is and see HIM as HE is! Amen!

Scriptures used in this episode (other than those mentioned) are:

23 And He was saying to them all, “If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross daily and follow Me.
24 “For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake, he is the one who will save it.
25 “For what is a man profited if he gains the whole world, and loses or forfeits himself?
26 “For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when He comes in His glory, and the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.
(Luke 9:23–26)


57 As they were going along the road, someone said to Him, “I will follow You wherever You go.”
58 And Jesus said to him, “The foxes have holes and the birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.”
59 And He said to another, “Follow Me.” But he said, “Lord, permit me first to go and bury my father.”
60 But He said to him, “Allow the dead to bury their own dead; but as for you, go and proclaim e

Well, it is a sudden end to Season 6 of “That They May All Be One”…but for very purpose of declaring the praises of the LORD JESUS CHRIST!

The main message I always want people to hear is the gospel, the very best news ever! Regardless if you are a non-believer or a believer (especially a believer) the gospel is great amazing eternal news!!!!

This last episode of season 6 I make a comparison of planning a vacation to seeking the Kingdom of GOD.

Take time to watch or listen…it could save your life!

Philippians 3:10–14 (NASB95): 10 that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death;
11 in order that I may attain to the resurrection from the dead.
12 Not that I have already obtained it or have already become perfect, but I press on so that I may lay hold of that for which also I was laid hold of by Christ Jesus.
13 Brethren, I do not regard myself as having laid hold of it yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead,
14 I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

Luke 14:26–30 (NASB95): 26 “If anyone comes to Me, and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be My disciple.
27 “Whoever does not carry his own cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple.
28 “For which one of you, when he wants to build a tower, does not first sit down and calculate the cost to see if he has enough to complete it?
29 “Otherwise, when he has laid a foundation and is not able to finish, all who observe it begin to ridicule him,
30 saying, ‘This man began to build and was not able to finish.’ “

This discipleship episode deals with a soap box topic of mine. I hear this so much it is just plain irresponsible for a believer to act this way, especially if they claim to love the LORD JESUS.

You might think from the title I don’t like books. You would be wrong. Granted I don’t’t have as much time to devote to reading other materials. Nor do I posses the reading ability of my wife. However, there are several authors whom I have been blessed of the LORD to read and learn from.

No, what I am in reference too here is when I engage with, or I hear other believers engaging with believers or non-believers in theological topics. There is nothing wrong with thoughtful or even challenging doctrinal discussions. Indeed, we are call to be able to give an account of the hope that is in us (1 Peter 3). My soap box is believers should never have to say, “well if you just read this book then you will understand.” Or if you are witnessing to someone and they ask you to go over and explain the gospel to them you tell them, “if you read this book it will explain it.” As a believer you should be able to discuss your position (especially the gospel) from the Scriptures based on your own study. Here are the three things I listen for in any encounter regardless-less if I am in the conversation or not:

1. What do you believe?
2. Why do you believe it?
3. Can you personally explain it without having to get another involved - save only the Bible?

If you are unable to answer these three questions - you have no reason to be in a theological discussion - save to learn.

***This does not mean you should not share the gospel. Even if you feel you don’t have the correct wording do not let that hinder you. Indeed, it will be the SPIRIT of GOD who gives you words and insight.***

Please do not give me your books! Just speak to me from the Scripture so I know you are one who desires to make much of the LORD JESUS CHRIST!

Grace and peace to all who are in CHRIST JESUS the LORD.
