Jesus did not pursue success – or influence or impact – in the way of the world. He worked in an almost completely opposite way to what we consider ‘natural’. When Jesus healed a person, he would often ask the healed person to not tell anyone. At other times he would only partially heal, and send the person away from the crowds, from the onlookers, to experience the rest of the healing. When Jesus changed water to wine, he only allowed the servants to see and know what he was doing. Everyone at the wedding tasted the miracle, and in a sense it was the rich that benefitted from it, ...

El propósito de la vida, para todo hombre, mujer y niño, es alcanzar y encontrar a Dios. Conocerle, ahora y siempre. ‘Dios creó a todos los hombres para que lo buscaran, lo alcanzaran y lo encontraran’. (Hechos 17:25-27) Y este último versículo termina diciendo: ‘Él no está lejos de cada uno de nosotros.’ ¿Ha llegado a tu vida la hora de que busques a Dios y lo encuentres? ¿Ha llegado el momento de hacer las paces con Dios, ahora y siempre? Jesús dijo: ‘Yo soy la puerta...’ (Juan 10:9) Peter Walker y su familia viven en Carolina del Norte, Estados Unidos. Para más ...

El corazón puede romperse de muchas maneras y por muchas razones. Sin embargo, en este breve folleto te escribo a ti, que has sido herido por – contra quien ha pecado, de quien se ha aprovechado – otra persona. Me dirijo a los abusados. El corazón roto al que espero hablar es al que le fue robado algo, y ahora le cuesta esperar, sentir, creer. Jesús te ama. Él está contigo. Él persigue y juzgará al que te hizo daño. No sólo pedirá cuentas a tu agresor, sino que en este mismo momento Jesús anhela derramar Su Espíritu sanador sobre ti y darte un ‘corazón nuevo y un ...

Tu experiencia de ‘hogar’ aquí en la tierra es, en el mejor de los casos, una metáfora, y en el peor, una falsa impresión. En cualquier caso –en todos los casos– ningún hogar aquí en la tierra es tu ‘verdadero hogar’. Tu verdadero hogar sólo está en el cielo. Está con Dios, tu Padre bueno y amoroso, tu Creador, y con Su pueblo. Tu verdadero hogar es eterno, cálido, seguro y lleno de Espíritu y vida. No más dolor, mancha, culpa, arrepentimiento, sufrimiento, lágrimas o muerte. Es para siempre. Jesús dijo que Él era la ‘puerta’ al cielo. Pasamos a través de Él ...

20 reflections to help you grow in your new life with Christ. 'Jesus himself came up and walked along with them…’ (Luke 24:15) www.1peter1three.weebly.com

Do you feel the weight of being alone. Do you feel lonely? There are some surface things that could probably change, no mystery there: relationships, people, kindness, activity, maybe a pet? But that comes and goes. There is a much deeper place in your heart, your soul, where only God can access, only God can fill. And it is here – between you and God – that the chasm of loneliness can be filled for evermore. 'Deep calls to deep in the roar of your waterfalls; all your waves and breakers have swept over me.' (Psalm 42:7)

Ever wish you could start over? Go back in time and take a different road? Do you ever wonder when it was, where it was, you lost your true self? Do you look in the mirror and think, ‘This is not who I really am.’ In this life we can’t delete things, or take back things we did. Life is unforgiving. Jesus – ‘God with us’ – said he was a door to a new life. He literally said: ‘I am the door, and anyone who comes through me will be saved.’’ (John 10:9) Are you looking for that door to new life? Do you want to start over?

God does not change like shifting shadows. We know that. He is God. That would be whimsical, undependable. But like any truly loving person, God changes his mind and his heart based on relationships. Right back with Noah and Flood, the very beginning of the Bible and of creation, look what God tells us: ‘The Lord saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become… The Lord regretted that he had made human beings, and his heart was deeply troubled.’ (Genesis 6:5-6) The Lord regretted something he did. Something that he told us earlier he thought was ‘good’. (Genesis 1:31) ...

The most religious and powerful people in Jesus’ time, well, we don’t even know their names. Their glory faded with them. And yet the poor, the uneducated and nameless, well, we know them, their legacy if not their names, and they have changed history. It’s not what they did, but rather what Jesus did for them. You see, when Jesus honors a person, that honor is true legacy. We want to know them, and be known by them, because Jesus honored them. A prostitute who had been healed, one day poured perfume on the head of Jesus. His own disciples, the famous twelve and others, rebuked her, ...

Introduction: Ruins fascinate me. Especially castles and palaces where someone arrogant once ruled, once roared, but now cannot even whisper. They cannot stop even the fading of their memory amongst the living. Memory, only a thing in the minds of mortals, and all mortals destined to die. I’ve heard death described as ‘humiliating’ to mankind. It just happens – heart, mind and body – and there is nothing anyone can do about it. And no matter how high the towers you built, the tomes of wisdom you published, the vaults of money you had or gave away, you disintegrate and disperse ...

Jesus told us there would be false teachers. It’s important to know this so that you are not surprised when you sense deception, nor ashamed if you are ever deceived. ‘Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves.’ (Matthew 7:15) Paul warned Timothy that a time would come when people would reject sound teaching and surround themselves with many teachers (‘many’) that would tell them what they wanted to hear. (2 Timothy 4:3) We see a time when Peter and James – the brother of Jesus – were deceived by some Bible ...

God is here with us. Here on earth. Jesus was called Immanuel, which means, ‘God with us.’ (Matthew 1:23) He’s here with us, but we are still here. There will come a day when we are there with him. Not here anymore. We will cross over. Jesus will still be with us, but not here. He will be with us there. This side of glory, this side of the ‘chasm’, we still battle. The war is won in Christ, but we still battle. We fight against mortality, sin, sorrow, pain. We fight for souls for God’s kingdom here and now, and God's kingdom there and then. This side of the divide we do see, ‘...

Are you tired? Do you wish you could start life over again? Do you wish you could take back things you said, and things you did? Is your heart broken? Have people hurt you, and you wish you could forget? Have you hurt people, and you wish you could forget? Jesus, who is God, has come to earth to save you. He took all of our sin and pain and hurt, and he died with it on the cross. Jesus rose from the dead and offers you – today – a new life, a new start. He offers you forgiveness for your sin, and also healing from what others have done to you. Do you want a new life?

Let’s start by talking about ‘groups’ in life. And when I say groups, I mean friend groups, working groups, gangs, sororities, frats, Freemasons, book clubs, committees, church groups, tennis clubs, country clubs, etc. Groups don’t really exist. I mean, they are a thing, of course, but a fabricated thing. Held together by people’s notions. Take for example that friend group you had a few years ago, where is it now? Or that BFF from school? Or that project group that were ‘so close’? I don’t mean to be cynical here. Not at all. Just trying to get back to those elements in ...

(Excerpt from the Introduction) We find ourselves here without a map! Where do we go? What way do we take? What is life’s purpose? Where is it going? In this short book I want to share with you a ‘map’ that God has given us. We don’t have to be lost. We were made by God, and he has provided us with guidance for this life, and for all eternity. He did not leave us alone – even though it can feel like that sometimes.

It’s the ‘in-between’ time. So much of it. More of it than not. Packing. Unpacking. Sorting. Cleaning up before, cleaning up after. Paperwork. Contingencies. Repairs. More repairs. Returns. Check-ups. Follow-ups. Waiting. Rushing. Getting from this end to that end. Gearing up. Psyching up. Getting through. Trying to wind down. Wondering. Wandering. This, my friend, is not an attitude. This is simply reality. The stats. The breakdown of the clock each day. God said it would be like this. Check out these verses, and then let’s consider… ‘God said to Adam, ‘Because you ate from ...

176 blog posts, 2014-2020. Each with a URL and QR code for easy sharing. Over the last 6 years I have enjoyed posting reflections about Jesus Christ, and his life-changing Gospel. We write on ‘paper’, and indeed the Bible is a ‘written Word’. But Jesus Christ is the ‘Word made flesh’ (John 1:14), and He came to come alive in your heart by His Spirit – the Word off the page...
