Where are the doubting Greeks now?
One wore the crown of the greatest act of love from God to mankind! “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” – Jesus John 15:13 “For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.” – 1 Corinthians 1:18 “For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: but we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; but unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, … Continue reading Where are the doubting Greeks now?

“Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek the LORD: look unto the rock whence ye are hewn, and to the hole of the pit whence ye are digged…..My righteousness is near; my salvation is gone forth, and mine arms shall judge the people; the isles shall wait upon me, and on mine arm shall they trust. Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath: for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment, and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner: … Continue reading Forever
The Greatest Commandment
What is the greatest sin according to Jesus? I guess that depends on what is the greatest commandment. Here is what Jesus said is THE GREATEST COMMANDMENT: “ ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment.” – Matthew 22:37,38 So, if we don’t have a passionate love for God then something is greatly off with us. To break the greatest commandment is to commit the greatest sin. So, how does one get this kind of love for God? “We love … Continue reading The Greatest Commandment

“Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them. We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.” – 1 John 4:4-6 “Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I … Continue reading Covered with diamonds
How the world seduces
“And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables?….And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word, and THE CARES OF THIS WORLD, and the deceitfulness of riches, and THE LUSTS OF OTHER THINGS entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful. And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred.” – Mark 4:13, 18-20 “Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is now come, that … Continue reading How the world seduces

As was predicted by Paul the Apostle in Ephesians 3:21 “Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.” – Ephesians 3:21 “For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.

Will ye?
“From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him. Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away? Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life. And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God. Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil? He spake of Judas Iscariot the son of Simon: for he it was that should betray him, being one of the twelve.” – … Continue reading Will ye?
