.. who was born in one of the humblest places on earth .. who, from a young age, sought God with all his heart, soul, and mind .. who submitted to authorities over him, especially his parents .. who possesses wisdom and a clear mind for everything .. who grew and lived in harmony with those around him .. who spent the best years of his life ministering to his family .. who, despite his noble birth, humbled himself to be like a...

To love like Jesus  simply means death to yourself and life to  others. (photo from googl...

Nobody is unassailable to pain. We cry..over..various ..things..  (photo from google) However, have we ever shed tears for God? Have we wept over our inability to really love Him? I know the focus is not on how much we love Him but on how much He loves us. Nonetheless, have we ever cried because of Him? Were there times that our hearts were so overwhelmed by His love that we burst out sobbing? Yes, God wants...

Mat_2:18  In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not. Comfort me not when God wounds me. Leave me in His hands. (photo from google) Psa 51:8  Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.                ...

" Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." ~ Matthew 5:3 ~ (photo from google) Bless Your Name Lord for I was born poor. In lacking the luxuries of this world, I was averted from self-indulgence. Bless Your Name Lord for I grew up poor. Always in need. Always in want. Those made me depend on You. Bless Your Name Lord for I stayed poor. I cannot have what others have, and I cannot do what...

(photo from google) Thick dusts clogged my nostrils. I am besieged on every side by clamoring people over a disfigured body hanging on the tree. Looking around, I saw eyes filled with rage. Surely, this man’s crime is unforgivable. As I survey the whole scene, my eyes caught a glimpse of some men and women on the far side. Their faces painted sorrow. I shook my head in disgust. Soon, the yelling grew louder. What a blood...

(photo from google) Have you been afraid sharing your salvation testimony in front of a crowd? I did. Wish I could say that I’m not because it is not for my sake that God gave me that chance, but for His name to be glorified. Like now, I’m risking vulnerability whenever I share my testimony. It is easy to honor God for His provisions, His help in times of trouble, and His sanctifying work in us. However, there’s the tendency...

(photo from google) How can I provide comfort to a hurting brother or sister when my sympathetic words or deeds merely aggravate their wounds?  How can I persuade them to take heart in the promise of God in Romans 8:28 when tragic circumstances escalate?  How can I turn myself into a pillar of strength for those who turn to me for comfort when I am also wounded and bruised?  The answer to these is that I...

Jesus stated many radical things in the Bible. Many got offended and left. Will you also walk away? Why do you follow Jesus? Is it more because of His Person  than His provisions?

(John 6:66-67)

Luke7:23  And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.

What think ye? They  answered and said, He is guilty of death.   Then did they spit in his face, and buffeted him; and others smote him with the palms of their hands, Saying, Prophesy unto us, thou Christ, Who is he that smote thee?                                            ~Matthew 26:68~   My...
