Isaiah 55:1 says "Ho, everyone that thirsteth, come ye to the waters..." John 4 :14 offers to any who will drink of the water that Jesus offered, an everlasting well. Isaiah 44: 3 not only offers a drink, but a full refreshing waterfall - " I will pour water upon him that is thirsty" Christian, [...]
So why did Jesus have to come down here and suffer? Was he not the perfect Man? Hebrews 2:10 says that it was the Father’s will to make the “captain of our salvation perfect through sufferings.” Now we ought not to assume that this perfection was either spiritual or mental, since He was in soul [...]
In Deuteronomy 3: 28, God tells Moses to give Joshua charge over the tribes of Israel and that He would lead the people to take the land. His words are lost to us too often today " Encourage him" . There is a dearth today in the church today of encouragers. We are good at [...]
I think we have cheapened the conversion decision.Not to say that is should not be as easy as Jesus said. But " Pray this prayer" , we say- no different that the Roman church: "repeat this confession of faith and we will baptize you with sprinkling of water for eternal life ". Real faith is [...]

It seems that it should be opposite, but there is a reason. Tragedies reset our priorities and often give us a deeper meaning to [...]
2016 has surely had it’s mix of seasons, but may we reflect on the purpose in Jesus Christ? Are we made softer by the rain? .. or have we allowed the storms to harden the soil of our hearts? Only faith can open the heart and allow us to grow and be made better through [...]
The Holy Ghost is the third Member of the Holy Trinity- 4 times in the New Testament ( KJV) called the Holy Spirit; 90 times( KJV) called the Holy Ghost.Likely the reason for the different denotations is that the one is His name , the other His wonderful influences in the hearts and lives of [...]
Jesus could likely have not said anything more offensive to the human mind , especially the Jewish mind, than this in John 6:48-58.
