Pray, Seek, Witness, Work
Twice Jesus spoke the words, “my house.” Once in reference to the Temple and its purpose. Commerce had consumed the atmosphere when Jesus took a whip and beat the money changers.

A Secret
Come close. I want to tell you a secret. It is an axiom of truth, i.e., it will never change. Here it is: “Give and it shall be given unto you!” A few thousand years have passed since Jesus, the Incarnate God – Emmanuel – The I AM that I AM, spoke these words. I […]

That Nothing Be Lost
In a single line, Jesus revealed His nature toward us. It happened at the end of the feeding of the 5,000. After a long day of teaching, the disciples came to Jesus with the need for food. They would have sent the multitude home, but the Lord intervened. Andrew found a little boy’s lunch. John […]

Believe For It
Psa 78:18 And they tempted God in their heart by asking meat for their lust. Psa 78:19 Yea, they spake against God; they said, Can God furnish a table in the wilderness? Psa 78:20 Behold, he smote the rock, that the waters gushed out, and the streams overflowed; can he give bread also? can he […]
