Aligned With the King and Each Other

When Jesus had finished giving orders to His 12 disciples, He moved on from there to teach and preach in their towns. When John heard in prison what the Messiah was doing, he sent a message by his disciples and asked Him, “Are You the One who is to come, or should we expect someone else?”Jesus replied to them, “Go […]

Dark Times

A Healthy Body

Their bodies are not serving them well.The Complete Jewish Bible translated something Paul wrote to the believers in Ephesus (5:29-30) as “Why, no one ever hated his own flesh!

What’s Real?

The Kingdom is Not Boring

I have never had anyone declare to me that the Kingdom of Heaven is boring. It’s a free call: 1-800-getaclue. Call now, while the lines are still open… The Kingdom is the […]

Friends and Work

How many friends do you have on Facebook? How many friends come to throw you a birthday party? How many people do you trust to be speaking for the Spirit of the Lord if they happen to challenge you regarding some thought or word or activity of yours? A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for […]
