Reflect Christ

2 Corinthians 5:19 That is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing (not holding against) their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation.  

You have been entrusted to represent Jesus to the world, and the only Bible some will read is what they see in you. You have been given the ministry of reconciliation to help break down barriers between individuals as well as your life reflecting the goodness of God. 

Jesus says in Matthew 5:16 "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven." When the nature of the Lord is being reflected through you, others will want to receive what you have. 

Who Are The Chosen, The Called & The Elect - Theology 101

Award Winning Author,

Theology 101 in Bite-Size Pieces:
A Bird's Eye View of the Riches of Divine Grace

The word theology tends to lead people to think that it is only meant for seminarian scholars; however, the word speaks for itself by the sole definition of "the study of God's Word." Theology 101 takes a fresh look at God's Power, Character, Love, Nature, and what the finished work of Christ meant to the world in bite size portions.

It offers scripturally based truths of some of the riches of His Divine Grace that include answers to thought provoking questions such as what is predestination; who are the chosen; the called, and the elect.

The author uses everyday language to explain what it means to be justified, reconciled, forgiven, and offers a clear and easy to understand explanation of why practicing merited grace contradicts Christ's finished work on the cross.

Pilgrim Platform Books, Great Reads, Great Ministry

See into one man's theology turned rightside up by the love of Christ. A pastor, born again in the pulpit, encounters the world and the church in the light of the gospel — and everything changed.

Crisis of ...

What? The American economy? The Stock Market? Eight years of Bush policies? How about a hundred years of liberal indoctrination!

If we can't see the right problem or see the problem rightly, we cannot find the right solution. If we don't understand the disease, we cannot prescribe a medication. Apart from a proper diagnosis, doing something may be worse than doing nothing. America is in serious denial of her real situation. Seeing the problem, putting the problem in the correct context, is everything.

What Can We Do?

The first thing to do is to see the problem in its proper context, its historical context, its cultural context. That is what these books are about, helping people see the problem from a biblical perspective. However, unrepentant sinners do not want to see what the Bible is trying to show us because the perspective of the Bible threatens them — and rightly so. For the past hundred years or so unrepentant sinners have had increasing control of American public education, media and even religious institutions. People have been steeped in godlessness for so long that they no longer even realize it. These books provide insight and instruction intended to repair the breaches.

Be That Unmovable Rock

Our natural instinct is to do unto others as they do to us. However as believers, as Christian's, we are called to a higher calling and within that calling is love. So how do we love the unlovable? How do we return good for evil?

By allowing the love of Christ to flow through us, and applying the fruits of the spirit while simply being Christ like. The key is not to become offended.

Mortage Melt Down

Times seem to be becoming more and more unstable. The world seems to be encountering major difficulties, financial problems and a host of other very serious problems. I believe that are all simply a part of the prophetic time clock ticking, as written in the scriptures.

Regardless, Christ is the rock, the sure foundation, and I believe that there is favor over His called and chosen, His flock and bride.

He That Is

He is the way, the truth and the life. The Christ, the Son of God, and no one comes to the Father but through Him. When we seek Him, we find Him. When we knock on the door, Jesus is on the other side. Jesus is more than just words written in the pages of the bible. The Kingdom of God is not some far distant galaxy in the universe. To come to know Jesus, and experience the Kingdom of God, is to share intimate fellowship with Christ as King.

May you be blessed as you seek His face, experience His love, and come to know Him intimately.

Blessings to you in Christ

Upon What Rock Was Jesus Speaking Of

Mat 16:15 He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? (THE QUESTION)

Mat 16:16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. (THE ANSWER)

Mat 16:17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. (REVELATION FROM THE FATHER)

Mat 16:18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. (WHAT ROCK)

Upon This Rock

Mat 16:13 When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?

Mat 16:14 And they said, Some [say that thou art] John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets.

Mat 16:15 He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?

Mat 16:16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.

Mat 16:17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed [it] unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.

Mat 16:18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

Mat 16:19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

Mat 16:20 Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was Jesus the Christ.

For flesh and blood did not reveal it to him. The revelation came from the Father which is in heaven.

Blessings, in Christ

Spiritual Rock

1Cr 10:1 Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;
1Cr 10:2 And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;
1Cr 10:3 And did all eat the same spiritual meat;
1Cr 10:4 And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.

Blessings in Christ
