Last week we wrote about what it means to be childlike when it comes to discovering God. This week we’ll focus on what it means to receive God’s Kingdom. To begin with, we need to know what the Bible means when it refers to the Kingdom of God. A kingdom assumes a king or sovereign. […]
This is an interesting two-part question. It’s essentially asking what is the kingdom of God and how can someone receive it. Consequently, we will answer the receive part first and describe the kingdom of God next week. So let’s see what the Scriptures say about receiving the kingdom as a little child. Jesus said, “Let […]
This question has been asked in many ways throughout the centuries. Even when Jesus was alive, witnesses described events differently. So, we shouldn’t be surprised to read in the gospels recorded by Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, and in letters written by Paul, Peter and others, reports of events that seem to be contradictory. Eyewitnesses […]
The apostle Paul writing to the church in Corinth answered this question in 1 Corinthians 15:35-52. He uses the analogy of the seed and the flower. Our earthly bodies are like the seed. Our heavenly bodies are like the flower. The seed and the flower are very different as our earthly bodies and our heavenly […]
Christians have been ending their prayers, “In Jesus name,” since Jesus’ resurrection and ascension into heaven. Why have they been doing this is a good question. The simple answer is found several times in the Scriptures. In the Gospel of John 14:13&14 Jesus said, “I will do anything you ask in my name…. You may […]
Christians understand that God exists in three personal forms. These three, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, are collectively called The Trinity. While all part of the Godhead, each is distinct but is in a loving communion with each other. The third person of the Trinity, the Holy Spirit, is described as a counselor and a […]
We have just celebrated the resurrection of Jesus and know, from historical accounts, that more than 500 saw him alive during a 40-day period before he left this earth. The question, then, is will he keep his promise about coming again? The Bible tells us that Jesus is actually coming again on two different occasions. […]
Palm Sunday marks the start of Holy Week in the Christian Calendar and marks the day that Jesus entered Jerusalem riding on a donkey as crowds of people cheered and waved palm branches. Almost 600 years had passed since a king in the line of David sat on a Jewish throne in Jerusalem and many […]
Sharing your Christian faith involves risk and potential failure. Sometimes it could even be an embarrassment. Yet there is an urgency about sharing your faith in Christ with those you care about because no one knows if they have a tomorrow. Without faith in Christ, if they die, they are condemned to eternal separation from […]
Some Bible scholars think today’s resistance to the Gospel has always been due to the “hardness of men’s hearts”. (Matthew 13). Also an obstacle is delay…people just put off until later to even think about their relationship to God. Today much of society (humanity) worships idols. Materialism has replaced spirituality which has led people to […]
