Listen to a terrific message, How Man Man Born of Woman Be Justified with God?
Sunday, 9/27/15 Ps 21:1, The king shall joy in thy strength, O Lord;
and in thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice! We (I) have HUGE reasons
to joy and rejoice. Why do we (I) dwell on sad and bothersome topics. Put a
smile on your face: we’re on the winning side!!! At worst, you’ll go to Heaven
today. Ps 23:4a, Yea, though I walk through the valley of the
shadow of death, I will fear no evil. Whether the psalmist followed through
on not fearing or ran away in fear, we don’t know, but he was more likely to
remain brave after making and vocalizing his positive decision. “You miss 100%
of the shots you don’t take.” So, attempt great things for God and expect great
things from God. Nothing ventured; nothing earned.

John 16:7
“Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.”
Several times throughout John 16, Jesus used the words, “these things.” These things that Jesus was talking about were what they would face when He left them. Jesus knew that His time on Earth was short, and He wanted to prepare them so they would continue on after He was gone.
Sunday, 9/20/15 John 7:47-48, Then answered them the Pharisees, Are ye also deceived? Have any of the
rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him? It’s stated in Corinthians that
“knowledge puffeth up.” Be careful if
you’re smart and/or educated: you’ll tend to think that your brains make you
better than another. Rom
10:1, Brethren, my heart’s desire and
prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. What is your heart’s
desire and object of prayer? Is it health? Wealth? Lack of problems? For you or
for your kids? The success of your fantasy football picks? What about praying for the salvation of the
Arabs? ISIS? The abortionists? Mr. Obama? Mr. Obama? Mrs. Clinton? Mr. Trump?
Your neighbor?
John 9:3
“Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.”
The disciples asked Jesus, “Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?”
This was the common thought in those days when someone had a physical
impairment. The foolishness of this thought was that they asked if this
man was born blind because he sinned. How could someone sin before they
were even born? To help the disciples see this from His perspective He
said, “Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.”
Luke 22:40
“And when he was at the place, he said unto them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation.”
Have you ever heard someone say about another person, “They lost
their way?” This is said about someone who allowed something in their
life to change who they are. It is the goal of every Christian to serve
the LORD to the day they die, but the fact is that many Christians have
come and gone through the doors of a church who seemed to lose their way
and are no longer serving the LORD. There are two instances where Jesus
talks about people losing their way.
