                The Bible tells us in Luke 9:51-56, “And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be received up, he steadfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem, and sent messengers before his face: and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him.  And they did not receive him, because his face was as though he would go to Jerusalem.  And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from...

In Luke 17:12-19 you find the story of the ten lepers:   “And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off: And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, master, have mercy on us.  And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests.  And it came to pass, that as they went, they were cleansed.  And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God.  And fell down on his face at his...

The Bible tells us in Hebrews 11:6, “For without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.” Let's review our three very important takeaways from this series: Notice the word “cometh”.  The Greek tense for the word “cometh” is in the continual tense, meaning it is discussing those who continually come to God.  It could read “those that cometh and cometh and cometh to God”.  It describes a continual, communicative relationship. When we continually come to God, we must...

“Everything happens for a reason.”  I have well meaning Christians repeat this popular Christian phrase after some tragedy occurs.  I truly believe Christians share this with each other in order to make themselves feel better about things they may not fully understand.   While I certainly agree with this statement, it must be qualified!  Yes ‘everything happens for a reason’ but many times the reason something happens is not our good God!  You see there is a good God, a bad devil, a cursed world and stupid people!  When tragedy occurs let’s not blame it on a good God but let’s...
