Rip The Roof Off!

Rip The Roof Off! These friends that carry paralytic and then rip the roof off to get their friend to Jesus because they had heard of His miracles and healing. Was this the first intervention? Was the paralytic a parable for someone unable  or unwilling to seek His face, His love and His mercy who needed friends and family to intervene to help bring him back from the brink? Not only does Jesus forgive his sins, which came first, but he healed his broken body and told him to arise…

Whom Am I Trying to Persuade?

Whom Am I Trying to Persuade? Looking back through time it’s easy to see what a disaster is left in the wake of ones life. When I look back and see the mountains of debris it is all to easy to see that I was attempting to please others, fit in or satisfy my broken, frail false ego. Don’t misunderstand the debris is still gathering, however, it seems to have slowed substantially. This begs the question, the same question that Paul ask… Galatians 1 CSB 10 For am I now…

While this is one of the shortest, if the…

An Unruly Evil

An Unruly Evil James 3 KJV This is why I am not a teacher, nor even a teachers aid. I am not worthy to carry the books for our Teacher. I am constantly reminded of how powerful the tongue is and the volume of destruction that can and will manifest in an instant when this tiny piece of flesh is allowed to go unchecked. 5 Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things.

Guilty of All

Guilty of All In today’s world of many questions surrounding left, right, man, woman and everything in between this passage seems to ask me to pray a little harder, knock a little softer and seek a whole lot more. James 2 KJV 8 If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well: 9 But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors. 10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend…

Faith Without Works…

Faith Without Works… Book of James is one of my favorite books in the Bible. Short, to the point and does not mix words – just the way I like it! James 1 KJV 1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting. 2 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; 3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. 4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may…
