Another John Weekly Message

This kind of attention helps us see what we otherwise miss. And most of us miss a lot. Flaneuring might also help us wander with intention in our walk with God.

All of scripture teaches us to trust in God's faithfulness and mercy. So, don't leave any of it out!

As Jesus people, we have the authority to teach God's truth and share the love of God. Now, let's not confuse our authority.

When we go with our tendencies, we're prone to build more for ourselves.

That's what makes what happened at Pentecost so important. The church wasn't formed at that moment. It was fully clothed, empowered and fully equipped to begin its work without Jesus.

I do not want to imagine facing death without our faith in Christ. I can't imagine what I would think and what I would feel if I did. Through Christ's resurrection, I can celebrate that life with God never ends. And I can also trust the Lord knows the pain I experience.

Let's not only wish and hope our youth grow up to be faithful adults. Let's not keep our kids busy with church-y stuff, hoping that does the trick. Instead, let's be willing to do whatever we need to do to prepare them to find Jesus-centered answers.

As we seek to be faithful to God, we'll need to keep praying.

We should thank God for the people that share in the gospel with us as well.

God abides with us through the Word, Christ Jesus, and through the word, scripture.

Grant us wisdom Grant us courage

I do want us to remember God's commandments. As much I as do and as much as I want you to, please believe God wants you to more.

If Christians are not using the Bible to win arguments against people they disagree with, chances are they're using the Bible to affirm their own sense of purpose.

Only God can judge my soul. But the fruit of my pursuit of God's kingdom is for all people to see.

You don't need God's authority, anointing or power to be a country club.

So, when it comes to our shared ministry, let's not take the long way home.

Can God trust us with kingdom ministry?

So, what do we do if we aren't those natural peacemaking people?

That reminds me of when someone once asked me why I don't talk more about the devil.

There has never been a time when access to scripture was so abundant as it is today.
