Really thinking through this today: When Jesus taught, He claimed an authority that didn’t come from the religious establishment of His day (Rabbi’s, etc).  He asserted HIS OWN authority…think about how many times He said “but I tell you…” (Matt 5:22,28,32,34,39,44) HE IS RISEN!

Today has been a great day so far, I can’t help but wait in anticipation for what God’s going to do tonight. Today I echo the prayer of David in Psalm 5:1-3 1 Give ear to my words, O Lord, consider my sighing. 2 Listen to my cry for help, my King and my God, for to you [...]

(Photo is random from Photo.net) “In God you come up against something which is in every respect immeasurably superior to yourself.  Unless you know God as that – and, therefore, know yourself as nothing in comparison – you do not know God at all.  As long as you are proud you cannot know God.  A [...]
