More Than Just A Prophet Or Miracle-Worker

Jesus shows us many times throughout the Gospels (the books of Matthew, Mark, Luke, & John, the first 4 books of the New Testament) that he is far more than 'just' a Prophet or a miracle worker.

He not only says quite clearly, but shows us again and again, that He is the Son of God, and One with God.

Jesus tells us and shows us that He is the Messiah foretold of in the Old Testament. Here's just one example:

Mark 2:1-12 says --

“And when he returned to Capernaum after some days, it was reported that he was at home. And many were gathered together, so that there was no more room, not even at the door. And he was preaching the word to them. And they came, bringing to him a paralytic carried by four men. And when they could not get near him because of the crowd, they removed the roof above him, and when they had made an opening, they let down the bed on which the paralytic lay. And when Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven.” Now some of the scribes were sitting there, questioning in their hearts, “Why does this man speak like that? He is blaspheming! Who can forgive sins but God alone?” And immediately Jesus, perceiving in his spirit that they thus questioned within themselves, said to them, “Why do you question these things in your hearts? Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Rise, take up your bed and walk’? But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins”—he said to the paralytic— “I say to you, rise, pick up your bed, and go home.” And he rose and immediately picked up his bed and went out before them all, so that they were all amazed and glorified God, saying, “We never saw anything like this!” (ESV)

Cheer for Your Favorite Team!

Martin Luther King Jr. shared a dream he had. With God's help, he brought that dream to fruition in many ways.

Much like MLK Jr., I too have a dream.

I dream of a day when people will, without being hindered or concerned, get up off their seats and cheer and chant and scream their heads off with joy and competitiveness and love for God -- as they now do for their favorite sports team.

With pride, love, and passion for the lover of their souls.


Enjoy the Superbowl this weekend, all of you who will take part in the many celebrations involving it.

But please, also consider -- if you claim to love God -- why you show more passion and zest and zeal for a sports team than for your Almighty God?

Born-Again Christians -- There's No Other Kind

I find that phrase which so many people use, "Born-Again Christian," a silly thing. Here's why: There is in truth no other kind of Christian.

To be a Christian is to believe that Christ is the Messiah, to be a Christ-follower, to consider Him your Lord as well as your Savior.

To truly believe this is to have the Spirit in you, thereby being born again. There is no other kind of Christian.

There are many who are 'Christian' in name only. But I can call myself a Chevy, I can even sit in my garage every Sunday morning, and that won't make me a Chevy.

What Jesus Actually Said

To grow your understanding of the simple truth of it all, please, READ THE GOSPELS FOR YOURSELF. They are the books of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.

These are 4 Apostles' accounts of walking with Jesus, giving account of what He said and did.

If you haven't read at least 1 of these 4 books for yourself, and have only for the most part listened to what others say the Bible says, I urge you -- I'll beg and plead with you -- to read any one of them for yourself.

Don't be typical and simply rely on what I or anyone else says it says. The world has a funny way of changing ever so slightly the meanings and intent of Jesus' actual words to us.


Go here now and begin reading for yourself, the books of Matthew, Mark, Luke, or John. They're in the New Testament, and are referred to as, "The Gospels."


May God bless you mightily through your efforts and reading, if you choose to learn the truth.
