We are still in the beginning of a new year, and such notable progressions of time should give us pause to “examine ourselves” as per 2 Corinthians 13:5. YOU are the ONLY YOU God has. Satan knows who you are IN CHRIST, and relentlessly tries to minimize your vision of your life. Conversely, the Lord Jesus has a personal curriculum …
The Time of Your Life
Biblically speaking, the overarching entity of TIME is chronos, while the moments that make it up are kairos (“the right measure and relation, especially concerning time and place”). 2015 will be The Time (kairos) of Your Life (chronos). Each kairos moment represents a “Photo Op!” that is, an opportunity for you to say or do something that will show up …
What Child Is This?
You may never have heard “the Christmas story” set forth like John will do it in this exciting exposition of the birth of Christ, one of The Top Five events thus far in His-story. Do you have a child? If so, you can certainly remember when you found out you were going to be a dad. Then you had nine …
The Prescription for Truth Decay: “It Is Written”
From the title of this teaching, you no doubt recognized those three words as the “motto,” if you will, of the only human being who ever walked with God in perfect obedience—in thought, word, and deed. Jesus said it about 30 times. Why was he a fanatic about “every jot and tittle” in the Word of God? Because he knew …
Light Up Your World
Don’t miss this very practical presentation, which could be sub-titled, Daily Opportunities to Shine or Not-so-Secret Agents for the Lord. In it John exposits many scintillating scriptures. Jesus said that his followers were to be “the salt of the earth” and “the light of the world.” He said that the key to manifesting his life in the world is to …
Should Women Be Allowed To Teach In The Church?
Does the Bible say that women should keep silent in the Church? Ha! Ha! Ha! Are you serious? Have you ever tried to keep a woman quiet? Don’t you think God knows that is impossible? Just kidding, ladies. The truth is that Jesus Christ was the greatest emancipator of women who has ever lived, and that the apostle Paul followed …
Think About What You’re Thanking About
“Thank GOD!” Perhaps you have exulted that oft-used exclamation in a moment of ecstasy about something that happened to you—or didn’t happen. When you did, weren’t you rather consumed by a good feeling? And at that moment you were not thinking about whatever problems are in your life, were you? Giving thanks to God and the Lord Jesus focuses you …
ARE YOU GETTING ENOUGH SON?
If you live in a seasonable climate, you are probably loving the warm weather that May brings and the opportunity to soak up some vitamin D-filled sunshine. In college, we sun-worshipers called that “getting some ‘bennies’” (i.e., beneficial rays of the Sun). Little did I know back then that I would one day worship The Son and get way more …
THE AGONY AND ECSTASY OF GOD
This month we celebrate the Resurrection of our Savior, The Man Who is the Plan Because the First Man Ran, and I am extremely excited about this FOD letter—NO FOOLIN’! In fact, as per 1 Corinthians 2:8, Satan is the “April Fool” for crucifying Jesus. The topic that came to me when I was thinking about what to write is …
THE DEARTH OF TRUTH
Hey, this is the only month of the year with a command: “March Forth!” So let’s do it! We can be assured that The Captain of our Salvation will lead us to victory, if we get up and follow him. Remember that TLTF stands for The Living TRUTH Fellowship, and our motto is, “Magnifying Jesus Christ, The Living Truth.” Did …
