    In the last post, I mentioned that I’d be preaching a couple times this week.  Thanks to all of you who were praying for this.  I really believe that God worked in a great way through both of these opportunities.  I, of course, can take zero...

    A few weeks ago, a friend of ours at church told us about his boss at work and about a unique donation that he had given to help missions work.  He works at Cutco, which is a very large knife and kitchen utensil maker.  His boss had heard about rem...

    If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love. This is the culmination of all that Jesus has been talking about up to this point.  When a true follower of Jesus abide...

  • John 15:9

    Posted on Tuesday July 29th, 2008 at 19:19 in Bible, God, Christian life, john 15

    As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love. The love of God is unfathomable.  There is no sin, no error, no mistakes in God.  He is entirely perfect and therefore so is His love.  Jesus brought directly to this earth...

    If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. Hmm, let’s see here, what do I really want?  A professional Canon or Nikon SLR camera would be nice.  Oh, and all the lenses too.  An iP...

  • John 15:6

    Posted on Friday July 4th, 2008 at 13:55 in Bible, God, evangelism, john 15

    If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. Here we have probably the most controversial and misunderstood verse in this passage.  Some common interp...

  • John 15:5

    Posted on Friday June 27th, 2008 at 08:12 in God, Christian life, evangelism, john 15, reliance on christ

    I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. It just doesn’t get much clearer than this, does it?  Jesus says in very clear terms that He, and He...
