Watching With Jesus
Watch with Me." Jesus was saying, in effect, "Watch with no private point of view at all, but watch solely and entirely with Me." In the early stages of our Christian life, we do not watch with Jesus, we watch for Him. We do not watch with Him through

His!
A missionary is someone in whom the Holy Spirit has brought about this realization: "You are not your own" ( 1 Corinthians 6:19 ). To say, "I am not my own," is to have reached a high point in my spiritual stature. The true nature of that life in

Pouring Out the Water of Satisfaction
What has been like "water from the well of Bethlehem" to you recently— love, friendship, or maybe some spiritual blessing ( 2 Samuel 23:16 )? Have you taken whatever it may be, even at the risk of

Roots Or Shoots?
In the life of trees, one key to survival is having more roots than shoots. In his book Oak: The Frame of Civilization,, author William Bryant Logan says, “If a tree puts on a lot of top growth and few roots, it is liable to be weak-wooded and short-lived. . . . If a tree puts down a great deal of roots and adds shoots more slowly, however, it is liable to be long-lived and more resistant to stress and strain.” . . .

The Sorrow Of Betrayal
When I was a boy, my dad observed my spendthrift ways and often said that money burned a hole in my pocket. I suppose it’s not unlike the way those 30 pieces of silver burned a hole in Judas’ heart after he had betrayed Jesus for a little cash. Imagine how he must have felt as he watched his friend Jesus, with hands bound, being led to trial. Judas had seen those hands . . .

Life Lab
Hurricane Andrew struck the US mainland in August 1992. As residents tried to cope with the destruction, scientists turned Florida into a huge laboratory. Teams of researchers descended on the state to measure the storm’s impact on everything from building materials to tropical fish. Psychologists analyzed the hurricane’s influence on children.

Calvary shows how far men will go in sin, and how far God will go for man's salvation.
H. C. Trumbull
Luke 22:33
33When
they came to the place called the Skull, there they crucified him,
along with the criminals—one on his right, the other on his left.
Calvary also shows proof that man is enslaved to sin and a stranger to God by birth since the disobedience of Adam and Eve.
Romans 5:12,19
12 When Adam sinned, sin entered the world. Adam’s sin brought death, so death spread to everyone, for everyone sinned.
19 For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so...

The word preach appears 153+ times in the Bible!
The
word “Preach” in the Webster dictionary says the word “Preach” means
this: To deliver a sermon; To give earnest advice. To proclaim; To
publish in religious discourses; To deliver in public, as a discourse…..
When
people hear the word preach we have a tendency in our minds eye to in

right or go to hell!
With that in mind folks will use the phrase “Well I don’t need to preach to people I just show them with my life”

there is some truth to leading by example...

Loving People, Not Just Words
By Eric Elder
www.theranch.org (http://www.theranch.org)
The day I put my faith in Jesus was the same day I put my faith in
the Bible, from which I learned about Jesus. I fell in love with
both on the same day.
When people talk about how much they love the Bible, they’re not just
talking about a book from which they’ve learned much, they’re also
talking about a Person from whom they’ve learned much.
I suppose it’s like a young...
