THE RIVER WALK

Read: 1Samuel 14:1-52, John 7:31-53, Psalm 109:1-31, Proverbs 15:5-7

 “Let’s go across to the outpost of those pagans,” Jonathan said to his armor bearer. “Perhaps the Lord will help us, for nothing can hinder the Lord. He can win a battle whether he has many warriors or only a few!” (1 Samuel 14:6)

Relate: If I have my information right, this is the valley between the two cliffs called Bozez and Senah. Jonathan and his guard would have had to come from the hill to the left, Seneh. His original plan was probably to get a view of the Philistine outpost from the top of that hill. He saw them and apparently decided to make his presence known. This would still have been no big risk since there was still a cliff down, and then back up that no army could easily cross. This is why The Philistines have…

Are 83 Percent of Americans Really Christian?

This is an interesting report by ABC news. How many of us really are Christian?

"keep in mind, the world hated Me first"

When writing this blog I was encouraged to explain that when I talk about Christians I don’t mean the 83 percent of Americans who would say they’re Christians.

83 percent of Americans are not following the same Christian faith that I’m speaking about. In fact one poll claims that only 74 percent of Americans actually believe that Jesus died and was resurrected. A key belief in Christianity that makes any percentage of Christians who don’t believe in the resurrection completely null.

Out of those 83% of Americans a much smaller number is what I refer to. Steven Crowder, a political comedian and Fox News contributor recently said that if you asked that 83 percent if they believed that Jesus was the son of God and the only way to heaven, then that percent would drastically drop.

In fact, the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life conducted a study and…

The Power of Prayer is Fact! Keep your eyes and your heart focused on the Lord and your prayers will receive His perfect answer at the perfect time! Praise the Lord Jesus Christ!

So I want the men to pray in every place, lifting up holy hands without anger or dispute.

– 1 Tim 2:8 NET

“The true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father seeks such people to be his worshipers. God is spirit, and the people who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.”—“Then you will call out, and the Lord will respond; you will cry out, and he will reply, ’Here I am.’”—“Whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him.”

Now without faith it is impossible to please him, for the one who approaches God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.—But he must ask in faith without doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed around by the wind. For that person must not suppose…

Morning Devotional

This the single most important and primary defining statement of all Christians. Praise the Lord Jesus Christ for He has risen and now sets at the right hand of God our Father in heaven above.

“But now is Christ risen from the dead.” — 1Co 15:20

The whole system of Christianity rests upon the fact that “Christ is risen from the dead;” for, “If Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain: ye are yet in your sins.” The divinity of Christ finds its surest proof in his resurrection, since he was “Declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead.” It would not be unreasonable to doubt his Deity if he had not risen. Moreover, Christ's sovereignty depends upon his resurrection, “For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living.” Again, our justification, that choice blessing of the covenant, is linked with Christ's triumphant victory over death and the grave; for “He…

Vincent Van Gogh is a huge favorite of mine. My wife and I have visited his museum in Amsterdam. I never knew he had such thoughts of God.
