Born of Water and Spirit

Ron & Nathele Graham -   twotug@embarqmail.com Nicodemus was a Pharisee who had heard Jesus speak and had seen the miracles He did. He was curious about these things and wanted answers. As a group, the Pharisees had many prejudices against Jesus. Instead of asking Him about what they heard Him say and saw Him do, these men only wanted to discredit and condemn Him. Nicodemus was part of this group, but instead of  going along with his peers he decided to go to Jesus and ask questions. That is an important lesson to learn. If you are curious about Jesus don't just go along with your peers, ask questions.  "The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him." John 3:2.  Nicodemus acknowledged that Jesus was a great teacher and that the miracles He did could only be done by God's power. This same acknowledgement is made by...

Love is greater than moral conscience

by absolutegrace https://absolutegrace.wordpress.com/author/absolutegrace/ This post may seem out of character for me.  There are items in the news which I see differently from some of my conservative and Christian counterparts.  Usually I abstain from sharing my feelings on social or public media because, honestly, doing so rarely changes anything.  And that might be the case now, too, but I cannot keep silent this time. In increasing numbers, Christian behaviour is at the forefront in the media, and to put it mildly, it is not perceived as loving. I am deeply grieved by how the “moral conscience” of some are driving people away from Christ, rather than drawing them near. Christians—your actions are speaking louder than Jesus’ words.  How can those outside of Christ know his love if we refuse to serve them, stubbornly judge, or by our deeds, reject them? Jesus called us to LOVE, His message was LOVE, and His ministry was a...

THE SIGN OF JONAH, 3 DAYS, 3 NIGHTS

By Pastor Mike Taylor 1st Corinthians 15:3 “For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 15:4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third dayaccording to the scriptures: 15:5  And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: 15:6 After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep.” This spring season, most of world celebrates the risen Lord. It is something we must all celebrate and give thanks to God our Father for sending His Only Begotten Son to die for the sins of you, and for me. We give Him well deserved praise and glory for the plan of redemption and the single most important aspect of that redemption, His own resurrection. His resurrection will be the first fruits of our own resurrection when Jesus breaks forth from the clouds with power and great glory to redee...
