A Christian Life

38 Coming up to them at that very moment, she gave thanks to God and spoke about the child to all who were looking forward to the redemption of Jerusalem. 19 And he directed the people to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves. Then he gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people. 15 One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God in a loud voice. 16 He threw himself at Jesus' feet and thanked him--and he was a Samaritan. 26 While they were eating, Jesus took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying, "Take and eat; this is my body." 27 Then he took the cup, gave thanks and offered it to them, saying, "Drink from it, all of you. 34 Now I urge you to take some food. You need it to survive. Not one of you will lose a single hair from his head." 35 After he said this, he took some bread and gave thanks to Go...

 "Come, follow me," Jesus said, "and I will make you fishers of men." Matt 4:19 Those which take this verse lightly, forget what happened to the Apostles. To stand for truth while being persecuted is not easy, many come to churches to have titles, positions and to boast about their knowledge and "gifts", they chase wealth, health and prosperity but let us see how many of them would face walking from town to town, beatings, stoning, hunger, cold, rain, thirst, being boiled alive and sickness all just to tell someone else one story, very few that I have laid my eyes upon would do that for people they love but no-one for those who do not deserve it, no-one for their enemy. Come and follow me they left everything, they were chosen and given to Jesus for His ministry, and for the Gospel, their message would be taken to the whole world, but here we see Jesus' calls to follow Him in both senses, to learn from Him while abiding with Him and to follow late...

Thou hast prompted him(man), that he should delight to praise thee, for thou hast made us for thyself and restless is our heart until it comes to rest in thee. Confessions - Book 1 St. Augustine

Our guest Sean McDowell from Worldview Ministries answers the question "Is God a Human Invention?"

Matt 4:17 From that time on Jesus began to preach, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near." John has been imprisoned his voice now silenced but Jesus shows complete agreement with John's message and a continuation "Repent" turn for the kingdom of heaven is near, Jesus is calling those who hear to turn to God to turn toward the kingdom of heaven which is where God is. The word repent here means - to change one's mind or purpose - I repent, change my mind, change the inner man (particularly with reference to acceptance of the will of God). - Jesus is calling people to think on Godly/heavenly things and to turn toward those things. The call is still the same today as it was then to make the things of the Lord important to keep them sacred and to follow the Godly way to turn away from the worldly activities which reap only worldly benefits. BUT then our Lord says "for the kingdom of heaven is near" this could be an encouragement to some or sc...

Jesus said to him, "Away from me, Satan! For it is written: 'Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.' " Matt 4:10 Amazing the temptation of Jesus, have you noticed what was missing during the temptations and what was included. Satan wasn't telling Jesus what God was saying he didn't remind Jesus of God's words for God's sake, then when he realized that Jesus knew God's word he tried to twist scripture to suit his own goal when this failed he tries the subtle approach with just all the world's empires up for grabs. If any human had been placed under those temptations we would have thought nothing of it had they accepted it, using your "gifts" for your needs but wait are we supposed to use our gifts for God's glory? Then you're such valuable person God will save you he says so right, then hey I can give you so much and so much comfort just give me your vote. As the character playing Satan said in the1997 movie Devil...
