On War

The roots of war lie in the family.  As long as there is no peace between husbands and wives and brothers and sisters, there will be no peace in the world.

Change

We are so resistant to change in our lives. And yet it is only through change that we become more like Jesus. Change is the vehicle of the transforming power of the Spirit. 

The Holy Spirit is forever young. He is always new, always changing. We must be careful not to get set in our ways, but must always be open to new ways of thinking and doing. 

The wind blows where it will. You hear the sound it makes but you do not know where it comes from, or where it goes.  So it is with everyone begotten of the Spirit.

Jesus, John 3:8

 

Salvation

My analogy of Jesus sacrifice is as if I was diagnosed with terminal cancer and Jesus took it on Himself for me, saving me from suffering and death. 

My analogy of hell is the movie “Castaway”—all alone on an island with no one to talk to and no hope of escape.  That, combined with the movie “Groundhog Day”, where you can’t die.

That’s why I love and serve Jesus; because He saved me. 

We love Him, because He first loved us.  1 John 4:19
