Were There Not Twelve?

Posted in gospel, Write, tagged , on February 18, 2011| Leave a Comment »

“And he ordained twelve, that they should be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach” – Mark 3:14

Which apostles can you name?

Bartholomew and Thaddaeus were just as anointed as Matthew and John, just as called and important as the later apostle Paul – but there is something most of the original apostles did NOT do – they did NOT write!

Their lives were not wasted, they had purpose and success in their own way, but it was the writers who’s message endured through changing cultures and dynasties.

Not all who write are remembered but, except for our Lord, none are remembered unless they write.

Do you possess a God-given faith? Do you want it to be passed to your children, or to their children?

Write!

It doesn’t have to be much, just done.

Gospel – Like a Cake Mix!

Posted in Faith, gospel, tagged on February 5, 2011| Leave a Comment »

“[B]ut the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.” – Hebrews 4:2b

I’m no cook, but I do know that just putting dry cake mix in the oven doesn’t work – Something has to be added to make it stick together and become an actual cake!

The Gospel is like that,  Faith is required to make it hold together in a person’s life and become a blessing.

Where does the faith come from? God, gives faith for the asking.

Covered Feet

Posted in gospel, tagged on December 8, 2010| Leave a Comment »


[T]ake … the whole armour of God, … your loins girt about with truth … the breastplate of righteousness … your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace” – Ephesians 6:13-15

A person doesn’t need to recognize a battle to be in one. Society may call it an emotional problem, an addiction, a family issue, a legal battle, but unless we recognize the spiritual aspect of our struggles we can’t endure.

The Bible says we have the armor – we just need to put it on and use it!

Third listed is the preparation of the gospel of peace; literally, preparing the good message of God’s peace and prosperity. The focus is not survival but thriving and taking that peace and prosperity of victory to others.

“Praise be to the God … who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.” – 2nd Corinthians 1:3
