“So anyone who eats this bread or drinks this cup of the Lord unworthily is guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord. That is why you should examine yourself before eating the bread and drinking the cup. For if you eat the bread or drink the cup without honoring the body […]

Discerning the body
3s
Past, present, future; three primary colors, Father, Son, Holy Spirit, a cord of 3 strands, water, ice, vapor; vanilla, chocolate and strawberry… There is a certain completeness about 3. The reason it came up this week, is that in teaching about the Holy Spirit in jail, I found myself explaining that there are three kinds of […]

Action
Question: Are we to walk like Jesus and do what He did? Question: Does that apply to you? Most agree in theory, but are totally lacking in experience. Matthew 9 (NIV) I want you to know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins.” So he said to the paralyzed man, […]

Faith Building
I’m excited to report that every night and most days on this 10-day mission trip in Brazil, we are seeing miracles. Not just a few. The numbers are increasing every day, and for a “missionary” the goal is to be used by God for Kingdom work. This is really hard for my left brain. Letting […]
