Jesus The Great Jewish Teacher

John 17:6-26 New International Version (NIV)  Jesus Prays for His Disciples  "I have revealed you to those whom you gave me out of the world. They were yours; you gave them to me and they have obeyed your word. Now they know that everything you have given me comes from you. For I gave them the words you gave me and they accepted them. They knew with certainty that I came from you, and they believed that you sent me. I pray for them. I am not praying for the world, but for those you have given me, for they are yours. All I have is yours, and all you have is mine. And glory has come to me through them. I will remain in the world no longer, but they are still in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them by the power of your name, the name you gave me, so that they may be one as we are one. While I was with them, I protected them and kept them safe by that name you gave me. None has been lost except the one doomed to destruction so that Scripture woul

The True Presence of God

See The Day Of The Lord Is Coming

A prophecy against Babylon that Isaiah son of Amoz saw: Raise a banner on a bare hilltop,   shout to them; b eckon to them to enter the gates of the nobles. I have commanded those I prepared for battle;   I have summoned my warriors to carry out my wrath— those who rejoice in my triumph. Listen, a noise on the mountains,   like that of a great multitude! Listen, an uproar among the kingdoms,   like nations massing together! The Lord Almighty is mustering   an army for war. They come from faraway lands,   from the ends of the heavens— t he Lord and the weapons of his wrath— to destroy the whole country. Wail, for the day of the Lord is near;   it will come like destruction from the Almighty.   Because of this, all hands will go limp,   every heart will melt with fear.   Terror will seize them,   pain and anguish will grip them;   they will writhe like a woman in labor.   They will look aghast at each other, their faces aflame.   See, the day of the Lord

An Urgent Call for Men

Here is a collection of some of my favorite reflections on men’s discipleship that I’ve posted on Facebook:   Why Reaching Men Is So Urgent: An Example:  Recently, my father-in-law and I had lunch. Our waitress, Stephanie (disguised name), seemed a little down so I struck up a conversation. Her car wouldn’t start and, not having much money, she was overwhelmed. She is 26 years old, a single mom with 6- and 8-year-old boys, and has no family in Orlando. The father of her children isn’t in the picture—he’s a bad actor. So she’s left to raise two sons without a father figure by earning tips. She has a younger brother who, without a positive father figure, is on the cusp of becoming a bad actor too. So I told her about the work we do with men and gave her a copy of The Man in the Mirror for him. When we said grace over lunch, I invited her to join us. She did, and I sensed that God encouraged her heart. What a perfect example of why God wants us to disciple men. Experiences like th

Wedding Prayer

Psalm 128 NRSV Happy is everyone who fears the Lord, who walks in his ways.  You shall eat the fruit of the labor of your hands; you shall be happy, and it shall go well with you.  Your wife will be like a fruitful vine within your house; your children will be like olive shoots around your table.  Thus shall the man be blessed who fears the Lord.  The Lord bless you from Zion. May you see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life.  May you see your children’s children. Peace be upon Israel! Blessed is our Lord Jesus the Savior of all People. Jesus is Lord of Heaven and on Earth.   

Revelation Chapter 7 Verse 9

God is Love 1John 4:16 Jesus is Lord of Heaven and on Earth The Multitude from Every Nation 9 After this I looked, and there was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, robed in white, with palm branches in their hands. 10 They cried out in a loud voice, saying, “Salvation belongs to our God who is seated on the throne, and to the Lamb!” 11 And all the angels stood around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures, and they fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, 12 singing, “Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might be to our God forever and ever! Amen.”

Matthew 5:16 ESV In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven. Psalm 34:8 Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good! Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him! 2 Peter 1:3-10 His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and excellence, by which he has granted to us his precious and very great promises, so that through them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world because of sinful desire. For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue, and virtue with knowledge, and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with steadfastness, and steadfastness with godliness, and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love.
