Still Thinking!

Not ready to blog my thoughts on this passage yet. I am still mulling it around in my head, which sometimes takes a while for a simple man like myself. I will blog about it tomorrow. In the mean time, have you come to any conclusions as to what the "message spoken by angels" is?

Three witnesses proves authenticity of the message of salvation: 1.). The Lord -- "the Lord Jesus Himself"; 2.) "those who heard Him" -- eyewitnesses to Jesus' ministry; 3.) "God...by signs, wonders...."

The idea of having three witnesses prove authenticity of salvation would add more teeth into what the author of Hebrews was trying to convey. Its message would be less refutable.

1 John 5:9-12

"We accept man's testimony, but God's testimony is much greater because it is the testimony of God, which He has given about His Son. Anyone who believes in the Son of God has this testimony in his heart. Anyone who does not believe God has made Him out to be a liar, because he has not believed the testimony God has given about His Son. And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He who has the Son has life, He who does not have the Son of God does not have life." 1 John 5:9-12 I love apologetics, but the one thing that I find hard to reason with people, who want no part of Christ, about is this confirmation in my Spirit about the things of God. I know that I know that I know that Jesus is the Son of God and has given me life! I know this testimony to be real because I live with this reality in my heart! God has testified about His Son in my heart through the working of the Holy Spirit, but how do you explain this to ...

1 John 4:7-12

"Dear, friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. This is how God showed His love among us: He sent His one and only Son into the world that we might live through Him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and His love is made complete in us." 1 John 4:7-12 John gives us clear direction in this passage to love another. By loving one another, we give people the best visible evidence of a loving God! Love is a benchmark in your relationship with Christ, as a matter of fact, John says clearly that if you don't love then you don't know God. Is John just blowing smoke? Of course not! We, who claim to be followers of Ch...

Day 4 in the Philippines 2011

First of all, I want to shout, "Praise the Lord!" We had at least 5 young men make a decision to follow Jesus Christ at Basketball camp! I had asked everyone to pray for the coaches who were sharing the Gospel, and God used them in powerful ways. There were some in the first camp who were not sure, but were challenged to think about it. We will follow up with them today. I haven't talked to all the coaches after the second camp, so there may have been more decisions. After the usual breakfast routine, we headed to the church. The morning was freed up for me to spend some time shadowing Tori helping with the Precious Jewels Camp. This is a camp for the mentally challenged students that many of our people at FBC sponsor. It was great watching her interact! I loved watching them play with her hair! They just loved on her! Tori had the opportunity to share her testimony through an interpretor, and did a fantastic job! I am so proud of her... it took courage and sh...
