Here is the point of the confrontation: to “regain” (the Greek verb means “gain” or “earn”) the one who wronged you. The NIV captures the sense of the Greek with “you have won your brother over.” Jesus could not be more obvious about the purpose of the confrontation. It isn...
The actor whoplays Jesus is a hardcore, pope-worshipping Roman Catholic who greatly desires to ‘convert’ born again and Bible-deficient Christians to Rome and its Pontifex Maximus. We wrote about this over a year ago, showing you Jonathan Roumiestanding in the head of th...
Well, my dear sister in Christ, for a Christian this condition shouldn’t apply. Why? Because of who we are and what we have in Jesus Christ. Indeed, the entire book of 1 Peter offers an impressive list of the benefits and privileges and assurances we enjoy as believers in Christ. Pete...
I just read what you said Diane and please know the lord will not ever leave your side but there comes a time when we must ask for forgiveness by repenting our sins plus rebuking the devil in the name of jesus. Remember as long as you have faith as big as a mustard seed our lord ...

Jesus said unto him, “if it is my will that he remain until I come, what is that to you? You follow me!” John 21:22 What is that to you? You follow me! Jesus lovingly but pointedly redirects Peter’s focus. Don’t worry about him and what I have for him. You follow me!
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” (John 14:6) “I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and find pasture … I have come that they may have life, and that they ma...
