Recognizing God’s Holiness If you have went your entire life believing you understand God, it is quite discomforting to be confronted with the holiness of who God truly is. For myself, it is always a reminder of how separate we are from Him. How we are incapable of even providing for the breath we breathe,…

15 but as he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, 16 since it is written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy.” 14 Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers.

It’s not the outside that makes us unclean, but the heart.

Fooling Around If you have noticed we are seeing more interactions with the followers, detractors, and the environment around Jesus.

Traditions easily become used as a way to enforce prejudice. Especially after several generations of practice. We can forget to see the needs and the people around us and obey teh command to love them because we are so busy trying to keep our traditions. People are more important than our man-made traditions. Showing mercy is better than not healing on the Sabbath. While we struggle to understand and believe who Jesus really is, the demonic realm is absolutely sure of Him. And they tremble. Too bad we don't. Frequently the world sees Jesus and His followers as those who are out of their minds because spiritually things must be discerned by God's Spirit. His Spirit is in those who believe Him. The Jewish leaders blasphemed God's Spirit by attributing Jesus' works to the power of Satan. Even so, Jesus has come and is making a new family of all those who believe, both Jew and Gentile.

Often, even as followers of Jesus, we find our immediate response regarding behavioral psychological issues to be more in line with an unbelieving, materialistic, naturalistic worldview. This, in spite of the fact that Jesus regularly dealt with, talked about, and affirmed the reality of the meta-physical, the unseen spiritual world in which we live. At the very least, we should pause and pray, consider, and seek the LORD in the situations in which we find ourselves in relation to the people around us in regard to both their and our behavior. Maybe there's more to humans that random, electrical impulses, synapses, and chemicals. Where do we draw the line anyhow? And who gets to decide where that line even is? God has made a world full of powerful elements. Medicine can be good. We ought to trust in God and be wise. We are to live by faith.

It is the holiness of Christ in us, expressed in our living that the world needs in order to drawn to Christ.

Introduction For months Shannon and I have been saying that we almost wish we could just go ahead and get sick with COVID so that the uncertainty would be over. Then, we thought, we would know what it’s like and wouldn’t have to worry about that anymore. If we could go ahead and get it, we’ll probably…

Born Blind - Born Again

1 Then the scribes and Pharisees who were from Jerusalem came to Jesus, saying, 2 “Why do Your disciples transgress the tradition of the elders?
