I am being blessed by you devotionals. You must be aware that they are more
like detailed sermon outlines.. Do you get to serve your church in the pulpit
occasionally? I hope so... God Bless, CY |
|
Just a note to express my appreciation for your e-mails and how much they are teaching me. |
|
Right on, Brent!! Great answer on this one. |

Your Real Need |

Mark 2:4-5 And when they could not come near Him because of the crowd, they uncovered the roof where He was. So when they had broken through, they let down the bed on which the paralytic was lying. When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven you.” (NKJV)
Okay, put yourself in the scene. Jesus is in a house teaching. The house is over crowded. A group of guys bring their paralyzed friend to be healed by Jesus. They can't get in the door, but that isn't going to stop them. They go up on the roof of the house, cut a hole and let the guy down right in front of Jesus.
Can you imagine that scene? There were probably people who got mad at the interruption and felt it was unfair they were "cutting in line". I doubt the home owner was too happy about having his roof torn up. | That's just the intro. Read entire devotional here

Five Christian Goals: Proclaiming Christ (Action)
- Part 7 |
| |
Knowledge of the Gospel (head) combined with the conviction to share it with others (heart) leaves us ready to actually figure out how (hands). There are several things to consider about how we utilize our own personal resources towards this purpose. |

Nothing To Whine About
|
| |
Western Christians are a soft, whiney bunch over all. (I know, not YOU... me either). It is such an obvious truth, I'm not going to take your time trying to justify it. |

Who Is Not Getting In to Jesus?
|
| |
It makes me want to step back, turn around, and look to see if I've got my back to people who need Jesus but can't get to Him because I'm in the way. |

Five Christian Goals: Proclaiming Christ (Conviction)
- Part 6 |
| |
Now that we have the knowledge (head) that we need to proclaim Christ to others, we must cultivate the proper attitude and motivation to do so (heart, conviction). It is one thing to KNOW we must share our faith, it's quite another to be truly convicted of the reasons for it. |
|
5 |
Five Christian Goals: Proclaiming Christ (Knowledge)
- Part 5 |
| |
As we strive for the goal of living like Christ, it comes as a natural second goal that we should then share the knowledge of that life with others. More specifically, we proclaim the source of that life: Christ. |
