The outrageous claims of Jesus Christ demand a hearing. Either He was the biggest fraud ever to walk this planet, or He is the eternal Son of God and the only ultimate hope for humanity. He left no room for ambiguity. Neutrality regarding Christ is not a sustainable option.
I've been a Bible teacher my entire adult life. Yet, I still marvel at the person of Jesus Christ I'm continually discovering in the pages of the NT Gospels. He keeps surprising me. The more I discover of Him, the more beauty I see. I'm enthralled. I can't recommend Him enough!
Practicing my talk with my wife. What do you think?
"Honey, in these difficult times economically, we could be a blessing to someone by buying from them that coffee grinder I've been wanting."

This self isolating may not be good for my mental health. I'm sitting on my back patio and just caught myself fantasizing about shooting lizards with my 12 gauge.
As I sit here at my sweet Mom's deathbed watching her resting calmly as she awaits her escort into the presence of her Lord, I'm nearly overwhelmed by the urge to run down the halls of the facility shouting, JESUS CHANGES EVERYTHING!
Do you know Him?
As far as we know, God has made no provision for the redemption of fallen angels. Yet, He has made the ultimate sacrifice to provide redemption for fallen humanity. That, my fellow human, is how much you matter to God.
Scrolling through social media about this time each year, I'm always reminded of how much stress I apparently avoid by not giving a flip about football. ๐
The greatest current threat to American Christianity is not the liberal agenda, nor is it the conservative agenda. Our greatest threat is the politicization of the gospel that confuses one Kingdom for another.
Dear Christian, when we become more known for our political positions than for our love for Jesus and others, it's time to reassess who or what we are truly worshiping.
Followers of Jesus, do not confuse Jesus with His followers. The most effective way to steer clear of cynicism in this current Christian climate is to stay Jesus-focused instead of Jesus-follower focused. No one is worthy of your undying loyalty but the one who overcame death.
John 19:15. "The chief priests answered, 'We have no king but Caesar.'โ Religious people sometimes make the strangest alliances in a desperate effort to retain their political clout, often at the expense of Christ Himself.

@scottsauls If Jesus were running for office today, I'm quite sure that liberals would find Him too conservative and conservatives would find Him too liberal.
