We were totally unable to come to a recognition of the Father’s favour and grace except through the Lord Christ, who is the mirroring image of the Father’s heart. Without Christ we see nothing in God but an angry and terrible Judge.

@erasandepochs @seanmdav Was Michelle Obama 's 6-figure hospital job so difficult and important that the position has never been filled since she left??
@paulwasher Bible study 2.5 hours (preaching, lessons, & personal), shepherding 4 hours (2 for prayer & 2 for visiting). Approximate and will vary.
@MattWalshBlog Why we should tax spending and eliminate taxing income. How we also tax hidden income; tax it when it is spent. I am not proposing a VAT!!
Matt, I appreciate your posts, and I watch your videos.
@DocRichard@JamesMelville In 20 years, there won't be enough insecticides to kill all the pests eating our crops because of the millions & millions of birds killed by wind farms. The Law of Unintended Consequences.
Nelson Mandela was a convicted felon and he was precisely the man his country needed. A similar point could be made of other heroes like Gandhi, Solzhenitsyn and Martin Luther King Jr
@TomFitton This is why the FBI made Pres Trump's attorneys stay outside when Mar-a-Lago was raided, so that what was taken could not be photographed by the attorneys. This was the reason for the spectacular raid: attention, knowing all-along they were going to plant evidence.
Yeshua
The name “Jesus” in Greek is Ἰησοῦς, which is derived from the Hebrew name Yehoshua, which in English is written as Joshua. In later Biblical Hebrew, it was often shortened to Yeshua.
If you follow the historical development of the name across the centuries, we thus get:
-early biblical Hebrew: Yehoshua (=Joshua)
-later biblical Hebrew: Yeshua (or Y’shua)
-Greek: Iēsous
-Latin: Iesus
-Modern English: Jesus
The Hebrew name is based on the verb yasha (ישׁע), which means to save, deliver, or rescue. When God “yashas” in the OT, it’s almost always a physical, earthy, tangible rescue, not a spiritualized or abstract salvation. He “yashas” Israel from her enemies. He “yashas” from death. He “yashas” from sickness, plagues, and famine.
As we saw in one of the chapters we read today in Bible in One Year (https://t.co/XxNvEtNH7e ), when the Messiah is born, he is given the name Jesus “for he will save his people from their sins,” (Matthew 1:21).
Given the Hebrew background of the name, and the activities of Jesus in his ministry, the word “sins” must be understood broadly, as in the effects of sin in a fallen world.
Jesus does save us from our sins (as in transgressions of the Law), but he also saves us from sickness, demon possession, despair, and death. He comes to save us entirely, physically and spiritually, for he delivers the whole person. “The entire ministry of Jesus was thus a commentary on his name,” (Marvin Wilson).
In him, this one who embodies God’s salvation, we are healed, rescued, saved, delivered—the full revelation of which will come in the resurrection of all flesh.
@Liberacrat_@TuckerCarlson They said, "if you vote for Goldwater, we will end up in a land war in S/E Asia".
I voted for Goldwater, and sure enough, we ended up in a land war in S/E Asia!!
