Master or Teacher – Which One Commands More Respect From You?

Most of my Bible reading this year has been from the Authorized KJV rather than the usual NKJV or NIV. I’m not a die-hard ‘King James only’ Christian, but I am very glad to have one in my possession, having been greatly blessed by studying or meditating on some words not used in the other versions. But in reference to the …

Different Label – Same Stuff in the Bottle!

On a recent national television program, millions of Australian people including myself, watched and listened to a cult leader in his late 40’s tell us he was Jesus Christ.  There’s nothing new in this of course, he’s simply one of many from around the world who pop up from time to time claiming the same …

That’s rubbish!

There was a time when I used to say that it didn’t matter what one believed in life. If someone believed this, that, or something to be true or the truth, well then that’s the way it is for them – truth. When it came to all the various religions and their practitioners in the …

It was what he wanted

Of the many hundreds of people that I met doing this work out on the streets, there were only a few that I had the on-going pleasure to visit on a regular basis.  Regardless of whether they accepted the gospel of Jesus Christ or not, I was made welcome in their homes for tea or …

What is the explanation?

I experienced a wide variety of negative responses when proclaiming the Christian gospel message with people at their doorstep or in their homes. I was often amazed however, at just how rude and bad mannered many of the elderly, retired, “well-to do” people could become. In every other way perhaps, they would probably show up …

Ah yes, but the Bible………

A middle-aged church-going man asked me, “Why is your church marketing itself like a business?”  I replied by informing him that rather than “marketing” ourselves, we were in fact, fulfilling the biblical command of Christ, who told us “go” not “come.”  In other words, our commitment was to go and tell people about Jesus Christ and what He has …

But they did not believe God

I suppose the number of church-affiliated people who told me that they believed in God, in comparison to the non-church-affiliated who said they did not, could have been as high as ninety-five percent.  That figure is purely a guess on my part.  In any case, I was quick to learn that it did not really matter.  Of those ninety-five percent …

What’s the matter with your eyes?

The first time I spoke with Helen it was not face to face.  We communicated through her locked security front door. Helen told me she’d had a stroke some thirteen years earlier, leaving one side of her body paralyzed and she was now confined to a wheelchair. But on that particular day she was in …

Any extreme possible

The day Mrs Landers came to the door she immediately began to cry when I mentioned that I was from a local church, calling to give her a, “good message from the Lord Jesus Christ.”  It was the first week of winter and she said to me, “Always at this time of the year I …

You need Jesus Christ

I walked around the back of the house and I saw the man sitting on some out-house doorsteps stirring a tin of paint with an electric drill. As he looked up at me I said to him, “You need Jesus Christ.” He quickly responded by saying, “I’ve been looking for Him.”
