Testimonies to the practical reality, revelations and power of Jesus Christ
Quote: “Men (people) can have truth or lies, whichever they prefer. If they will to do God’s will, He will give them truth and the Spirit will guide them ultimately into all the truth. But if men will not have truth Satan will lead them step by step into all manner of delusion and falsehood.” …

Question: Why don’t people believe the gospel message of Jesus Christ? One answer only, today: It’s too simple. Did I get that answer from a book? Not at all. I got it (and get it) as a response to my sharing it with people. A common response: “There has got to be more to it …

This comment struck me: this isn’t about Catholic teaching or Jewish teaching, it is about what’s in the person themselves, making their own spirituality express itself in however that needs to be. Another comment: our chaplains …
It’s reported that an Islamic group here, in Australia are soon to take out a series of national TV commercials to promote Islam. Supposedly they’ll feature several excerpts from the Koran to show that Muslims share similar values to Christians. Apparently it is the same group that erected billboards across the nation, with the message, “Jesus …
There are a multitude of reasons as to why I find the Lord Jesus Christ to be the most fascinating Person ever to enter the human race, not the least of these being His distaste for the complicated and the sophisticated. Jesus’ lack of regard for man’s worldly-wise, complex, intricate belief systems and processes was …
