A Heart Untroubled

Have you ever considered why people came to Jesus?  There was just something inexplicable about him.  He spoke with authority the priests didn't seem to have; he healed the sick and raised the dead.  He wasn't in a rush.  There was just something about him.  People couldn't explain it.  When Jesus healed the man, blind from birth and the authorities were questioning him about what had happened  John 9:25 (TPT) The healed man replied, “I have no idea what kind of man he is. All I know is that I was blind and now I can see for the first time in my life!” Jesus was inexplicable to the natural mind!  The dictionary defines that word  'inexplicable" word as " unable to be explained or accounted for" While we of course know that Jesus was the Son of God, the folk around him did not all see that, but there was something about him that drew people to Jesus. It's not enough for Christians to simply be nice, generous or gracious people.  We are to be equally in

Can you fly?  If you stand outside and flap your arms hard enough, can you take off?  Of course not.  The main reason is because of the law of gravity.   Gravity keeps us on the ground.   However,  you can fly!  Get in a plane and off you go!  What changed?   What changed is your position! A plane brings into effect a law which supersedes that of gravity.  The law of aerodynamics (thrust and lift).  In that plane, though gravity still exits, you can experience something contrary to that law.    When you are outside of the plane, you are bound by the law of gravity, but change your position and you are able to take advantage of a greater law. In this world, before we accept Jesus as our saviour, we are bound by the law of sin and death! We cannot help but follow after the flesh and things of this world.  However, once we become Christian's we change our position and are now 'In Christ'. From that position we are able to take advantage of a law that supersedes the law of sin

Have you ever played the game 'Lie. Lie. Truth?  The gist is that you tell your opponent(s) three statements, two of which are not true and one of which is true.  I might say  1) I have eaten oysters 2) I have had blue hair 3) I have travelled in a helicopter The game is to decide which is true from those three is true!   The right way to play is to make the two lies as believable as possible.   That is how the world treats humans, presenting some things as though they are true, when they are not! We (human beings) have some commonalities, regardless of where we live in the world.  We have basic physical needs (food, shelter, warmth etc) but beyond that we all desire significance, acceptance, and security.  These are the very things the world plays on as it offers people it's own variety of wisdom and truth.   It offers significance if we perform and attain enough accomplishments; it offers security of we advance in status and gain recognition and it offers acceptance if we loo
