Understanding

Knowledge and education are for understanding not intelligence. Intelligence leads to pride which leads to destruction. The fear of the Lord leads to knowledge and education which understanding which leads to building up.  Politics is talked about today like gossip. Gossip is iceberg lettuce it tastes kind of good but has no real lasting value. People seem to enjoy talking about their ideals of politics but most people are not interested in coming to an understanding who or what.

What is Body Builders?

Body Building is not about a program or a course. It is at abiding in Christ and since we are the Body of Christ we need to start learning to abide here and now. The main part of abiding is getting to know and understanding our brothers and sisters. How do we do that, we slow down and listen to each other.  A body’s part communicate all the time to function correctly. The body understands that it has to work together as the head directs or otherwise it dies. So, why does the Body of Christ think that we can survive? How do we change the attitude that our relationship with Christ is a personal thing? The New Testament regularly points towards oneness in Christ.

Customer Service

I work and have most of my life in customer service and one thing I think makes a huge difference is when you provide the service without really expecting anything in return.

For me customer service really is not that difficult because I get a go...

Peter’s denial

Everyone I have ever teach on Peter’s denial is because of fear. I totally disagree I believe he probably did it out of trying to be ready to fight for Him. Read the Gospels again or for the first time. If it was out of fear what was he doing there? If you read the account before Christ was arrested and just as He was Peter had his sword ready. I think that why Peter wept bitterly.  He shows that it’s when we think we have best plan for Christ that we get ourselves into trouble. Like I said most people say it was fear but if you really look at what happened you will notice that it fear doesn’t seem to be there. Listen to the way he answers the people because to me it sounds like he trying protect his position. When we are trying to protect our positions, defending Christ, is when we say things that might not always be correct.  I think Peter was trying to keep a position so that when Christ called for enforcement or protection he would be ready. So, when the roaster crowed and...
