Jesus Plus What?

One Sabbath morning in a small Midwestern church, the pastor quoted Romans 4:24 like this: “But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we obey him who raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead.”  “Amen!” someone said. The pastor replied, “No, the text does not say obey. It says, believe!” Since […]

Reality in Jesus

Few will dispute that a man named Jesus lived some two thousand years ago and that He was an amazing teacher who changed the world forever. What separates Him from other good men is the audacious claim that He was in fact the very Son of God. Jesus didn’t lead a mega church while He […]

Jesus: Savior and Lord

The Bible says that everyone is born with the condemnation of the first sin of Adam and Eve. Every one of us confirms this condemnation through our own sins: (Romans 3:23; Isaiah 59:2).

It’s at the heart of all the good fairy tales. Take Sleeping Beauty, for instance, who lay under the curse of sleep until revived by the handsome prince. Ariel had to receive the “kiss of true love” from Eric in The Little Mermaid. Or the movie Enchanted, where Giselle ate the poison apple and could […]

His Voice

Read and consider John 20:11-16. In this scene Mary went to Christ’s gravesite and was told He was not there. A moment of terror must have come upon her — like an out-of-body experience — and she became oblivious to her surroundings and others nearby. Then she spoke to Jesus, but she could not see […]

SHINE-ing in Prison

On December 5, 2013, SHINE ministry director Ernesto Frausto and four other brethren visited the social rehabilitation center in Cuauhtémoc, Chihuahua, Mexico, to take the Word of God to the inmates of this prison. Entering the place was done with much surveillance. After about an hour, five members were allowed entry. We headed to the […]
