Spirit filled balloon rides from peak to peak
Jn 17:3 And this is eternal life, that they know you the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent. (ESVST) This is it. The purpose of Jesus on the cross, Jesus raised from the dead, the Holy Spirit in our lives… That we would know God! When I miss this truth about God…
If you are just joining us I encourage you to take a look a the last three posts. In “You Will Surely Die” I discussed how we “died” in the garden to the understanding of the goodness of God. Joseph Prince says we were clothed with His glory and when we ate the wrong fruit…
I was listening to a David Hogan message this morning. I am always astonished by the humility of this man. He may sound abrasive and speak with divine confidence but he is like a little kid when it comes to the power, mercy and Grace of God. He was telling a story about a teenage…
In this series we have looked at the “root” of sin. The Greek word translated as “sin” is hamartia and has a rich history in the literary community.

Jesus said this to a religious leader named Nicodemus: Jn 3:3 Jesus answered him, “ Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.” (ESVST) There have been so many theories that lead to doctrines that contribute to theologies based on this passage.
