Burning the witch Giordano Bruno is one more wound inflicted on Christ__ body.

Compassion_ is medicine to a wounded heart. When we show compassion to those who are suffering we preach Jesus in another way.

I'm Jesus Christ, whether you want to accept it or not, I don't care.

_"The more we spend our time 'practicing the presence' of Jesus, the more we become like Him"~ R. Alan Woods

Pilate's skeptical sneer "What is truth?" was addressed to Truth Himself, standing there right in front of his face. The world's stupidest question was three words; God's profoundest answer was one Word.

Jesus was a suicide, if you ask me.

I wonder, said the Lord I wonder if I know the answer any more.

Obedience is the virtue that determines whether a person is either a servant or a rebel. Life of integrity is built on obedience of God's statutes and nothing else.

Jesus came to give us life. We don't have to hang on a cross like he did. For him, it was a sacrifice. For us, it is a gift.

When I was trying to earn Jesus by being good, I missed the real Jesus who wants us to love him and serve him not for what he gives but for who he is__angerous, unpredictable, radical, and amazing.

Eternity is not just looking to the future and our place with God in Heaven, but it is looking at our Eternity as if it were only moments away.

A moment with Jesus changed everything.

To deny the existence of God would be to close your eyes to the beauty around you, to close your ears to the symphony of nature, to close your nostrils to the scents wafting on the breeze, to close your mouth to the delicacies of nourishment, to close your hands to the feel of luxury, to close your mind to the ability to think, and to close your heart to the only love that can penetrate the depths of the soul. For in Him all things consist, in Him we live, and move, and have our being, and without Him we cannot help but be fools.

If economies collapse and lawlessness rules and resources are scarce, many people who claim with their mouths that they follow Jesus... will abandon him with their lives.

Jesus is not your accuser. He__ not your prosecutor. He__ not your judge. He__ your friend and your rescuer. Like Zacchaeus, just spend time with Jesus. Don__ hide from him in shame or reject him in self-righteousness. Don__ allow the opinions of other people to shape your concept of him. Get to know him for yourself, and let the goodness of God change you from the inside out.

Jesus was a man for simple people. He didn't make his messages incredibly complex. If you were a person that had the eyes to see and the ears to hear... then his message was easily understood.

Unfortunately when I'm on my death bed I believe I'll be like most people and still looking for Jesus. And yes I've checked my sock drawer.

The greatest joy is in giving; after all, God gave Christ for us.
