    FOLLOW ME – The Social Networking of Jesus

    Luke 5:

    10 His partners, James and John, the sons of Zebedee, were also amazed.

    Jesus replied to Simon, “Don’t be afraid! From now on you’ll be fishing for people!” 11 And as soon as they landed, they left everything and followed Jesus.

    27 Later, as Jesus left the town, he saw a tax collector named Levi sitting at his tax collector’s booth.“Follow me and be my disciple,” Jesus said to him. 28 So Levi got up, left everything, and followed him.

    “Jesus followed no man.  Yet in just three years our Lord connected to thousands and convinced many followers.

    I’ve been giving much thought and listening to considerable advice recently about how to reach readers who also follow Christ.  This is crucial for Christian authors.

    IF we seek followers of Christ to read our book (or our blog), where will our journey take us in three years?

    (Jesus must have had a plan and strategy for Jews and gentiles to receive the gospel of the Cross before the sacrifice of the Cross.)

    How did He do it?  What was His strategy?

    Although Jesus followed only God, our Lord pursued faithfully those who sought to follow him.  Matthew, Zacchaeus, Mary Magdalene, a Samaritan woman at the well and Nicodemus are just a few examples.

    Jesus was connected to a Mentor Circle.  (You know the other Two.)

    His Followers, Apostles, Paul, Timothy and others all built their churches in the same way – Mentors from the One original AND Followers of each new closely connected group of believers.

    His followers he then added and pursued any who followed with love for their souls.

    Therefore my intent is to follow some of your wise counsel from our inner circle of Christian authors. Yet my advice to us:

    “Walk among the circles of our READERS.  Show them Christ.  See who will follow.

    Do you have any specific directions for us?

  • SEEK

    SEEK

    Mathew 7: 7 “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened

    SEEK – a word study preached by an Elder of our church today (18 August 2013)

    Here is a search from the 112 NIV references. I too was convicted to SEEK more.

    As additional study: an Old Testament search & a New Testament search.

  • GOD Allows Violence

    GOD Allows Violence

     O Lord, how long shall I cry,

    And You will not hear?
    Even cry out to You, “Violence!”
    And You will not save. Habakkuk 1:2

    If God did NOT allow violence, the blood of Christ’s Cross could not have been sacrificed for our sins.

    This is a time that Muslims spend in study and prayer. Some will spend the whole night in prayer or in reciting the Qur’an.

    Lailat al Qadr is a good time to ask for forgiveness.

    Whoever establishes the prayers on the night of Qadr out of sincere faith and hoping to attain Allah’s rewards (not to show off) then all his past sins will be forgiven.  Hadith, Bukhari Vol 1, Book 2:34

    IF this is a time for prayer and fasting in Islam, why must God use Mosques as morgues?

    God allows violence.  Every nation is a nation of sinners.  My nation, the United States is also a nation of sinners. Every man is a sinner.  Every woman is a sinner.

    Sin against God Almighty will be judged.  Sin of false prophets will be judged.  Sin of godless religious and national leaders will be judged. Sin of godless men will be judged.

    No night or month or years of prayer can attain the forgiveness of sin.

    Only the blood of Christ shed on the Cross is sufficient before God our Father to grant the mercy we do NOT deserve – the wonderful grace of our Father God’s love.

    Does that mean we should not pray?  Of course not.  Prayer to God our Father is answered in His time.  Do not pray to idols or angels or men who are dead.  We pray by the grace of the Blood of Christ Jesus.  Our Father loves us and listens to our prayers.

    “Therefore pray for the people of Egypt.  We pray for you in the Name of Christ Jesus, who shed His Blood on the Cross also for you.
