DUST-COVER

“If anyone does not receive you or listen to what you have to say, leave that house or town, and once outside it shake its dust from your feet.” –Matthew 10:14 Remember, man, that we are dust (Gn 3:19), and we tend to pick up dust as we struggle through life. As we announce the good news of God’s kingdom, we are often rejected and persecuted. We naturally feel resentment, discouragement, and unforgiveness. However, we must shake off this lethal dust, or we will no longer be able to serve in God’s kingdom. Through forgiveness and healing, we let the...

Their confusion permits the devil to get away with murder, lust, greed, perversion, etc. He has also been able to mass-produce his perversities through mass media, especially TV. The combination of these factors results in a dramatic increase in demonic activity not only in pagan lands but even in Christian areas. We have let the devil...

The atoning sacrifice…

1 John 2:1-2 1 My little children, I write these things to you so that you may not sin. If anyone sins, we have a Counselor with the Father, Jesus Christ, the righteous. 2 And he is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the whole world. (WEB) The Apostle John starts off chapter two of this letter by addressing his readers as ‘My little children’. He carries a father’s heart for those he is addressing and it is his heart that they would not sin. Though all of our sins (past, present...
