If you're a son or a daughter, you can't afford to pick one parent to be close to and the other one to kind of freeze out or ignore. In spiritual leadership you can't afford to get close to one person over another. If people work for you, you've got to treat them the same. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/tim-tebows-really-bad-day-6565 2012-03-09T13:33:05-05:00 I can be totally sure of Jesus in the moments when there's nothing else I can be sure of. "We have this hope as an anchor, (the Bible says) firm and secure" (Hebrews 6:19 ). I'm safe in His love because of how far His love reached for me. It went all the way to the cross where He poured our His life-blood to pay the price for my sin and for yours, and tear down the wall between God and us. http://internetevangelismday.com/losing-contact.php 2010-08-07T18:49:04-05:00 There are two major reasons why we so often fail to touch many non-Christians with the Gospel. Firstly, we frequently present the good news in language and from a viewpoint which does not actually engage with non-Christians and their real felt needs, or take into account the culture they live in. We can quickly forget how we used to feel and think, like someone who moves to a different country early in life, and forgets their heart language. There is therefore a huge mismatch between the actual needs of non-Christians and the production of Christian literature, webpages and other media. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke%209:25&version=NIV 2009-08-20T17:47:22-05:00 Jesus asks rhetorically in Luke chapter 9 what benefit owning the whole world would be to a man if he needed to lose his very soul and self to gain it? The insinuation is that one's soul is far more important than attaining possessions or power.
