So that you can see again…

“So Ananias went to the house of Judas. He laid his hands on Saul and said, “Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus sent me. He is the one you saw on the road on your way here. He sent me so that you can see again and be filled with the Holy Spirit.”
Immediately, something that looked like fish scales fell from Saul’s eyes, and he was able to see again! Then Saul got up and was baptized. After he ate some food, his strength returned.” – Acts 9:17-19

There are days I want to speak a message so thousands get saved.

There are other days I want to just buy that old guy a cup of coffee and ask him the “question.” (“May I pray with you about something?”)

There are still others where I want to make tech ‘just work’ all the time so our pastors and their teams can focus on ‘prayer and reading the Word’. I want to be like Philip and Stephen, chosen in Acts 6:1-7

Whatever the case, I just want to obey in that moment.

When I read about Ananias I wondered WHO he was.

I know he wasn’t Paul.

Maybe he was only called to open Saul’s eyes.

Maybe he had no clue Saul would become Paul.

That day, just that one, he obeyed.

Today, may God use us to help someone see again.

Foundations of Faith

The basic doctrines, the foundation, of the Christian faith are the subject of this completely online Bible study course.

Foundations of Faith

There are two reasons for failure to live a victorious Christian life. The first reason is that some who are trying to live like Christians have never been born again. They do not understand the basic doctrines of Jesus Christ. The second reason for failure is not going on to spiritual maturity. The focus of this study is that  maturity.

Kingdom Living

All men live in a natural kingdom of this world. They live in a city or village which is part of a nation. That nation is a kingdom of the world. In addition to the natural kingdoms of this world there are two spiritual kingdoms which exist.

Kingdom Living

Every person alive is a resident of one of these two kingdoms: The kingdom of Satan or the Kingdom of God. This study concerns the Kingdom of God. It introduces the two spiritual kingdoms, their rulers, and residents. It provides spiritual keys for gaining access to the Kingdom of God and warns of things which result in being cast out.
