John 13:3-15 3 Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he came forth from God, and goeth unto God, 4 riseth from supper, and layeth aside his garments; and he took a towel, and girded himself. 5 Then he poureth water into the basin, and began to wash the disciples’ feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded. 6 So he cometh to Simon Peter.

Faith and Truth

by

Reflections   If we are to believe God, there must be a revelation of God. If we are to believe and know the Truth, there must be a revelation of the Truth. Thus, rather than ask God for faith. We ought to ask Him for revelation of the Truth. Then we will have something TO believe. Paul writes, “Faith comes (to be) by hearing, and hearing comes by the Word of God.” (Rom. 10:17) He is not saying that God acts upon us and causes us to hear. Rather, He is saying that unless God speaks a Word – or …

Dec 8th, 2016 by Enab Baladi  Many observers believe all rebel-held areas in the capital and its environs will be returned to the Syrian government by early next year after authorities successfully implement ‘reconciliations’ throughout the provinces, writes Enab Baladi “At the beginning of 2017 Damascus and its countryside will be free of weapons and gunmen.” Analysts, supporters of the Syrian regime and the media have circulated this belief a great deal over the last few weeks, especially after a wave of reconciliations with rebel groups in Damascus and its countryside has returned to the forefront. The deals have returned …

Song of Solomon 2:10 “My beloved spoke, and said to me: ‘Rise up, my love, my fair one and come away.'”

by

_____________________________________________________________ As human beings, we all have desires, but it may surprise some of you that Jesus does too. One of them is the keen longing to have us with Him, for it is with great joy and anticipation that He eagerly prepares and waits for us. Jesus said just before His earthly departure nearly two thousand years ago, that He was “going to prepare a place for you, that where I am, there you may be also” – John 14:2-3. So why aren’t we in heaven yet? Apparently, things are not quite ready, but all the indications are very …

Pa Rum Pum Pum Pum….

by

Dr. Mike Murphy December 7, 2016 It is funny how the smallest of things can trigger our fondest of memories! While flipping through the channels of the television the other day I saw a commercial for an upcoming broadcast of The Little Drummer Boy.  In that split second, a smile came to my face as I remembered all the years as a young boy watching the story unfolded on the television screen.  Before I even knew it, I found myself going online and listening to the familiar song I had grown up hearing. We all have heard the song more …
