Where Do You Need Healing?

Where Do You Need Healing?

A man with leprosy came and knelt in front of Jesus, begging to be healed. “If you are willing, you can heal me and make me clean,” he said. Moved with compassion, Jesus reached out and touched him. “I am willing,” he said. “Be healed!” Instantly the leprosy disappeared, and the man was healed. (Mark 1:40-42) Imagine a good-looking, well-liked man with bronze skin and a winning smile. His days filled with laughter and friends. But then one day, he notices a white spot on tha

My Problem + Christ = Victory

My Problem + Christ = Victory

I want you to memorize this little equation: My problem + Christ = victory. You may be losing battle after battle. Don’t lose heart. Christ has won the war. Victory awaits all those who trust in Christ! Are you struggling to believe this? Read Paul’s prayer to the Ephesians. I pray that you will begin to understand the incredible greatness of his power for us who believe him. This is the same mighty power that raised Christ from the dead and seated him in the place of honor a

Raising Dead Things to Life -- Part 2

Raising Dead Things to Life -- Part 2

In the last blog, we looked at Jesus' amazing power to raise dead things, when He miraculous healed a woman who had lost 12 years of her life. But that is not all that is amazing in Mark 5! There is an even greater resurrection story in the same chapter. When Jesus went back across to the other side of the lake, a large crowd gathered around him on the shore. A leader of the local synagogue, whose name was Jairus, came and fell down before him, pleading with him to heal his l

Raising Dead Things to Life

Raising Dead Things to Life

None of us has the power to deal with dead dreams, dead hopes, or dead relationships. We cannot make dead cancerous cells come to life. We cannot raise dead joys and hopes and dreams to life, and we cannot breathe life into dead relationships with friends, spouses, or children either. No matter how you slice it, human beings are incapable of raising dead things. However, there is a place, or I should say, there is a Person, where the power to raise dead things exists. Look at

How Can I Get Some Joy!?!

How Can I Get Some Joy!?!

Can you imagine someone coming up to you and saying, "Hey, I just found out I need to have emergency surgery! Can I share my joy with you?" Or how about, "Hey, my house burned down, and I lost all of my possessions! Can I share my joy with you?" If someone were to say something like the above to you, you might begin leafing through the phone book (do people still do that?) looking for the number to the local psychiatric ward! It is not natural to have "joy enough to share" wh

This is the beginning of the Good News about Jesus Christ, the Son of God. ~ Mark 1:1 One day a store owner put a sign in his big store window. On that sign, in bright red letters, were the words “Puppies for sale.” Now, the store owner knew that signs like that tend to draw small children, and sure enough, within an hour the owner notice a little boy, his face pressed up the glass of the big window. His little chubby hands were cupped around his eyes which were eagerly sca

Crossing the Line

If you turned to Jeremiah 2 in your Bible, you would know that it was not going to be a pleasant read just by the chapter heading! Depending on your translation, you might read titles like, “The Results of Israel’s Sin,” “Israel Forsakes God,” and “Judah’s Apostasy.” Not good! Once in the chapter itself, you quickly find that the Lord is quite perturbed with the Israelites for their repeated line breaking. After listing off the many ways He has cared for them and watched over
