In Love with Jesus I’ve been going through the gospels this week (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John – the first four books in the Bible’s New Testament). As I was doing that I was impressed with just how interested I am in them. Each one is a bit different but each author covers the life […]
What would he see? How would he connect with us? And if Jesus walked down Hawthorne or Division, how would we recognize him? Would we welcome him? If I sat down with Jesus for coffee today, what would he communicate and how would I respond? Here are some things Jesus would let me know. Life is all about LOVE (Mathew […]
O que Ele veria? Como é que Ele se relacionaria connosco?E se Jesus andasse pelo Porto, Coimbra ou Lisboa, como O reconheceríamos? Nós O receberíamos? Se eu me sentasse com Jesus hoje para tomar café, o que Ele diria e como eu reagiria? Aqui estão algumas coisas que Jesus me fez saber: A vida tem […]
The way I view life influences everything about me and how I relate to others. Write down your answers to each of these questions. Reality. What is most real? Does God(s) exist?

“Can you come up with an example of anything that began to exist that doesn’t have a cause? Even David Hume, the famous skeptic said, ‘I never asserted so absurd a proposition as that anything might arise without a cause.’ The universe began to exist. Virtually every scientist now concedes that universe and time itself […]
Evidence for God’s existence is on the tip of your tongue! Secular friends and Naturalistic scientists urge us to see ourselves and the world as purely material. We are matter only and that’s it, they say. Language, however, is not made of matter. Our communication, right now, is not material at all. If language is non-material, […]
I respect my friends who don’t believe in God. Many are being true to their experience of the world. Sometimes theists abuse atheists for their unbelief. That makes me sad because I think some atheists are just being honest. Even John says “No one has ever seen God…” (John 1:18). So why should Jesus followers […]
Today I had lunch with a man from the nation of Colombia. What a great guy! His name is Fernando. Deeply devoted to God and wanting to help others, Fernando studied for the Roman Catholic priesthood. But then, when it came time to take his priestly vows, he paused and backed out. He decided that […]
