The Church of Wishes

  In Turkey, a country that is predominately Muslim, there is a Church of Wishes where women qho are Christian, Muslim, and Secular line up to get the rite the Church does and are given a key to wear that they return when their wish comes true. Well most people have their wish come true, even those not of the Christian faith. Muslim women even said in interviews on BBC that they like the church because they accept them. I feel that this is an amazing way Christ is effecting a nation that is lead by a President, Recep Endogen, who has been declaring he wants the blood of Christians to flow in a holy war. That God The Trinity is calling enemies of His church because we all were all enemies of Him at one point, “For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son Jesus Christ, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.” (Romans 5:10). I mean the guy who killed Christians, Saul, became Christ’s most ardent apostle and wrote two thirds

This is The Age of Hate

  I have become rather concerned by what I see happening in this world. When we become known only for what we hate, have we ceased being Christians to an extent? For Jesus said, “By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” (John 13:35) “But I have this complaint against you. You don’t love me or each other as you did at first!   Look how far you have fallen! Turn back to me and do the works you did at first. If you don’t repent, I will come and remove your lampstand from its place among the churches,” (Revelation 2:4-5), and “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.   The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.” (Mark 12:30-31). In all these words of Jesus we are told to love our neighbor, to love one another, and that people will know we are disciples of Christ by out love (see the song at the end of this blog post). Ther

Jesus is Not Just The Son of David

  The Jewish People were looking for a messiah, a liberator who would help them overthrow the Romans. They were looking for a Son of David to conquer and Make Israel Great Again. Jesus confronted them with the reality that David’s Son in prophecy was not going to be just a Man, but The Lord God Himself Incarnate, “Now while the Pharisees were assembled, Jesus asked them a question, saying, “What do you think of the Messiah?* Whose son is he?” They answered, “[He is the son] of David.”  Jesus said to them, “How, then, does David, in the Spirit, call him ‘Lord,’ saying: ‘The Lord* said to my Lord, * sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet?’* If then David calls him Lord, how is he his son?”  No one was able to answer him a word, and from that day on, no one dared to ask him any more questions.” (Matthew 22:41-46). When Christ confronted them with the Scriptures it says they dares not ask him anymore questions. The Jews did not like the answers, they like
