Words, meaningless; evidence, everything.

I am put on display for people to choose to follow as an example. Because they cannot see You, the Original Design, the Masterpiece, I must be the exact representation of You as a Christian, so that when people need to decide which religion to follow and which god to follow, they would choose You when they see me. I must be more like You. This is my gospel message: myself. I must love them like the way You love them and until and unless I love them, they will never know that You love them. Words are meaningless today. Evidence is everything.
more people can have the same thing
The more people I love, the more people can be copies of You and more people will have the same thing. And there would be plenty of ‘Jesus’s to go around. This is how the gospel is spread: by multiplying You.
they would assume they were the same
The last thing I want to do is to misrepresent You: to make people think that You are like me when I am nothing like You. The World would assume we were the same. I am too different from You.
to maintain the reputation of that brand
For You to tell me this would mean that I have not been maintaining Your reputation. My life is not bringing glory to You. I have failed to represent You. I have brought shame to Your Name. I need to buck up. I need to raise my standards. I need to represent the real You. The standards that I have failed in is not just in my dressing but in my attitude and the way I treat people. I am cold and heartless. Like Paul Washer says, “A 50 dollar haircut, skinny jeans and a t-shirt is not going to represent You.” It is about my heart. My love for people is not even worth as much as a 50 dollar haircut. All they could see was the hair and they could not see the heart. All I would be producing is the haircut, not the heart. I am not promoting the car or the blazer or the haircut. I am promoting Your love, Your heart. That is what they need to see more than the haircut.
there was nothing lacking

What is lacking in my life? There is a lot. But most of all, Your love is lacking. You love should be my outer appearance - written all over my face. Your love should make up my character, my discipline and my integrity. Your love should be all over my words. Your love should be manifested through every action I make. Your love must be seen through the results I produce and the fruits that I bear. Being a Christian is 100% about Your love. The rest are important but the rest must be love.

Baptism and sinless after

1. Jesus was baptized  2. Jesus’ disciples baptized 3. Jesus commissioned us to baptize 4. Ephesians 4:22 talks about putting off the old man.  This means leaving your past behind and you are not that person. Your dead body is buried and you are now alive because of Christ in you. So the devil cannot point his finger at you and condemn you for your past sins because that person is dead, and you are not that person. You are a new creation. If Christ is in you, Hebrews 6:4-6 says we cannot crucify again the son of God.  2 Peter 2: For if, after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, the latter end is worse for them than the beginning. 21 For it would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than having known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered to them. 22 But it has happened to them according to the true proverb: “A dog re...

Woman Leadership

I am convinced of God’s call upon my life. And am prepared to do anything He asks me to do, whether I receive approval from anyone or not.  It’s so important to read the Bible in context and to know the history of Corinth and how the women in their temples were prostitutes calling the men to have sex with them as part of their religious ceremony; and how they thought the church would be the same. That’s why the women there were asked to keep quiet. I am a woman pastor. I am ordained and I am a woman. God calls whom He wills. When God first created the world, He made man and woman equal. When Eve fell, Adam was standing right beside her (Gen 3:6). He did not speak up but watched, listened, received and ate. Nevertheless, Christ, as the new Adam, came as the Son of God and Son of Man, to restore what was lost when man fell. Thus, God’s original plan for mankind where male and female are equal, has been restored, and the curse, broken. Women and men are equal again. Jesus submitted Hi...

Lazy teens

A teen is not a kid anymore. Then again, boys mature about 3 years slower, so just take that into account.  When faced with lazy teens, we need to find out the root issue — is it a spirit of laziness? It has to be addressed. He needs to know that it is a spirit and not him. And that he has to fight it. And what happens when spirits like that are not warded off. And how they can ultimately possess a person when entertained and given into. If it’s not laziness, it is a lack of motivation. What do they really have in mind that is really bothering them or they are inspired about and work on that.
