We love because he loved us first

Today I went to the weekly Men’s Power Lunch at Northminster Presbyterian Church. The topic for the day was 1 John 4. Some of the verses spoke to me along the lines of our recent conversations. I’ll share one or two:

John is instructing his readers to be on the lookout for false prophets – because many have gone out into the world (v1).

Is Jesus a false prophet

I read your text where you shared that you have a clear image in your mind of what the phrase “the Son of Man coming in his kingdom” really means. Further, whatever it means, it didn’t happen during the life time of those present so therefore you must declare Jesus a false prophet. I hope I am reading you correctly.

Your idea of Jesus being a false prophet got me thinking about what the one-page graph of the Bible would look like if Jesus was a false prophet. I put red lines though all the things that would not be possible without Jesus being the Son of God – the chart would be empty!

Bible on One Page

I'm developing a YouTube video from the Bible on One Page chart we discussed recently over lunch. The video is done in PowerPoint and has more than 100 slides to summerize the Bible onto one page.

I also develop this same idea in three points, and then summarize the Bible into one verse. Putting the Bible on one  page, summarized in three points and one verse is impossible, but that didn't keep me from trying.

This is a responce to an email from a friend that suggested it was time for me to realize there really is no God.

I thought you'd enjoy the exchange.

Wow, that was a surprise from you! Didn’t know you’d changed.

You are to be commended for your faith.

This is Easter! He is Risen

This came in an email from a friend - thought it was great for the season!!

Jesus’ Resurrection Is Breathtaking!
BECAUSE OF THE RESURRECTION of Jesus, death will never have any dominion over Him again.
Romans 6:9: “We know that Christ, being raised from the dead, will never die again; death no longer has dominion over Him.”

BECAUSE OF THE RESURRECTION, Jesus intercedes for us in heaven before God.
Romans 8:34: “Christ Jesus is the one who died — more than that, who was raised — who is at the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding for us.”

Easter - He is Risen Indeed!

Since it's Easter week these verses seemed in order:

For I passed on to you as of first importance what I also received — that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures, and that he was buried, and that he was raised on the third day according to the scriptures, 
(1Co 15:3-4 NET)

Kurt,
I set this up so we can communicate in more than SMS texts.

Let me know if you can find it and when you do, make a post to see how it's going to work.

Only you and I can see and/or post to this blog.
