There is perfect equality with Jesus Christ. Skin color, gender, nationality or language are irrelevant in Heaven. There is nothing in Heaven that can divide people.

Hope means you’re really looking forward to something great because you know it’s coming.
It doesn’t mean, I ‘hope’ things will be OK.
…..
What does God expect from you?
What does God require from you?
How will you know for sure the answers to these questions?
……
We speak out, not because we think anyone’s going to listen to us, but because the alternative is not acceptable, which is, to remain silent.
……
The first century church functioned quite well under an oppressive government because it functioned by friendship and not by a system. If it were an institutional system the government could have closed it down.
…….
What the Bible calls “church” was originally a group of friends getting together.
Bizarre, I know.
And true friendship is always reciprocal.
If it’s one way then it’s not real.

The darkness won’t be comfortable until all the lights are extinguished.

“But when He had turned around and looked at His disciples, He rebuked Peter, saying, “Get behind Me, Satan! For you are not mindful of the things of God, but the things of men.” “
Mark 8:33
This is a verse that is rarely understood.
Peter could not see God’s purpose, or the means by which God would fulfill His purpose, which was contrary to human wisdom.
No human counsellor would have advised Jesus that getting crucified was the best thing He could do and the only way to save humanity.
It does not mean man should not be interested in what is happening in the world.
False spirituality always leads to a disconnection from reality.
……
Before the great “falling away” comes the great DUMBING DOWN – Christians disarmed of their critical faculties by watching entertainers and always being the passive “audience” in church.
“Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition…” (2 Thess. 2:3)
……
Too busy “worshipping” to worship?
……
It cost Jesus His life for God to forgive us.
Very costly forgiveness.
……
The greatest reality of the Christian faith is spiritual union with Jesus Christ.
……
Cultural religion has a way of deciding things for you.
……
The devil loves religion and spirituality, but he hates Jesus Christ.
