The Natural Man
I like what Paul says in 1 Corinthians 2:14. In the noted passage of scripture as he stated how the natural man does not receive the things of God. I have in many of Sunday school classes thought of this passage whenever I would have a student that simply did not receive what was being taught. Its one thing to not understand a passage of scripture and its another to totally reject, that which is thoroughly explained. Many in the church claiming to be Christians have this same problem.

It doesn’t always feel good and this weight will can often leave your feeling lonely and unappreciated,but you are obviously strong enough to carry it and for some reason God has entrusted you with it.

Do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of your ministry, don’t let greed and the intoxicating effects of praise distract you. Preach the word, be instant in season and out of season, exhort and rebuke when necessary. Read more »

Seeing Men as Trees.
In the book of Mark, chapter 8, verse 23 we have the account of Jesus healing the blind man upon arriving at Bethsaida. What I find interesting is, when the people bought the blind man to Jesus and the people begged Jesus to touch him to heal him, Jesus leads the man outside the village and heals him.
Perhaps being around multitude of people can be a distraction in receiving what God has for you, think about it. Sometimes being immersed with the crowd of people, you can’t really focus on things; you can’t ever hear someone talking to you when surrounded by many people. I’m reminded about how in most worship services when someone approaches the altar for prayer, there’s this expectation of the people watching that seem to distract from the person ready to receive and the person ready to pray for the one at the altar. I get this understanding in the passage of scripture as Jesus leads the blind man out of the village, implying, away from the people who begged Jesus to touch and heal the man. Read more »
