All I have to do is type that name and you are singing the song aren't you?

Zacchaeus though is much more complicated than that.

He needed Jesus, he just didn't know it until he met Him.

Know ye not that ye are bought with a price?

What price? Who paid it? Saved to?

I kept the prayer list, singing the old rugged cross, and the prayer as well as the sermon in this one I felt it is necessary for the full scope.

248 years ago 56 men signed this document. Given rights by their Creator, to be judged by the Supreme Judge for their intentions, they stood tall against tyranny.

All of them risked honour, integrity, life, possessions, family and jail to do so.

Do you not know how to pray? Ask David. Do you not know how to praise? Ask David. Need deliverance? Ask David!

Covenant: an agreement.

We need men to covenant with other men to pray, to live Godly, example filled lives.

We need to covenant with God to be the men He needs.

We need to covenant to be the Godly men our families and our world needs us to be.

A marriage is a 100% effort from both parties. They and they alone are the marriage, not kids, not mom and dad, them man and wife.

One must put the other first before themselves for a marriage to be successful. Not work, not kids, not family but man and wife together as one alone.

That is God's intention.

Jesus clearly and plainly tells the Jewish leaders Who He is, Why He is here and what His purpose is.

Love is dying for those that reject you. Love is sending your only Begotten Son to die for men.

Love is preaching repent! Love is telling them of Hell and death and damnation.

Love is talking the truth, not sugarcoating it.

God gave you a choice life or death and He will honor whichever choice you make.

That is Love.

My thoughts on the sinner's prayer, and the necessity of baptizing as a tangible factor in the life of a new Christian. We have made Baptism almost an afterthought, instead of the priority it was to the Apostles.

Peter makes a mistake and takes Barnabas with him into error. Paul stands and calls him out on it to his face.

Peter later writes of Paul in a very complimentary manner. He listed him as a beloved brother, he got corrected and he appreciated it.
