God is the God who forgives, through Jesus sacrifice...so who is it that keeps reminding us of our sins...?

More about the joy of the Lord and what it means to us poor sinners, saved by His grace in love.

Are you and I supposed to evidence the same fear that we see in those around us who do not know Christ?  Absolutely not!!!

More directions on being faithful in reading and meditating on God's word, the Bible.  Examples of correcting false assumptions regarding the misquoted phrase:  "as a (man) thinks in his heart so is he"  and  correcting the false assumption of Jesus portrayal as a sourpuss or otherworldly mystic instead of being the most down to earth and joyful man of all time.

Today we look at whether God the Father deserted Jesus on the cross, or whether, in fact, God remained faithful during the most critical hours of Jesus' life.  The answer is right there in Psalm 22.

Tithing is based on the Old Testament and is not the higher plane God has for the Covenant bought for us by Jesus Christ on the cross.

Lets look at why I believe this...

There are two ways to follow Jesus, with varying results and outcomes.  One is to look at scripture and pick out something to do to serve God.  The other is to open ourselves up to the leading of the Holy Spirit.  In this episode, we see Peter doing the first, while Jesus does the second.
