Jesus said, “I am the way, the and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, except through Me” (John 14:6).
I AM THE WAY
Jesus is the way to eternal life. He is the way to forgiveness of our sins. Jesus is the way for us to be holy and blameless before Him in love. Jesus is the way to peace of mind for us by knowing that this world is not all there is. We all long for a place where peace and safety exist, a place where no one does harm to their…

Like the little old lady who returned
your wallet yesterday.
Like the taxi driver who told you that
your eyes light up the world when you smile.
Like the small child who showed you the
wonder of simple things.
Like the poor man who offered
to share his lunch with you.
Like the rich man who showed you that
it really is all possible, if you only knew.
Like the stranger who just happened to come
along and offered help when you had lost your way.
Like the friend who touched your heart when
you didn’t think you had one to touch.
Angels come in all…

Jesus called them, one by one. When He named His 12 apostles, He chose “those whom He Himself wanted” (Mark 3:13). The implication is that no one else would have wanted them. They were not the only people He had to choose from. Jesus had throngs and throngs of disciples, so many that the crowds on one occasion were stepping on one another. But out of all His disciples, He chose these twelve for a special purpose.
We sometimes think of the apostles only in the sense of the group. The Scriptures certainly speak of them that way: “the…
In his book, The Pattern of Authority, Bernard Ramm says, "Having rejected the authority of the Roman Church and its efforts to underwrite the authority of the Bible, Calvin might then have turned to human reason to demonstrate the authority of the Bible.

There must be a divine certainty about divine matters." (p.28-29) Ramm says Calvin found his answer in the "internal…

My sacrifice should be pleasant to God, (II Corinthians 2:15), not offensive as in Deuteronomy 17:1. Although we no longer…
