In this short book I work in reverse order. I begin by sharing where I’m at now in dealing with cults, and then I work back to explain how I got to this place over the years. I share some personal experiences and key Scriptures, which have helped me grow in this area and find a footing in dealing with cults. I focus mainly on the core and common error of them all, i.e. denying the true identity of Jesus, and therefore the true message of the gospel. (2 Corinthians 11:4) Let me define a cult very simply here: Any offshoot of Christianity that denies the identity of Jesus, and adds that you...

God looks for you. He searches for you. Jesus notices when you’re not there, and he leaves the crowd, the event, to find you. I hope God’s words and love come off these pages and stay with you, as ‘spirit and life’. (Excerpt) Introduction: To heal the blind man, Jesus spat in the ground, made a paste in the mud, and smeared this mud in the sockets of the man’s eyes. He asked the man if he could see. Not clearly, he said. Jesus put his hands on him again to finish this work of healing.[1] It is also interesting that Jesus did this in private (took the man ‘outside the village’)...

‘Moses came to Horeb, the mountain of God. There the angel of the Lord appeared to him in flames of fire from within a bush... though the bush was on fire it did not burn up. God called to him from within the bush, “Moses! Moses!” And Moses said, “Here I am.” (Exodus 3:1-4) I think this moment when the Lord meets with Moses captures the essence of when the Lord meets with anyone – with you, with me. It is a quiet moment away from other people. It is deep, it is spiritual. It is a revelation that is beyond nature, impossible, but true – like something on fire, but not burning ...

You can only see what you see. This sounds obvious, but determines everything. What you see determines where you go and what you do. Do you see a path ahead? You see it, therefore you head in that direction. You don’t see it, you go elsewhere… Do you ‘see’ value or meaning in this career? You ‘go’ in that direction. You invest, study, sacrifice, meet up with… The light in your eyes – your physical eyes – gets you out of the woods, the literal woods. And the light in your mind, in your heart, connects you to life choices and relationships.

(excerpt from the text) '... This is critical, my friends, the issue of what we can and do know regarding sin andsuffering, and what we don’t and can’t know. We got to stay in our ‘truth’ lane.There will be paradoxes in our understanding, and therefore (hopefully!) inour communications and interactions with people. This is good! In some areasof God’s revelation, to be true to it, we must be limited, this far and no further, thisclear and no clearer… We’re called to weep with those who weep, not to tell themthat God ordained the disaster, and has a plan in it. If that truly ...

Terri’s cancer had returned. I had the honor of meeting weekly with Terri to talk about faith, about Jesus, life here and life to come. Our times together were the highlight of my week, lasted just over a year, and then Terri went to be with the Lord. In this short book I recount some of our conversations together, and Scriptures we discussed. I know Terri would have liked to share more of her faith with family and friends, particularly as she experienced it in her final months. It is my hope that this memoir serves that purpose. In loving memory of Theresa Molloy, 10th March 1950 – 7th...

I didn’t choose to be born. In other words, I didn’t choose to exist. I didn’t choose my parents or my circumstances. I definitely did not choose my looks or my personality. And yet these things and these people seem to define me. I didn’t choose for those bad things to happen. But they mark me. They made me fear, fight, be insecure, and even do things I wish I didn’t do. And now these things seem to define me. How do I get out of this maze? Who am I really? Where do I belong? God says, ‘I have loved you with an everlasting love,’ and ‘before you were born I called you by ...

Jesus asked us to have faith in him. He did not just want ‘belief’, he wanted faith. Faith is a mysterious thing. In this short booklet we’ll consider what Jesus really meant by asking us to have faith, and how to take that step of faith. At the end of this booklet there are ten journal reflections, so you can consider some words of Jesus and write down your own thoughts. Let’s get started!

The purpose of life, for every man, woman and child, is to reach out and find God. To know him – now and forevermore. ‘God created all people, so that they would search for him, reach out for him and find him.’ (Acts 17:25-27) And this last verse ends by saying: ‘And he is not far from each one of us.’ Is it time in your life to seek God, and find him? Is it time in your life to make peace with God, now and forevermore? Jesus said, ‘I am the door…’ (John 10:9)

20 reflections to help you grow in your new life with Christ. 'Jesus himself came up and walked along with them…’ (Luke 24:15) www.1peter1three.weebly.com

Do you find it hard to separate your relationship with Jesus from your relationship with your parents?When you think of faith in Jesus, do you think – and feel – many things to do with people, and not God? Like people using the Lord’s name to get you to be disciplined, to be ‘good’, to be honest, to go to church, to tithe your money, to feel bad, to say sorry, to not really enjoy…?This booklet is purposed to help you find your own true identity in Jesus, and see just how separately and uniquely you stand – both as an individual, and as a follower of Christ. I hope this booklet...

God has put eternity in the hearts of all people. (Ecclesiastes 3:11) When we open the door of our hearts to Jesus Christ, he moves through our mind and our spirits, now and forevermore. In the Scriptures God has given us access to the deep things of his truth and his own Spirit. In this booklet I share some thoughts and Scriptures to help us know more of God - not only in word and thoughts, but in 'spirit and truth'. (John 4:24)

¿Has perdido tu camino? ¿Tuviste una verdadera fe en Jesús en algún momento, pero ahora te encuentras distanciado? Jesús conoce tu camino. Conoce tu historia. Te ama y te llama de vuelta a casa. ‘Todavía estaba lejos cuando su padre lo vio y se compadeció de él; salió corriendo a su encuentro, lo abrazó y lo besó.’ (Lucas 15:20) Peter Walker y su familia viven en Carolina del Norte, Estados Unidos.

‘Lo primero que tienes que saber para seguir a Jesús, lo primero que tienes que ‘hacer’, es, simplemente, recibir Su paz’ (de la Introducción). Esta es una guía breve, de 20 entradas, para ayudarte a fortalecer tu nueva fe en Jesús. ¡Espero que te aliente! ‘Jesús mismo se acercó y comenzó a caminar con ellos…’ (Lucas 24:15) Foto de cubierta por Jack Walker @jack.dw

Como seguidor de Jesús, como cristiano, he luchado con mi sentido de identidad. Sigo luchando. Cada persona que sigue en verdad a Jesús, lo ha visto como Señor. El resto, no lo ve. Por eso Jesús dijo a Sus discípulos: ‘Dichosos los ojos de ustedes porque ven, y sus oídos porque oyen.’ (Mateo 13:16 NVI) Empecé a seguir a Jesús a los dieciséis años, después de que Él me hubiera seguido a mí durante mucho tiempo. Llegó un momento en que no podía negarle más, no podía seguir viviendo una doble vida, y me detuve, me di la vuelta y empecé a seguirle. Enseguida me di cuenta ...

Incluso el nombre ‘escuela media’ te hace sentir como si no estuvieras aquí, ni allí, ¡estás en el medio! Sin embargo, la verdad es que la secundaria no está en ‘segundo lugar’, ¡es un lugar muy importante por derecho propio! Y esta etapa de tu vida (tu edad, tus amigos, tus sentimientos) también es muy importante. Espero que disfrutes leyendo estas reflexiones devocionales, y que crezcas en 3 aspectos clave: 1) Que conozcas mejor a Jesús; 2) Que sientas más paz y felicidad en tu amistad con Jesús; 3) Que aprendas algunas maneras de compartir a Jesús con tus amigos –no ...

Tu experiencia de ‘hogar’ aquí en la tierra es, en el mejor de los casos, una metáfora, y en el peor, una falsa impresión. En cualquier caso –en todos los casos– ningún hogar aquí en la tierra es tu ‘verdadero hogar’. Tu verdadero hogar sólo está en el cielo. Está con Dios, tu Padre bueno y amoroso, tu Creador, y con Su pueblo. Tu verdadero hogar es eterno, cálido, seguro y lleno de Espíritu y vida. No más dolor, mancha, culpa, arrepentimiento, sufrimiento, lágrimas o muerte. Es para siempre. Jesús dijo que Él era la ‘puerta’ al cielo. Pasamos a través de Él ...
