Why did the Jews reject Christ? Jimmy Cates Because He wasn’t what they expected Jimmy. They were looking for the Redeemer to come as a Mighty Lion, and not as the meek Lamb for the Sacrifice! Isaiah 11:1 And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall… Read More »
Was troubled by your dilution of the Word of God – Mat 7:21-23 etc. When Jesus said He never knew them – He means he never knew them as walking in His light fully.

Dear Brother Tim, I pray that you can help me understand some scripture that my Pastor has recently discussed : I do not understand Matthew 5:3 – why is it blessed to be “poor in spirit” ? I would think we would want to be rich in the spirit – and to keep receiving the… Read More »
