In the world today, everybody knows who Jesus Christ is. Everyone knows the Bible. Of the four gospels, Gospel of John addresses Jesus’ Judean Ministry of truth and light. It differs from and complements the Synoptic Gospels by writing style, especially in John 6: 26-59. In this passage, Jesus addresses the crowd and proclaims a radical thought, originating from the Old Testament. Jesus states that He is the new manna from heaven above; instituting what Christians call the Eucharist. With the…

stories of people who fail in ministry due to a short-sided decisions or a compromise of integrity. They trade all that God has for them for momentary pleasure. What is more, many leaders live with the weight of shame and guilt and settle for less than God’s call because they believe their secret is that horrible. Yet God is full of grace and has the power to pick leaders back up. Integrity can be restored. But what if there was a way to avoid the pitfalls so many ministry leaders find…

In the “Suffering Servant” passage, Isaiah records Jesus as “a man of sorrows and familiar with suffering” (Isaiah 53: 3). Jesus described his own ministry, quoting from Isaiah, as one “who came to bind up…

James on the shores of Galilee. This calling occurred early in Jesus’ Ministry (John Exiled, 2013). The brothers were fishermen by trade, and preparing to cast their nets when Jesus called them. The story is recorded in Matthew 4, and reports that after the Lord’s call, they immediately left their nets and their father, and went and followed Him (Holy Bible, NIV, 2016). We are not certain if John heard about Jesus ministry from verbal reports of John the Baptist’s teaching, or if he was…

Voldemort is dastardly devious. A great example that exemplifies his deviousness is when Mikhail Lyubansky, a Ph.D. of Psychology at the University of Illinois, presents, “Into the long-standing culture of dislike, Voldemort, through his control of the Ministry of Magic, introduced a variety of new laws intended to isolate and marginalize half-bloods and their supporters and remove half-bloods from all positions of authority, including at Hogwarts,” (Lyubansky 6).

into this world as a baby. Her history at this time, her residence at Bethlehem, flight to Egypt, and return to her early home at Nazareth, are recorded in the Bible. On only four occasions is she mentioned in scripture, after the start of Jesus’ ministry. The Bible credits her with only one noteworthy event; giving birth to Jesus.
