List of sites to research manuscript evidence.

Those who spent time with Jesus were in awe of his presence. We too, should experience the awesomeness of Jesus when we fully take in the understanding that he was God in the flesh, walking this earth to share his love by going to the cross on our behalf. “And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.” John 1:14 (NASB) Through Jesus, we have been delivered from God’s wrath and elevated to the...

Michael Neale What More Could I Want You have all my devotion Every breath and emotion I lay them at Your feet Strip away my distraction All that steals my affection I lay them at Your feet Jesus, O Jesus, what more could I want? Jesus, O Jesus, oh, You are enough I'm alive in Your presence, I could stay here forever Jesus, O Jesus, what more could I want? More than I could imagine Your love rescued my passion I worship at Your feet You are all that I've treasured Take my heart,...

There are many who claim to know Jesus who attend weekly local church services and even donate some time and money to help others less fortunate than themselves, but is this what Jesus meant when He told us to do the will of the Father? Jesus never told us to go to church, read the bible, or build for ourselves organizations in His name to draw people into over time. We know Jesus told us that the harvest is plentiful and the workers are few. This problem is only compounded by today’s...

“We know that God does not hear sinners; but if anyone is God-fearing and does His will, He hears him.” John 9:31 (NASB) Those who harbor in their heart a love for activities that are contrary to God’s will have separated themselves from God. There is no connection. Their prayers drift away in the wind. “If I regard wickedness in my heart, the Lord will not hear.” Psalm 66:18 (NASB) To be heard by God, we have to pray with a pure heart. Our goal in that connection should be to seek...

Sanctus Real Pray I bow my head to pray, I don't know what to say I'm not sure how to fix the things I'm dealing with I'm in a desperate place, I need to share the weight But I just don't know how, to let it all pour out Though I'm silent, my heart is crying 'Cause I was made to come to You So I pray God I need You more than words can say Right here in this moment You know my heart, You know my need You know every part of me So even if it's just to speak Your name I'm gonna pray...

I am an unprofitable servant This past Sunday we had our Lay Cistercians at our retreat house. It is a monthly affair. Below is a homily that he shared with the Lay Cistercians by our Fr. Cassian. He always has an interesting slant when he speaks about the parables in the Gospel. Hope you all enjoy and get something out of it.—BrMD Homily Preached to the Lay Cistercians October 6, 2019 by Fr. Cassian OCSO I am an unprofitable servant. An unworthy servant. An unnecessary servant. A...

TODAY'S TEXT: For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful. What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also.(1 Corinthians 14:14‭-‬15) The problem we have with the language of the Spirit is because the mind cannot understand, and because the mind cannot understand our spirit cannot fully cooperates with this level of supernatural...

We serve God by being in service to others. To that end, the apostle Paul wrote in the book of 1 Corinthians about how he adapts to his audience in order to remove any obstacles that would get in their way of hearing the gospel message. “For though I am free from all men, I have made myself a slave to all, so that I may win more.” 1 Corinthians 9:19 When sharing the gospel with the Jews, Paul lived according to Jewish customs, not because he felt obligated to do so, but as a way to...

Carrollton Let Love Win Lord Your love builds bridges that cannot be burned It speaks truth that cannot be learned It's a treasure we can never earn Oh, it goes places we're afraid of going It's not a fist it's a hand wide open Reaching out to the down and broken We believe Your love is the strongest way You're tearing down walls and You break our chains Even in this darkness hope will rise again When we lay down our weapons we will let love win Lord we lay down our weapons and...

Just recently diagnosed with Hashimoto Thyroiditis which is another autoimmune disease like Rheumatoid Arthritis except my immune system is attacking my...

Righteousness God's purpose for man is Righteousness! God’s reason for Jesus is Righteousness! And God’s judgment not only on the fallen angels but the fallen man is Righteousness! For as stated; “your Kingdom comes”. God’s purpose has always been for a Righteous Kingdom, and to deny those who would attempt to circumvent it. And being Righteous;

We live in an age of great deception. So much of what we hear from the pulpit (podium) in churches, from the news media, and from our government leaders cannot be trusted. We can’t trust much of what we read on the internet, either, or on social media sites, or even on Christian-based discussion sites. Lies and deception abound all over the place. And, much of this is premeditated, i.e. it is intentional for the purpose to deceive people. For, this is also an age of disinformation. And, a...
