This past Sunday the title of this post was the title of my message. Jesus was champion over every temptation of the devil. He was tempted without restraint. God has placed limitations upon the temper's temptations towards you. Because of The Champion, you can be victorious in temptation, too.
I pray that the fame of Jesus Christ will increase in our 55 mile area and the nations and that great multitudes from the prairie (and nations) will follow Jesus.
I would not have wanted to miss church the day Jesus stood up and read from the prophet Isaiah. The CD of the morning just would not have been the same. Contrary to seemingly popular trends, the gathering of saints to worship the Lord together in church is of vital spiritual importance. Notice, I said in church. Small groups and Bible studies are wonderful, needful, and great, but they are not church. I know, this is the Parson speaking, but the Parson's bible still thunders over the prairie: "Let us not neglect our meeting together..." (Heb. 10: 36)
Peter did not have a dim view of his mother-in-law, neither do I, or otherwise she would not have been at his house, nor would he have had Jesus heal her.
Jesus, in essence is life. He wills that all will believe. Let each of us bear witness to the Light.
