Gospels - Acts


this is not the Acts of Luke
nor is the Acts of some of the Apostles
it is the Continuing Acts of Jesus Christ
thru the Power of the Spirit in His Church...

Written On Your Heart



Deut. 30:6
And the Lord you God will circumcise your heart and the heart of your offspring,
So that you will love the LORD your God with all your heart 
and with all your soul, that you may live.

Ezekiel 11:19
And I will give them one heart, and a new spirit I will put in them.  I will remove the heart of stone from their flesh and give them a heart of flesh...

Ezekiel 36:26
And I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you.  And I will remove the heart of stone form your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.

Jeremiah 31:31f
"Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will make a new covenant 
with the house of Israel and the house of Judah, not like the covenant that I made 
with their fathers on the day when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, my covenant that they broke, thought I was their husband, declares the Lord.  For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord; I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts.  And I will be their God, and they will be my people.  And no longer will each one teach his neighbor and each his brother saying, 'Know the Lord,' for they will all know me, form the least of them to the greatest, declares the Lord.  For I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more."

Hebrews 8:10
For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord: I will put my laws into their minds, and write them on their hearts, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

It's Deer Season (Archer) here in Northern Mn
I harvested a small 6 pointer this week with a Heart Shot
the above verses have been playing over and over in my head...
thinking how God must replace our Heart of Stone with a Heart of Flesh
We must allow God to do some serious Heart Surgery 
if we are going to beat the sin in our life, 
what is impossible for us is possible & miraculous for God!

Read Scripture Series: Matthew Ch. 14-28

Part II

Animated Explanation of 'The Messiah'

Read Scripture Series: Matthew Ch. 1-13


Part I

Just as the O.T. finished with Chronicles 
and it's exhaustive linage of the Messianic Family Tree
the Promised Seed
So Matthew (as well as Luke) opens up their Gospel accounts
tying into the same exhaustive redemptive details 
of God's Promised Seed
the Messianic Family Tree

New Beginnings...

We are both at the Finish Line & 

The Starting Line

WEEK 40 out of our 52 weeks - Breezing Thru the Bible

Many of us are wrapping up the Law & the Prophets
sometimes known as the Old Covenant or Jewish Scriptures
It is the foundation to our Judaeo-Christian Faith
Paul writes, "When the completion of time came
God sent His Son, born of a woman, born under the law" - Gal.4:4
another words, at the culmination of the ages,
at the climax of the Greatest, Epic, Redemptive Narrative
ever told - Jesus the Messiah (Christ) came into the world
when God's People were being disciplined,
"their enemies oppressed them, and they were subdued,
under their power.  He rescued them many times, 
but they continued to rebel deliberately
and were beaten down by their sin.
When He heard their cry, He took note of their distress
remembered His covenant with them, and relented
according to the riches of His faithful love.
He caused them to be pitied before all their captors.
Save us, Yahweh our God, and gather us from the nations 
so that we may give thanks to Your holy name
& Rejoice in Your Praise.
May Yahweh, the God of Israel, be praised from everlasting to everlasting.
Let all the people say, "Amen!" Hallelujah
Psalm 106


A New Promise, A New Covenant, the New Testimony
of God made flesh and dwelling among us...
