Sounds of My Writings: Excuse Has No Use

When invited to follow Christ, many of us struggle and suffer from excuses. We find reasons to follow or not follow Christ in the manner we believe appropriate. Following Christ takes discipline and that is why the first believers were called “disciples”. It takes a lot of character to follow rather than to lead, in a generation where everyone believes themselves, leaders.


Luke 9:57-62


57 As they were walking along the road, a man said to him, “I will follow you wherever you go.”


58 Jesus replied, “Foxes have dens and birds have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.”

59 He said to another man, “Follow me.” But he replied, “Lord, first let me go and bury my father.”

60 Jesus said to him, “Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and proclaim the kingdom of God.”

61 Still another said, “I will follow you, Lord; but first let me go back and say goodbye to my family.”

62 Jesus replied, “No one who puts a hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God.”

Sounds of My Writings: Humility of a Child

The perfect image of a spiritually mature individual is found in the image and likeness of a child. For our pride and arrogance in the faith are masked by deeds, not by character. Jesus chooses the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong.


Luke 9:46-50


“An argument started among the disciples as to which of them would be the greatest. Jesus, knowing their thoughts, took a little child and had him stand beside him. Then he said to them, “Whoever welcomes this little child in my name welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me. For it is the one who is least among you all who is the greatest.” “Master,” said John, “we saw someone driving out demons in your name and we tried to stop him because he is not one of us.” “Do not stop him,” Jesus said, “for whoever is not against you is for you.”‭

Sounds of My Writings: A Powerless Generation

When we as a generation have substituted the government, science, medicine, and human reasoning to be the answer to our problems, we have forfeited the Lordship and power of the living God. A powerless generation is one who is "unbelieving/doubt" and "perverse/twisted". These institutions are human in nature and are instruments in the hands of a mighty God.


Continue to believe for the miraculous by believing in the awesomeness of God. He is able to perform miracles!


Luke 9:37-43

40 I begged your disciples to drive it out, but they could not.” 41 “You unbelieving and perverse generation,” Jesus replied, “how long shall I stay with you and put up with you? Bring your son here.”

42 Even while the boy was coming, the demon threw him to the ground in a convulsion. But Jesus rebuked the impure spirit, healed the boy, and gave him back to his father. 43 And they were all amazed at the greatness of God.
