“Jesus Kept and Taught the Law, Shared Grace through Parables and Prophesy and Demonstrated the Kingdom until his Death, when he satisfied the Law and could now speak to us plainly.” – Brook Potter I very often point out the mixed message of the body of believers we have in the church today. On many…
“The Law is a list of Do’s and Don’ts, most believers forgot that the Do’s are in there.” — Brook Potter When I preach about grace, and the finished work of the Cross, often I talk about the Law and our freedom from it. Most believers agree that we are free from the Law to…
“God did not plant his Son into the earth, to reap Servants, he did it to reap sons.” – Curry Blake The incarnation of Jesus Christ is the biggest theological twist that ever was, and ever will be. That the immortal, incorruptible, infinite would be joined with mortal flesh, corrupted, finite flesh and enter the…
“If you are only listening to one preacher and one view, then you are missing much of what the Father is doing through the body around the world.” — Brook Potter In St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome, underneath the “Cattedra Petri” that houses “the throne of St. Peter”, there is something called the four pillars. …
One afternoon is set out to start a church. I found my marching orders in Luke chapter 10, and went out to do what it said. I found myself in a well-known coffee shop on a fresh Sunday morning, with a huge look-at-me Bible, that could not be hid, ordering a cup of coffee and…
“The chosen is anyone who answers the call.” – Curry Blake. God is no respecter of persons, what one man can do in Christ another can do. In every congregation, there are apostles, prophets, evangelist, pastors and teachers amongst the crowd, each waiting to be trained and equipped to go out and do the work…
There really are only two belief systems on the face of the earth, first the religion of men trying to reach God by their works, and then there is religion of God trying to reach men by his love. Now, as often as we hear this, many are not aware of how the religion of…
“If you have sin in your life, you need to take Communion by Faith that all your sins are forgiven by his blood!” — Brook Potter The early Church sure knew how to throw a party! No small crackers and grape juice for those folks, their communion services were no ordinary events, they were banquets! …
“Don’t teach them Grace! I know these people, they are vermin, if you teach them that all their sins are forgiven, they will go and sin it up! They will take advantage of God!” – The Religious Mindset I constantly remind people that it was not the world that persecuted Jesus, it was always the…
“If God uses sickness to teach us, he must have wasted time sending the Spirit, the Scriptures, Apostles, Prophets, Evangelist, Pastors and Teachers.” – Brook Potter One of my friends was really interested in healing but was stumbling at the verse of Scripture where Paul talks about his “Thorn in the Flesh.” My friend was…
I once heard a Pastor explain that Christianity was all about constantly keeping up an attempt to live right, and not sin, even though we will never actually achieve a sinless life, we are to maintain the effort. I’m surprised at how many actually think this is Good News. Constant effort, without results is not…
“Nothing pisses off religious people like Context.” — Brook Potter The Children of Israel are at the Red Sea, and the Egyptians are bearing down ready to annihilate them from the earth.
