November 02, 2008 Why did Jesus say "On the contrary, blessed are those who hear the word of God, and keep it."?
Jesus said "who hear the word of God". God uses the ears while the devil uses the eyes for his purposes. Hearing requires faith and to hear the words of Jesus in our hearts we need to hear it by faith and then apply it. We know that any skill we learn gets better and better when we apply it. So also it is by the words of Jesus. Unless we apply it daily in our walk we cannot say we are blessed. But if hear His words and apply them in our lives, the blessings automatically flow. It is thus for our good.

November 01, 2008 Was Jesus prayer about bringing heaven to people on earth, or about bringing people on earth to heaven?
Jesus wants all of us to experience the peace that passes all understanding. This kind of peace is found only in Jesus. This is because He understands us and our situations better than any one. He is guiding and helping us everyday so that we may feel His presence abide in our lives. When we can abide in His presence continuely which is difficult by our own resources, we experience the heaven here on earth.

October 25, 2008 Jesus described his generation as "Faithless and perverse". How would Jesus describe your generation?
Human nature has not changed since the time of creation, the situation is much the same probably worse and getting worser still. With hope in Jesus we can continue to walk in righteousnes even though we do fall into sin. The important fact is to know that Jesus is the only way to God our eternal Father. Jesus has forgiven my sins and even if I am unfaithful He is faithful.
