Snapshot: In these last days, correction (and its various forms) are becoming taboo. Many who profess Christ take extreme exception to being corrected, chastised, instructed, reproved or rebuked and, if they can get away with it, will make those who subject them to such to suffer. This is indicative of a serious problem among God's people. Things ought not to be this way.
   
 
Snapshot: Many, if not all of us, have read Galatians 5. Everyone hears about the works of the flesh and the fruit of the Spirit at some time during their walk with Christ. In the midst of this dissertation, we see a "phenomena" in scripture that should grab our attention -- one that we must pay attention to if we plan to receive proper messages when reading.
   
 
Snapshot: I've heard many minister about Peter's water walking experience over the years. One of the things I love about the word of God is that it is Spirit and it is life. Because God's word is life, it continues to go through a metamorphosis (expanding and broadening).
   
 
Snapshot: In Paul's exhortations to Timothy, we constantly see an effort to provide focus for the developing minister. Not only does Paul provide basic instruction for successful ministry -- how to do it -- but he also gives basic instruction for the foundation of successful ministry ... a dedicated and victorious lifestyle, something that should be embraced by every Christian.
   
 
Snapshot: Have you ever had a time in your walk with Christ that you didn't "feel" saved? Has there ever been a time when you've said (in your heart), "It seems like God isn't around"? Has it ever seemed like a particular day or turn of events in your life was void of the presence, power, majesty and influence (grace) of God? Have you ever wondered why it seems like the enemy is having his way in our lives? It seemed like that because GOD LEFT.
   
When You Forgive (Murder in the Church, Part 6)

Snapshot: Ever noticed Luke's variation from Matthew of his account of what is commonly called "The Lord's Prayer"? Luke 11:4 reads, "And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil." Every Christian striving for success and victory in Jesus Christ MUST embrace forgiveness.
