Harry Potter Holiday

I am, like a huge number of the population, in the midst of devouring the newest and last of J.K. Rowlling's Harry Potter series. Not going to have much time for a proper blog the next couple of days so I am going to just post a couple of songs.

I hope that someone out there is reading and / or listening to my offerings and maybe getting something from them.




Remember that all thing are not always as they seem

The Upper Room: Historical Context for John 13 & 14

Image
In our study of John 13 and 14 —the sacred record of **that last night**—we stand with the Lord Jesus and His eleven faithful disciples in the Upper Room . This was no random location. It was a divinely appointed place where the King of kings washed feet, gave the new commandment of love, and poured out the promises of John 14 that have comforted every blood-bought fundamentalist believer for two thousand years. But what was the real-world setting of this holy ground? Let us examine the historical context with the same reverence we bring to the King James Bible itself. The Biblical Setting: A 1st-Century Jewish Upper Chamber in Jerusalem The Gospels describe the Upper Room (Greek *anagaion* or *hyperōion*—literally “upper room”) as a large, furnished guest chamber prepared for the Passover (Mark 14:14-15; Luke 22:11-12). In first-century Jerusalem, especially in the Upper City on the southwestern hill known as Mount Zion , many homes of wealthier Jewish families featured such second-...

The Power of Pentecost - A Call to Faith and Transformation

Image
The Book of Acts, chapter 2, verses 14-41, records a defining moment in Christian history: Peter’s sermon on the Day of Pentecost. This passage reveals the literal fulfillment of God’s promises, the undeniable truth of Jesus’ resurrection, and the birth of the Church through the power of the Holy Spirit. For those who hold to the authority of Scripture, this account is not just history—it’s a call to faith, repentance, and transformation that echoes into our lives today. The Event of Pentecost On the Day of Pentecost, the Holy Spirit descended upon the disciples in a dramatic and miraculous way. They began speaking in tongues, proclaiming God’s wonders in languages they had never learned. A crowd gathered, amazed and perplexed, and some mocked, saying, “ They have had too much wine” (Acts 2:13, NIV). Peter quickly corrected them: “ These people are not drunk, as you suppose. It’s only nine in the morning! ” (Acts 2:15, NIV). He pointed to the prophet Joel, declaring, “ In the last days...

Lessons from Korah's Rebellion: A Warning for Today's Church

Image
Playing with a new format today.  Let me know what you think. Welcome to my blog, where we explore biblical truths and their application to modern Christian life. Today, we’re delving into Numbers 16:31-33 to uncover timeless lessons for the church. Have you ever wondered what happens when we challenge God’s authority? The Bible provides a stark example in Numbers 16:31-33, where Korah and his followers faced divine judgment for their rebellion. This passage isn’t just a historical account—it’s a powerful lesson for us today. The Story of Korah's Rebellion In Numbers 16, Korah, a Levite, gathered 250 leaders to challenge the leadership of Moses and Aaron. He argued that all Israelites were holy and questioned why Moses and Aaron exalted themselves above the rest. In response, Moses proposed a test: Korah and his followers would offer incense before God, and God would decide who was truly holy. The next day, as Korah and his followers stood with their censers, God instructed Moses a...
