People are searching more for experiences (good feelings) than knowledge (real wisdom) and belonging (community) more than truth and liberty, especially in these Last Days of deception we find ourselves in. Why is this? I believe it’s because truth is objective and confronts ‘our’ lies and waywardness. The Good News? If we’ll embrace it by accepting responsibility and partner with God (which includes His Word and His People), Who longs to write HIS-story with our everyday lives, we can get…and stay…powerfully free. Then others, who are also Hungry, will learn to “follow us, as we follow Christ,” which fosters ‘world-change’ and even greater joy! Epiphany to me, dkb 9/8-9/9/24.

What REALLY Matters?
When you die, you’ll have to let go of everything without any choice so why not exercise your power-to-choose and minimize now, getting blessed with the joy of giving…and also being less encumbered with temporal things that truly do not satisfy? In this ‘Joy-of-generosity’ sowing, you shall indeed reap way Beyond your deepest desires and most extravagant imagination. Ephesians 3:16-20.

SOUND Evidence
Receiving Jesus’ supernatural, saving Holy Spirit Gift, speaking in an unacquired language by His infilling power of cleansing, healing and liberating love (just like the Original/Early Christians in the Biblical Book of Acts and Beyond received!) is the initial “Sound Evidence of our release from mortal liability to sin.” From Evangelist & Church Growth Leader, Preston Plemmons’ 5/5/24 ministry message at TheRockChurchSV.com
MORE THAN a Substitute
“Jesus didn’t just die for me, He died as me! What’s more, He was buried and rose again as me; that is, in my place, knowing that I was unable to do so, much less efficaciously. This…and nothing but this.” Pastor/Coach/Entrepreneur/Author of Wealth with God curriculum, Jim Baker.
