What was it like to physically walk with Jesus when He was on the Earth? It must have been wonderful to watch Him with people, healing the sick, opening the eyes of the blind, opening deaf ears, making the lame to walk again, raising the dead, walking on water and feeding five thousand people. How was it to see Him die not only physically but also to Himself as He came to sacrifice His life for others rather than Himself. Today John gives us all a challenge in the second chapter of First... Read More
John has been sharing the way to determine whether a person really knows God or not – he or she keeps His commandments. (To Love God and Love your Neighbor as yourself.) To say that one knows God and not keep His commandments makes that person a liar, and they are without the truth. However, John continues his words with verse five of chapter two of First John: But whoever keeps his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him. When...

John the apostle has been giving instruction on how to have fellowship with God. He has noted that we must confess our own sin, and when we do this God will not only forgive our sin but will cleanse us from all unrighteousness. However, if we say that we do not have any sin, we make God a liar and God's word is not in us. John notes that it is important that we live without sin, and he gives provision through the advocacy of Jesus should we fail. The way to know if we are in fellowship wi... Read More
Talking about God and knowing about God is one thing, but having fellowship and relationship with Him is quite another. Many people “talk the talk”, but there are very few who actually “walk the walk”. So, how is a person to know whether they really know God or not? What if they think they believe, but they are really deceived? What if all the religious practices, methods, and ways of a person are false or misdirected? How is one to know whether he or she is actually a person who... Read More

Tallahassee Little Theatre is Making A Mountain Out of a Molehill... Oops, I mean "Much Ado About Nothing" by Tony Miller, Grapevine Staff Oh! The Drama! Shakespeare.

The Florida Museum of History This past weekend, Black Wings, a Smithsonian travelling exhibit, landed in the Museum of Florida History. It portrays American aviation through the lens of the African American experience. The bravery and determination of all those young men and women forever changed the face of our nation. It’s amazing to think that a historical look at American aviation, one piece of the social equality mo... Read More
What if you were on trial for the wrongdoing of another person? You didn't commit the crime. You were not even close to the crime, and you certainly didn't have anything to do with any part of the crime. Yet, you were on trial for the crimedoer. Could you pay their penalty? Would you pay their penalty? Now, what if it were the crimes, the sins, of the whole world? Would you, could you pay for them? Here is some good news. Someone already has. John the apostle wrote in First John ch... Read More

Is Health a De-Valued Commodity? by Leisa Peach of Advanced Alternatives Massage Therapy I ask you this because I have truly been taking stock of things in my life and the way I manage myself and my health. Upon further consideration, I began to realize that I am not alone in slighting my own needs, and that most Americans value their health by one simple litmus strip; OUR ABILITY TO GO TO... Read More

In discovering that God desires fellowship with people, we have seen where sin separates a person from God. Jesus came to remove that separating factor so that everyone could have a relationship with their Creator. Yesterday John as a spiritual father let us know one of the reasons he was writing this book “that you sin not”, and he informed us that if we do sin, we have an advocate, an attorney – Jesus Christ the righteous – interceding for us before the Heavenly Father. Today we... Read More
John the apostle has been sharing with us the idea that God wants to have fellowship with people, and that by confession of our sins that keep us separated from that fellowship, Jesus' blood brings forgiveness and cleansing to all who will do so. In chapter two of this awesome letter John writes in verse one: My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: We learned yes... Read More
John the apostle has been sharing with us how to have fellowship with God. He writes that we can have fellowship with God as long as our sin problem that separates us from God is removed. God has made provision for that removal by His Son Jesus Christ, and everyone who confesses his or her sins can now establish a relationship with the Heavenly Father. Beginning in chapter two verse one John now writes: My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any... Read More
In the last several days we have been looking at the book of First John chapter one. We have realized that God desires fellowship with people, and that sin separates a person from God. This is a problem, however, God has given the provision of the blood of His Son Jesus to forgive and to cleanse all unrighteousness that anyone has committed if they will simply confess and turn from those sins. We discovered that there is a sin nature within every person, and without the redemption of that... Read More
We have been enjoying the Apostle John's words in First John chapter one where he has been sharing with us how to have fellowship with God. God desires to have a relationship with people, and He has made provision for that to be so. Sin, missing the mark, is the deterrent to this relationship because it separates a person from God. However, God has provided the solution to the separation problem by having His Son Jesus pay the price for sin. Jesus paid the penalty for every sin a person c... Read More
