The Shepherd's Mission: Jonny
http://theshepherdsmission.blogspot.com/p/jonny.html
Growing up in a christian family, naturally, I went with the flow of what I was told, but as I entered the teenage years I began to think for myself. I started to question why I do what I do. Why go to school? Why collect pleasant memories when the decaying brain that contains them will be food for the worms? The doctor heals a patient, but in the end they both die. What's the point? So for a period of a couple years I would get out of bed, brush my teeth, and spark up a joint. When I wasn't high, I'...

The Shepherd's Mission: "No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God."
http://theshepherdsmission.blogspot.com/2012/11/no-one-who-puts-his-hand-to-plow-and.html
Friday, 9 November 2012. No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.". Luke 9:61-62. At first glance this text might seem frighteningly difficult to face in lieu it's apparent sterness. But face it we must, and make no mistake, Jesus is definately speaking in absolute terms about the subject He is teaching. Knowing our propensity to lapse and falter, Jesus seems to be setting a standard for "fitness". Ourselves for the Kingdom of God. God must do it for us. ...For t...

The Shepherd's Mission: August 2009
http://theshepherdsmission.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Sunday, 9 August 2009. I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.". For His invisible attributes, namely, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So that they are without excuse". This is in striking contrast to God's dealings with the wicked Ninevites and their livestock when He told Jonah,. This sound like anyone you know? What have you done? And shal...

The Shepherd's Mission: "My Sheep know My voice and they will not follow another"
http://theshepherdsmission.blogspot.com/2009/06/my-sheep-know-my-voice-and-they-will.html
Monday, 8 June 2009. My Sheep know My voice and they will not follow another". We are told that "the natural man cannot understand the things of the Spirit, they are foolishness to him, neither can he know them because they are spiritually appraised.". Unless the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain who build it". Do any of us want to be counted among those who proclaim at their end, "Lord, in your name have we not done many marvelous works! What are the operative words in that dreadful account?

The Shepherd's Mission: "I testify concerning the Jews, that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge"
http://theshepherdsmission.blogspot.com/2009/04/they-have-zeal-for-god-but-not.html
Friday, 17 April 2009. I testify concerning the Jews, that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge". Oh, but the hands of men are weak and feeble! And who but a close circle of family and friends can be said to love us with any depth or regularity? It is for good reason that man has learned not to depend on the "arm of the flesh". 160; What is the criteria for measuring a god? In which god should we trust? How can we be certain it wasn't just dumb luck? What do you require of me!

The Shepherd's Mission: Mark
http://theshepherdsmission.blogspot.com/p/mark.html
Now, I thought to myself, this guy was going to hound me to the grave and try to get me to go to his church and he will want to talk about Jesus every time he sees me.but.he was a slight sort of fellow and I really didnt want to hurt his feelings so I relectantly asked him, "What is it? It was not what I expected at all, just a tiny little booklet called "God's simple plan of salvation". Not so bad I thought to myself, at the very least I've got something new to read. And the very next paragraph which fo...
