“When the Helper comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, that is the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, He will testify about Me, John 15:26

Anyone who says the “Trinity” is not in the Bible, apparently never read this scripture.

When the Helper (Holy Spirit) comes, whom I (Jesus) will send to you from the Father (Yahweh)

It doesn’t get any clearer how the Trinity (Father, Son, Holy Spirit) are working in unison here. The overall goal is to testify about Jesus Christ! As Jesus says previously “Whoever Hates Jesus Hates God” (John 15:23) You can’t claim to love God and deny the deity of Jesus. It just doesn’t work.

Someone once asked , can you be saved and not believe in the Trinity? The problem with this issue is , what is your view of Jesus then? How can you truly be saved when you deny the deity of Jesus Christ? How can Jesus be sinless and be the atonement for our sin, if hes not God?

Many people and groups believe in Jesus, but most of them don’t know the true Jesus or worship him. That’s the difference. Can Jesus truly be your Lord (Master) if you don’t think hes divine?

and you will testify also, because you have been with Me from the beginning. John 15:27

Just as it’s one of the many jobs of the Holy Spirit to testify about Jesus, its our job also. Are you testifying about your Lord? Are you testifying correctly about Jesus? Rely on the Spirit of Truth (Holy Spirit) to guide you Amen!

“If the world hates you, you know that it has hated Me before it hated you. John 15:18

As a Christian you should expect to meet a lot of opposition. If you don’t believe me, why don’t you try preaching the gospel or talk about the Bible in a public location. It wont take very long, for people to oppose you, say they are offended, and try to shut you down.

This is why a lot of “Christian” Churches have really watered down their messages and even changed their doctrine to appease the masses. But Jesus told us to expect to be hated, if your changing your message to not offend people, you are simply worshipping the wrong Jesus

If you were of the world, the world would love its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, because of this the world hates you John 15:19

Some Churches don’t offend anyone because they are “of this world’ and not “of Christ”. Now I’m not saying we should go out of our way to offend people, but when your changing the gospel message to make it less offensive , your becoming a heretic

“You will be hated by all because of My name, but it is the one who has endured to the end who will be saved. Matthew 10:22

Jesus said you will be hated by everyone because of his name, do you ever notice what curse word most people say time after time? People continually use the Lords name in vein without even thinking about it. Why? Because Satans Anti-Christ agenda is of this world.

Don’t become a Christian to please people, become a Christian to please our Lord and God Amen!

For the customs of the peoples are delusion; Because it is wood cut from the forest, The work of the hands of a craftsman with a cutting tool. Jeremiah 10:3

Many people are relying on delusions rather than relying on the truth of Jesus Christ! God is telling Israel “Don’t be like the pagan nations that worship and rely on false idols and gods”! However we as people continue to rely on false idols and gods.

People worship and rely on money, People worship and rely on fame, People worship and rely on drugs and alcohol. But God is telling you , None of these things can save your soul, in fact they will destroy your soul.

Thus you shall say to them, “The gods that did not make the heavens and the earth will perish from the earth and from under the heavens Jeremiah 10:11

Everything on this Earth will perish and pass away except our eternal God. Don’t waste your life pursing meaningless possessions because they are temporary. These possessions will not save your soul, they have no life or purpose in them.

Devote your time and worship on the only one who can save your soul, Jesus Christ!

But the LORD is the true God; He is the living God and the everlasting King. At His wrath the earth quakes, And the nations cannot endure His indignation. Jeremiah 10:10

Our God is the true, living, and everlasting God, don’t waste your time with worthless delusions and idols. Follow the Truth, The Life, and The Way Amen!

The LORD called your name, “A green olive tree, beautiful in fruit and form”; With the noise of a great tumult He has kindled fire on it, And its branches are worthless. Jeremiah 11:16

You were dead in your sins, you were left with no hope but imminent death. However God called your name, he took you out of the grave, breathed life on your dry bones, and created a new and clean heart! However despite all of this, you keep backsliding, you keep forgetting about God and his grace and mercy

This is exactly what happened to Israel, God called them out of slavery. He delivered them to the Promise Land, he provided for them in the wilderness, he defeated their enemies when they were under attack. However Israel kept forgetting about God and worshipped pagan gods like Baal

What happened? The branches (believers) have become fruitless and dead. What does the Keeper (God) do to dead branches, he cuts them off and throws them into the fire

Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit, He prunes it so that it may bear more fruit. John 15:2

Jesus teaches about this, Jesus is the Vine and we are the branches. Those who don’t cling to the vine will wither and die. You cant be part of The Vine (Jesus Christ) if your attached to other idols. Cling to the Vine, cling to Jesus Christ! He will give you eternal life Amen!

I can do all things through Him who strengthens me. Philippians 4:13

Its been another amazing year for Tanner, as he continues to grow and develop. Typically whenever you see Tanner, you will see that big smile on his face that lights up the world. Tanner has a passion for life and people. Whenever he puts his mind on something, he gives it everything he has

When Tanner started swimming, his first season was almost over and he didn’t qualify for championships yet. Tanner became very upset about this, even bringing himself to tears. There was only one swim meet left in the season. The last swim meet Tanner qualified for championships on the back stroke. That set a spark in him to work even harder and go further.

The next season he qualified in two events for championships. And this time he qualified for a ribbon. He was so proud and excited. This again continued to fuel the fire for Tanner to work harder and get a medal. His ultimate goal was to win a medal.

The next season Tanner worked hard and took it to the next level. He qualified for championships in 5 events! He swam the 100 free style for the first time in his life and qualified. When Tanner went to championships , you guessed it Tanner won a medal in the 50 free style!

How did all this happen? Tanner worked hard, Tanner believed in himself, when Tanner was 18 months old he was diagnosed with Autism. He didn’t start talking to his was 3. We didn’t know what the future held for Tanner, but God has the final say.

I want to say Happy Birthday to my son Tanner, I’m so proud of him. Not just because of what he has accomplished but because of who he is. Hes the kindest , gentle soul you will ever meet. He has wisdom beyond his years. May God continue to bless him in Jesus Name Amen!
