Back to School

Today is my first day back to school. I have taken several classes online as a part of my graduate studies. This is the first time I have been in a physical classroom which is kind of interesting. I have to be here in Searcy for a week in what is called J-mester.
This class is entitles "Theological Foundations of Ministry" being taught by Dr. Ross Cochran. We had a good start this morning with everyone introducing themselves.
This class purported to be very practical for ministry that has held true so far.
My blog this week will be an update to what happens each day in class.
Today will end with a dinner for all the students and guests and a devotional led by Dr. Bill Richardson (not the gov. of NM).
Should be a good and tiring day.

Blessings to all,

Who is Jesus? #127

Jesus is Lord (How do you know?)

I Corinthians 12:3

'Therefore I tell you that no one who is speaking by the Spirit of God says, "Jesus be cursed," and no one can say, "Jesus is Lord," except by the Holy Spirit.'

There seems to be many who would deny that Jesus is Lord because of circumstances in the world or the way they "feel" inside. There are others who, based on the same circumstances or evidence, would conclude just the opposite. To eliminate the confusion God gave us something (someone) very special.

Paul tells our Corinthian brothers and sisters that you can shout "Jesus is Lord" to the top of your lungs, and know that it is true, because you and I have been given the Holy Spirit who testifies to that fact.

Maybe our perception of the evidence might lead to another conclusion, but God's Spirit inside of us confirms that Jesus is Lord. Listen to the Spirit. He knows!

Thanks Father for your Spirit who lives inside us.
