"Evil men do not understand justice, b ut those who seek the Lord understand all.  6  Better is the poor who walks in his integrity than one perverse in his ways, though he be rich." Proverbs 28:5-6   According to Galatians chapter 5, the fruit of evil are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like;  The manifestation of evil is unleashed through the acts and the mouth of men and women.

Therefore, this was shocking to them that Jesus said to call Him our Father who is in Heaven.  God's name represents His character, His plan, and His will. Calling God Father means we are His children. Being his child make...

Restored to Life "But when Jesus heard it, He answered, "Do not be afraid, " only believe, and she will be made well." Luke 8:50 (NKJV) There was a Jewish girl whose father was a leader of the synagogue. His named was Jairus. His job was to looked after the synagogue, its content and its arrangement for worship. He fell down at Jesus' feet and begged Him to come to his house, for he had an only daughter about twelve years of age, and she was dying. Jarius was a Jewish leader. He was not suppose to believe in Jesus Christ. It was against his faith. But he also was a good father, who cared for his daughter more than he cared about his job.  The minute Jarius left his job of caring for the synagogue to seek the Healer was the minute He gave up His old life! He could not hold on to that and go to Jesus. He had to make a decision. He gave up his old life to bring the Healer to his daughter. And, everything changed when Jesus came. However, while Jairus ...
