GOD LOVES OUR DRAMATIC GROWTH BEST [MONDAY MANNA 143]

Dear ones, The modern day Gospel is so anemic I wonder at times if God is embarrassed to be associated with it. As Bruce Wilkinson of Walk Through the Bible spoke to me face to face as a new believer in the late ‘80’s, “Marc, Jesus is not vague.” I’ll always remember his chuckle and twinkle in his eye that muggy Friday night long along ago in Orlando as God was shaping this writer’s new heart…thanks be to the Lord for all of us delivered into His great kingdom! As we survey the Gospel landscape these days, what do we mainly see? Half truths, gross distortions, and an occasional rare gem of pure truth that usually gets lost in the shuffle.

LOVE YOUR ENEMY, 3 YOUNG MEN, & A GRAIN OF WHEAT [MONDAY MANNA 141]

THE NEGATIVE OF ALWAYS BEING POSITIVE [MONDAY MANNA 140]

She leaned across the table toward me from her seat. Her eyes seemed as wide as  dinner plates as she readied to speak. I knew something big was coming for I had seen this play unfold before many times in Christian circles. I could tell this was directed at me. Great distain was in her voice and her body language was charged full of anger. Then the words exploded… “You’re so negative! You need to be positive!” What led up to this outburst? Several of us at this meeting were talking about what God was doing around the world. We gave Him praise for this. When it came time for me to specifically interact, I felt the Holy Spirit lead me to proclaim the good things I saw but also the sorry, sorry state of the Western church, with an emphasis on the American experience. After all, I am a [...]
