(June 30, 2001 8:36 AM CDT)

Two people have recently sent me this URL for
Interview with God .

Read John 16 .

"It is better for you that I go." (verse 7)
Jesus returned to the Father.
He sends us grace from above.
He sends us the Holy Spirit.
He is never that far away.
Ask for the Spirit of truth.
"I have much more to tell you,
but you cannot bear it now." (verse 12)
As the years go on you learn more and more of Jesus.
You understand more.
There is so much to learn.
Today you read John 16 and get so much out of it.
Next year when you read it you will get other insights.
"Your grief will be turned into joy." (verse 20)
Yes, this is a difficult life.
There is sadness and pain,
but this only lasts a short time.
The Lord will turn your mourning into joy.
The sun will break through the clouds.
"Ask and you shall receive,
that your joy may be full." (verse 24)
I wish for you today the joy of the Lord.
Receive it.
Rejoice in the Lord.

Read John 15 .

"I am the vine, you are the branches.
He who lives in me and I in him,
will produce abundantly,
for apart from me you can do nothing." (verse 5)
Stay linked to Jesus.
Don't be cut off.
You will wither away to nothing.
Keep in contact.
He is your source of life.
"As the Father has loved me,
so I have loved you.
Live on in my love." (verse 9)
God loves you.
It is a special love.
Receive this love from the Father.
Be transformed by this love.
"It was not you who chose me,
it was I who chose you
to go forth and bear fruit." (verse 16)
You are chosen.
You are special.
God came looking for you.
He calls you to go forth.
Do wonderful things for God.
"They hated me without cause." (verse 25)
Are you upset with God?
There is no reason to feel this way.
He is a loving God.
He wants only the best for you.
You are a branch.
Stay connected.

(June 28, 2001 6:01 AM CDT)

Read John 14 .

"Do not let your hearts be troubled." (verse 1)
Do not worry.
Be at peace.
Lean on the words of Jesus.
He is there.
"I am the way, and the truth,
and the life." (verse 6)
Jesus shows us the way.
He teaches us the truth.
He provides us life that never ends.
He is all that we ever need.
"Believe me that I am in the Father
and the Father is in me." (verse 11)
Father, Son and Holy Spirit---
3 persons in one God.
We praise Almighty God.
We have seen the Father.
"The Holy Spirit whom the Father will send in my name,
will instruct you in everything,
and remind you of all that I told you." (verse 26)
When you wander away from God
the Spirit reminds you of the truth.
Come back to where you belong.
He is your instructor.
He will lead you home.
"My peace is my gift to you." (verse 27)
Receive this gift.
It is yours from your Father.
Rest in him.
You are under his protection.
Thank him for this gift.

(June 27, 2001 5:56 AM CDT)

Read John 13 .

Jesus poured water into a basin
and began to wash his disciples' feet
and dry them with the towel he had around him. (verse 5)
Jesus serves us.
He honors us.
We are very important to him.
Let us do the same for each other.
"What I just did was to give you an example:
as I have done, so you must do." (verse 15)
We watch Jesus.
We see his actions.
Let us be like him.
Let us do what he would do.
"It was night." (verse 30)
The light and the dark are in conflict.
Will you do good or will you do evil?
Choose the light.
Walk by the light of the Lord.
"This is how all will know you for my disciples:
your love for one another." (verse 35)
What do others see?
Are you a disciple?
Do you love as he would love?

(June 26, 2001 6:01 AM CDT)

Read John 12 .

They came out to see Lazarus,
whom he had raised from the dead. (verse 9)
I'd go to see him also.
How many people have you seen that were dead
and were brought back to life?
Then again...
If someone was dead in their sins
and gave them all up, they found new life.
That would be something to see.
"The man who loves his life loses it,
while the man who hates his life in this world
preserves it to life eternal." (verse 25)
Let go of your life.
Live for God.
Love God and his ways.
Preserve the eternal things of God.
"The man who walks in the dark
does not know where he is going." (verse 35)
It seems obvious, doesn't it?
Walk in the light.
Walk with God's light.
See clearly.
Why wander in the dark? You get lost.
"Whoever rejects me and does not accept my words
already has his judge." (verse 48)
Please, accept Jesus.
Believe his words.
Don't turn away from him.
Let him change your life.
Let him bring light to your soul.
He is the light of the world.
"The whole world has run after him." (verse 19)
Join the crowd.

(June 25, 2001 5:57 AM CDT)

Read John 11 .

"Jesus loved Martha and her sister
and Lazarus very much." (verse 5)
Jesus loves you.
He loves your whole family and friends.
He cares about you.
He is concerned about you.
"I am the resurrection and the life:
whoever believes in me, though he should die,
will come to life; and whoever is alive
and believes in me will never die." (verse 26)
Jesus is life.
He is rising to new life.
Believe in him.
Trust his words.
He will save you from death.
"Take away the stone." (verse 39)
It blocks your entrance.
You need help to move it.
You are trapped.
Jesus has come to rescue you.
"Lazarus, come out!" (verse 43)
Hear him calling your name.
You try to move and you are all tied up.
Someone rescue me.
Help me, I can hardly move.
Somehow you get up and move toward the light.
"Untie him and let him go free." (verse 44)
The Lord gives you freedom.
He frees you from your bonds.
You see the light of day.
You see Jesus and your family again.
They are all there to welcome you back.

(June 24, 2001 8:37 AM CDT)

Read John 10 .

"My solemn word is this:
I am the sheep gate." (verse 7)
He is our protection.
He is our shelter.
Stay near to him.
"The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep." (verse 11)
He offers his life to save us.
He is very generous.
We owe him a lot.
We should be more than grateful.
"My sheep hear my voice.
I know them, and they follow me." (verse 27)
Listen closely.
The Lord is calling you.
Do you hear anything?
Be still and listen carefully.
Read the Bible daily.
Think about what it says to you.
Pray and then listen for God's response.

(June 23, 2001 9:25 AM CDT)

Today we have a family reunion picnic.
And a friend, Jim, is in the hospital today.
Pray for all of them.
Thanks.

Read John 9 .

"Go, wash in the pool of Siloam." (verse 7)
The man was blind.
He could not see ever in his life.
Jesus comes along and puts mud on his eyes.
The man washes his eyes and can now see.
Then a trial begins.
"What do you have to say about him?"
"He is a prophet." (verse 17)
They try to figure out who Jesus is.
How can he perform these signs?
It is interesting to see who is blind.
The seeing people can't see Jesus.
They have sight, but can't see.
Jesus is right there in their midst.
They can't see the truth.
It is sad.
His parents testify that it was a miracle. (verse 20)
It did happen.
Jesus does amazing things.
We have a hard time comprehending his actions.
What is he up to?
"Give glory to God!" (verse 24)
Sounds good to me.
Give God all the glory.
He has come to visit his people.
He does wonderful things for us.
He opens our eyes to see him.
"It is unheard of that anyone ever
gave sight to a person blind from birth." (verse 32)
Jesus does things first.
No one does things the way he does.
He is full of surprises.
He is a trendsetter.
"You are not calling us blind, are you?" (verse 40)
The question is:
Can you see?

(June 22, 2001 6:01 AM CDT)

There was a total eclipse yesterday over Africa.

Read John 8 .

"Let the man among you who has no sin
be the first to cast a stone at her." (verse 7)
Who is without sin?
Who is perfect?
No one can cast a stone at another.
Ask God to forgive your sins today.
"You belong to what is below;
I belong to what is above." (verse 23)
We need to look up.
We need to get off the ground.
We need heavenly thoughts.
We need help from above.
"You will know the truth,
and the truth will set you free." (verse 32)
We are weighed down.
We can't get up.
We need the truth of God to set us free.
We need God's healing forgiveness.
Then we will be set free.
"I solemnly assure you,
if a man is true to my word
he shall never see death." (verse 51)
Be true to God.
Be faithful to him.
Do the will of God.
Live forever with God.
Don't worry about death.

(June 21, 2001 6:55 AM CDT)

Did you see that rainbow at about 9 PM last night
over Council Bluffs?
We had off and on rain last evening as I played golf.

Read John 7 .

"Where is that troublemaker?" (verse 11)
Jesus stirs things up.
He makes us think.
We have to decide for him or against him.
"Stop judging by appearances
and make an honest judgment." (verse 24)
Look closely.
Examine Jesus and his teachings.
Examine the healings and miracles.
What do you see?
Do you see the Son of God?
"When the Messiah comes,
can he be expected to perform
more signs than this man?" (verse 31)
Jesus is a miracle worker.
Can anyone else match this?
He is all goodness.
What more could you ask for?
"From within him rivers of living water shall flow." (verse 38)
The miracles continue.
You give yourself to Jesus and wonderful things happen.
Life springs up new every morning.
"No man ever spoke like that before." (verse 46)
Even the guards recognized Jesus was special.
No one is like him.
He is unique.
They were eye/ear witnesses of this.
Listen to him.
Catch every word.

(June 20, 2001 5:58 AM CDT)

You probably noticed by now that John
is one of my favorite books in the Bible.

Read John 6 .

"Jesus then took the loaves of bread, gave thanks,
and passed them around to those reclining there;
he did the same with the dried fish,
as much as they wanted." (verse 11)
Thank the Lord for all the food he gives us.
He is most kind.
He takes care of us.
He feeds us, as much as we want.
He gives us grace.
How much grace can you handle?
Explore the depths of God.
Explore much, as much as you want.
"Jesus realized that they would come
and carry him off to make him king,
so he fled back to the mountain alone." (verse 15)
There is a plan of God and there is a plan of God.
We come along and we think we know the plan.
God has a plan.
He has a purpose.
Be in tune with God's plan.
Seek to know his way.
Follow his course.
"I myself am the bread of life.
No one who comes to me shall ever be hungry,
no one who believes in me shall ever thirst." (verse 35)
There is a promise for you to cherish.
It is something to hold onto.
He is the one who sustains you.
There is way more here than just a few words.
Can you grasp it?
Let the Lord feed you daily.
He is bread for life.
How can you live without him?
"Does it shake your faith?" (verse 61)
What do you believe?
What is the truth?
I tell you to stay close to Jesus.
There are lies all around us.
You would think there was no sin at all anymore.
People do whatever they want in 2001.
It is sad.
They are mistaken.
They have walked away from the truth.
How can they live without Jesus in their life?
Where shall you go? (verse 68)

(June 19, 2001 5:58 AM CDT)

Pray for someone I know that needs surgery.
Thanks.

Read John 5 .

"Do you want to be healed?" (verse 6)
Do you want Jesus to heal you?
Do you want him to change you?
He calls you to greater things.
Come away from your broken life.
Be made whole.
"Give up your sins
so that something worse may not overtake you." (verse 14)
Let go of your sins.
Ask Jesus to forgive you.
You need the forgiveness of the Lord.
You need that healing.
"I solemnly assure you,
the man who hears my word
and has faith in him who sent me
possesses eternal life. (verse 24)
You read the Bible.
You hear sermons.
Your faith increases.
God blesses you.
He gives you eternal life.
Possess this great gift.
Never let it go.
"He was the lamp, set aflame and burning bright,
and for a while you exulted willingly in his light." (verse 35)
John was a light.
He burned bright for the Lord.
He was a shining example of love.
Do the same.
Live a bright life.

(June 18, 2001 6:02 AM CDT)

Read John 4 .

"If only you recognized God's gift..." (verse 10)
Jesus is there.
Many people know about him,
but do they ask him for this gift.
It is living water from the well.
The well is deep.
God's gifts are abundant.
There is enough for all.
"Whoever drinks the water I give
will never be thirsty." (verse 14)
Christ gives water to the thirsty.
You search and search and search.
Are you satisfied?
Are you empty?
You are missing something.
Jesus is a fountain of eternal life.
He refreshes you.
"An hour is coming, and is already here,
when authentic worshipers
will worship the Father in Spirit and truth." (verse 23)
Worship the Lord.
Give him praise.
Praise him in the morning when you awake.
Lord, we thank you for another day.
Bless this day.
Give us strength to do your will today.
We praise you, Lord Jesus.
Give us your Spirit to guide us.
Keep us safe from all harm.
Send your angels to watch over us.
Give us your word.
Bless our time for Bible reading and prayer.
Fill our thirst for you.
"Come and see someone
who told me everything I ever did!" (verse 29)
Jesus knew all about this women.
He knew her whole life's story.
He knew the good and the bad.
He talked to her.
He brought her new life.
She told the whole town about him.
Many others came to believe in Jesus because of her. (verse 42)
They found faith.
They asked Jesus to stay with them in their town. (verse 40)
We pray for Jesus to come and stay with us today.
Stay in our town.
Come visit us.
Come and teach us new things.
Change our community.
Bring us this living water today.

(June 17, 2001 9:08 AM CDT)

Last night I watched a program from 1982
of Billy Graham preaching on John 3 in Boise, Idaho.
It was on TBN .
"You must be born again," he said over and over.

Read John 3 .

"I solemnly assure you,
no one can see the reign of God
unless he is begotten from above." (verse 3)
These are important words.
We should note them carefully.
We must be born again---we must be transformed.
We need new life that only comes from Jesus.
Your heart must be made new.
"If you do not believe
when I tell you about earthly things,
how are you to believe
when I tell you about those of heaven?" (verse 12)
Do you believe Jesus?
Do you trust his words?
He tells us about heaven.
He has been there.
He knows.
Do you know more than him?
Are you smarter than him?
Believe in the words of Jesus.
Trust in him.
"God so loved the world
that he gave his only Son,
that whoever believes in him may not die
but may have eternal life." (verse 16)
God loves you.
He loves you very much.
He shows his love.
He cares about you.
He wants the best for you.
He wants you to be with him forever.
Will you love him in return?
"Everyone who practices evil hates the light." (verse 20)
Are you a bright person?
Do you live with the light of Christ?
Do you shine?
Live in the light.
Jesus testifies to what he has seen and heard. (verse 32)
He knows more than you.
He is the One.
His testimony his great.
Place your trust in him.
Be born again.

(June 16, 2001 9:14 AM CDT)

Read John 2 .

"Fill those jars with water." (verse 7)
Jesus asks us to do simple things.
He leads us to accomplish his goals.
He takes our water and changes it.
He transforms it.
He makes it something wonderful.
It is a quality transformation and others are surprised.
It is a sign. (verse 11)
Jesus reveals his glory.
He tells us about himself.
He wants us to know him better.
He wants us to believe in him.
"Destroy this temple, and in 3 days
I will raise it up." (verse 19)
Jesus said this, but they did not understand.
He was talking about dying and rising from the dead.
This was another sign.
He has power over life and death.
He is all-powerful.
If you read the Bible and don't understand, be patient.
In time you will know the meaning.
"He needed no one to give him testimony about human nature.
He was well aware of what was in man's heart." (verse 25)
He knows you.
He knows all of us.
He calls us to great things.
He calls us to transformation.
Our heart is made for him.

(June 15, 2001 6:02 AM CDT)

We start a new book of the Bible today.
William Barclay wrote over 50 pages on this first chapter.

Read John 1 .

"In the beginning was the Word." (verse 1)
The Word is God.
He always was and will always be.
He is the beginning and the end.
He is God.
"Any who did accept him
he empowered to become children of God." (verse 12)
The Spirit of God moves.
He changes us.
We are transformed.
We become his children.
"We have seen his glory." (verse 14)
We have seen amazing things.
Christ is alive.
The Word is a living thing.
Sorrow is turned into joy.
The sick are healed.
The dead are brought to life.
"This enduring love came through Jesus Christ." (verse 17)
He is love.
He is love that lasts forever.
We seek him.
We seek his love.
"I am a voice in the desert, crying out." (verse 23)
John was a prophet.
He proclaimed a message.
The people came to hear him.
They changed their lives.
"Look! There is the Lamb of God
who takes away the sin of the world!" (verse 29)
John pointed to Jesus.
He is the lamb.
He is the innocent one.
He will sacrifice his life for us.
Look and see.
He is God's chosen One. (verse 34)
Jesus is the Son of God.
Just a few words, but it is very hard to explain.
He is part of the Holy Trinity.
He is the second person of the Trinity.
He is fully human, born of Mary.
He is fully God.
He is Jesus.
"Come and see." (verse 39)
Jesus invites us to learn more.
Come away for awhile.
Read the Bible.
Think about who Jesus is and what he said and did.
There is such depth to him.
Pray for understanding.

(June 14, 2001 6:00 AM CDT)

It's been raining all night.

Read Luke 24 .

"Why do you search for the Living One among the dead?" (verse 5)
You search and search, but what have you found?
Are you looking in the right places?
Have you found someone who is truly alive?
Have you found the truth about life?
Jesus is the Living One.
He reveals himself in the Bible.
He is alive.
You have found him.
The search is over.
"How slow you are to believe
all that the prophets have announced!" (verse 25)
Many passages in the Old Testament point to Jesus.
For example, Isaiah 53:5 says,
"He was pierced for our offenses,
crushed for our sins,
upon him was the chastisement that makes us whole,
by his stripes we were healed."
It's talking about Jesus.
He came to save us.
He suffered for our sins.
By his death we have life.
"Stay with us." (verse 29)
Yes, Lord, we pray.
Stay close to us all our days.
Teach us, Lord, of your ways.
Open our minds to the Scriptures. (verse 45)
Help us to see what is important in life.
Help us to understand what you are doing.
Send down the promise on our lives. (verse 49)
Give us power.
Bless us, Lord.
Give us your peace.

(June 13, 2001 6:00 AM CDT)

Read Luke 23 .

"I do not find a case against this man." (verse 4)
Pilate saw he was not guilty of any wrongdoing.
Jesus was innocent.
He is the Lamb of God.
He offered up his life for our sins.
He was the sacrifice that redeemed us.
By his blood we have been saved.
"Weep for yourselves and for your children." (verse 28)
Be concerned for your family.
Will they find Christ?
Will they follow the Lord?
Lord, bless all our families today.
Keep them safe from all harm.
Inspire them with your Holy Spirit.
Bring them home.
"Father, forgive them;
they do not know what they are doing." (verse 34)
Jesus forgave those who killed him.
He knew they were confused.
They were lost.
They made fun of him and he still forgave them.
He forgives us.
We are so confused.
Jesus, forgive us.
We have sinned.
Forgive us, Lord.
"Father, into your hands I commend my spirit." (verse 46)
Jesus gave his life for us.
Let us be grateful.
Let us be amazed at his great love.
Jesus, we thank you for all that you have done for us.
We thank you for your love for us.
Thank you, Jesus.

(June 12, 2001 5:56 AM CDT)

Read Luke 22 .

"Just as you enter the city,
you will come upon a man carrying a water jar." (verse 10)
The Lord sees the future.
He sees all things.
He knows how to lead us.
Trust him and his ways.
He knows what is best for us.
"I have greatly desired to eat this Passover
with you before I suffer." (verse 15)
He prepares you for things.
He builds your strength.
He wants you to be ready when trials come.
He wants to be with you.
"Lord, at your side I am prepared
to face imprisonment and death itself." (verse 33)
With the Lord you can face all things.
You can stare death in the face.
Face your fears.
"Enough." (verse 38, 51)
Enough is enough.
Violence will get you nowhere.
Be a person of peace.
Peter went out and wept bitterly. (verse 62)
He had denied the Lord.
He had fallen.
The Lord looked at him. (verse 61)
The Lord sees you.
He sees you have fallen.
He is there in your weakness.
He weeps with you.
He calls you back.
Get up and continue.
He will forgive you.

(June 11, 2001 6:02 AM CDT)

Happy Monday to you!

Read Luke 21 .

"They make contributions out of their surplus..." (verse 4)
What do you give to the Lord?
How do you look at contributions?
Do you give the minimum required?
It is something to think about.
"I will give you words and a wisdom
which none of your adversaries
can take exception to or contradict." (verse 15)
The Holy Spirit is with you.
The words and wisdom come from the Spirit.
This is a promise from God.
God will inspire you.
"By patient endurance you will save your lives." (verse 19)
It is one day at a time.
Each day living for the Lord.
Calling on the Lord for strength to make it.
The Lord is with you.
"Pray constantly for the strength
to escape whatever is in prospect
and to stand secure before the Son of Man." (verse 36)
Pray.
You need prayer.
You need prayer to stand.

(June 10, 2001 9:12 AM CDT)

It is the Lord's Day.
Let us praise Him.
Attend church today.
Worship Him.

Read Luke 20 .

Jesus taught the people. (verse 1)
He was a teacher.
He was the teacher.
Learn of Him.
Learn from Him.
"A man planted a vineyard, leased it to tenant farmers,
and went away for a long time." (verse 9)
Some people think they have plenty of time.
They will live it up now and come to the Lord later in life.
They never return.
The time is never "right" to come back.
Stay close to the Lord Jesus always.
Don't let Him out of your sight.
"His answer completely disconcerted them
and reduced them to silence." (verse 26)
It is an amazing thing when the Lord speaks.
His words silence evil people.
They have no come back.
Their arguments are worthless.
Evil is a dead-end road.
"All are alive for him." (verse 38)
That is what heaven is about.
You are alive because of Jesus.
You live for Him.
You live because of Him.
Jesus is life.
Life begins with Jesus.

(June 9, 2001 9:34 AM CDT)

The President was here yesterday in town.
God bless him.
The College World Series started yesterday also.
God bless all the players that have come to town.

Read Luke 19 .

"Zacchaeus, hurry down.
I mean to stay at your house today." (verse 5)
The Lord sees you.
He knows your name.
He knows you are curious about him.
He wants you to know him better.
Invite him to your house.
Welcome him.
Make him part of your family.
"He summoned 10 of his servants
and gave them sums of 10 units each,
saying to them, 'Invest this until I get back.'" (verse 13)
All have an equal chance to get to heaven.
The Lord gives you the opportunity.
Will you take advantage of the opportunity?
Will you invest your life for the Lord?
He gives you grace.
Use it for the glory of God.
Live for the Lord.
"The Master has need of it." (verse 31)
We have many things.
The Lord can use them,
if you are lead by the Holy Spirit.
The things of this world belong to the Lord.
We are only caretakers.
Be ready to use your things to build God's kingdom.
"If only you had known the path to peace this day;
but you have completely lost it from view!" (verse 42)
It is there.
The path is there.
Don't lose sight of it.
Seek peace.
Seek peace with God.
Jesus is that peace.

(June 3, 2001 8:07 AM CDT)

Spring To Life will be on hold until June 9th.
Keep reading the Bible each day.

Read Luke 13 .

18 people were killed by a falling tower in Siloam. (verse 4)
Were they more guilty than others?
Jesus says they were not.
Bad things happen to the good and the bad.
Don't read into accidents.
There were those who were confused
and those who marveled at what Jesus accomplished. (verse 17)
Marvel at the works of the Lord.
Don't be confused.
He is God showing his love for us.
Rejoice that God has visited his people.
"Lord, are they, few in number who are to be saved?" (verse 23)
Some will make it to heaven and some will not.
Jesus says that door is narrow.
Many will not enter the door.
They are holding on to all their possessions.
They are holding onto hatred and sins.
Let go of these things.
It is just you and Jesus.
It is a tight fit.
Don't bring anything extra.

Read Luke 12 .

"Everything you have said in the dark
will be heard in the daylight." (verse 3)
What do you do when no one is around?
Is it something you want the whole world to know?
Does it please God?
Whoever acknowledges me before men---
I will acknowledge before the angels of God. (verse 8)
Admit you know Jesus.
Say it in the light.
Acknowledge him.
He is worthy of mention.
A person may be wealthy,
but their possessions do not guarantee them life. (verse 15)
How true.
Jesus said it.
Being rich does not get you to heaven.
Grow rich for God and not yourself. (verse 21)
Who do you work for?
Do you work for yourself?
Work for the Lord.
"Seek out instead his kingship over you,
and the rest will follow in turn." (verse 31)
Another key.
Seek the Lord.
Seek the things above.
The other things will fall into place.
"That servant is fortunate
whom his master finds busy when he returns." (verse 43)
A Christian does not retire.
Your work is never done.
Serve the Lord all the days of your life.
Be active with the work of the Lord.

There is something different this morning.
Can you feel it?
It is peace from God above.

Read Luke 11 .

"Lord, teach us to pray." (verse 1)
Come into our lives, Lord.
Teach us to praise you.
Give us what we need to live.
Forgive our sins.
Help us to forgive others.
Save us from evil.
"How much more will the heavenly Father
give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him." (verse 13)
Ask and you will receive blessings from above.
The Holy Spirit will come to you.
The Spirit will renew your life.
Each morning is new.
"At the judgment, the citizens of Nineveh will rise..." (verse 32)
They are there.
Jonah preached to them.
They reformed their lives.
Now they live.
"The eye is the lamp of your body." (verse 34)
What do you see?
Do you look at everything without restriction?
Guard your soul.
See goodness.
See good things.
