Thanks for streaming us in your lives. We are completing other projects and engaging  with spiritual  and physical family matters at this time. We will be back in July but we pray that you will continually  read and study the book of John and get to know Jesus better! 

We love you all, and pray that you will always seek and increase in knowledge of God!

This week we hear how people hearing the truth chooses not to read between the lines but outside the lines. Jesus tells the truth but the focus of the hearer of the word is to hear what they want to hear...which can prove to be fatal.

In our society today, there are so many voices bearing witness to who we are, some are true but there are quite a few that aren't. The world is suffering from an identity crisis and it's mainly because we are listening to voices that choose to not bear witness to the truth.

The scriptures mentions that there should be two or three witnesses that confirms what is legit. I don't believe this means everyone who is in agreement with you but as Jesus explains in Matthew 5:31-39 we can discover that witnesses can come from many ways but ultimately the deciding witness that bears with us is God and His truth.

There's 'Self' witness, 'Man's' witness, 'Works' witness, 'Word/Scripture' witness and more importantly 'God' witness. As humans we can think, say, or do something that word seem to bear witness of who we are but ultimately, if it doesn't line-up to who God says we are then we are giving birth to a lie. 

So, who or what are WE allowing to bear witness of ourselves and do they or does it line up with the One who has CREATED us and DEFINED us?


Scripture Ref.

Deuteronomy 19:15; "...mouth of two....three witness..."
Matthew 5:14;  "...you are the light of the world..."
Matthew 5:31-39;  The bearing witnesses
Mark 9:7;  "...a voice came out of the clouds..."     
John  3:8; "...everyone...born of the Spirit..."
John 6:42; Knowing who He was in the natural and not the spiritual
John 14:6;  "...the way, truth, and life..."         

None of us are or were exempt from sin.  Like the woman in this chapter, we were condemned and deserving of death, but someone who could have sealed our fate decided to pause and remind our accuser that he too was condemned and he had to drop his stones.

We have been given great grace! What are we going to do with it - continue in our sin or will we go and sin no more?
