Matthew 8:1-3 (NIV) 1When he came down from the mountainside, large crowds followed him. 2A man with leprosy came and knelt before him and said, “Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean.” 3Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” he said. “Be clean!” Immediately he was cured of his leprosy.
The Jews lumped all types of skin diseases under one category. God had given Moses specific instruction about quarantining those who had skin disease. They were to live apart from others. If anyone approached them they had to warn them by shouting, “Unclean!”. To touch a person that had a skin disease required the one who touched them to go through a cleansing ritual to see if they had contracted the disease. This man’s disease must have been quite obvious. He may have had what we call leprosy. There was no need to tell Jesus what it was that he needed cleansing from.
It is hard to imagine not having the touch of another person for a long period of time. The man must have been not only suffering physically but emotionally as well. As he yelled, “Unclean!”, the people parted as if an invisible wedge cleared the way to Jesus. “Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean.” The man expressed His faith in the ability of Jesus. He called Him a master. Jesus does not have servants and great wealth. He is a different kind of lord. He is master over His creation.
Then Jesus did something that required faith. He touched the man. If the man was not immediately cured, Jesus would have been considered defiled. Jesus would have to go through the cleansing ritual. Jesus responded, “I am willing. Be clean!” His touch and words made the man whole. We cannot defile Jesus. His purity overcomes our defilement. He is willing to touch and cleanse you. Are you suffering? Know that He is willing. He will touch you. His purity is greater than your defilement.
Consider: Jesus is willing to reach out and touch you.
Anti-Israel Divestment Campaigns Kick Off On Campuses Across The US .
Student groups across the US are renewing their efforts to pass anti-Israel divestment resolutions. Following a defeat two years ago, a coalition of student groups at Ohio State University (OSU) — under the auspices of “OSU Divest: Buckeyes for Human Rights” — is seeking to put the issue to a vote in the Undergraduate Student Government (USG) in the spring. The OSU Divest measure calls on the student government to “cease and/or prohibit any investments in G4S, Caterpillar, CoreCivic, The GEO Group and Hewlett Packard Enterprise until they are no longer engaged in the violation of human rights of Palestinians and other practices deemed unethical by the Buckeye community.” The group is currently attempting to gather the 1,895 signatures needed from the student body to secure the measure on the USG ballot, the campus newspaper The Lantern reported. At the…
The ACLU’s war on common sense…
Leading the charge against the Trump executive order, the ACLU – which boasts it hopes to ‘carpet-bomb’ the new administration – is undercutting national security. The American Civil Liberties Union is leading the charge against President Trump’s order to temporarily halt immigrants from seven Middle Eastern countries identified by the Obama administration as hotbeds of terrorism. So far, they have managed to find sympathetic judges in friendly climes such as the Ninth Circuit. The group had promptly filed a lawsuit against the order, which it calls “Trump’s Muslim ban,” despite the fact that it allows in travelers from more than 40 other Muslim majority nations comprising more than a billion people, plus India, which has an estimated 300 million Muslims. Last week, 50 ACLU affiliates filed Freedom of Information Act requests with Customs and Border Protection field offices inquiring how the new policy…
‘Corrupt’ U.S. refugee program riddled w/lies, fraud
In the wake of the 9th Circuit Court ruling against President Donald Trump’s executive order calling for a travel ban on refugees from seven Islamic nations, five examples of lies, fraud and corruption that have stricken the virtually unchecked immigrant relocation program are being revealed. As an expert on Islam, WND News Editor Leo Hohmann has uncovered the plan set by the Obama administration to change America by altering its people and values via its controversial refugee resettlement program – a process that conservative critics argue will ultimately work to supplant the guiding principles and beliefs that have formed the backbone of the United States for more than two centuries. The five most significant examples of lies, fraud and corruption pointed out by Hohmann in his book Stealth Invasion: Muslim Conquest through Immigration and the Resettlement Jihad expose the dangers…
President Trump, like King Cyrus, appears an unlikely champion for God’s purposes…
The Jewish Temple Mount movement are excited over the recent election of Donald Trump. They know very well that rebuilding the Jewish temple in today’s world would be a dangerous and politically incorrect task. In their view, if there is any modern political leader with the guts and determination to stand behind such a project, it could be President Trump. Biblically, many Christians affirm that the Jewish temple will be rebuilt at some point in the End Times. Could President Trump’s strong pro-Israel stand be the game changer which could help lay the groundwork? What role would President Putin play in the mix? **The Cyrus Mandate** A number of Christian leaders have been comparing Trump to the Biblical King Cyrus. They point out that King Cyrus was a leader called and appointed by God. Despite the fact that this Persian…

Matthew 7:15-16 (NIV) 15“Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. 16By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? Jesus taught us to watch out for false prophets. Many people claim to have a message from God. Outwardly it is hard to spot them. The ‘sheep’s clothing’ often causes us to think they are one of God’s children. But the outside and the inside are totally different. For most people, the person who rants and raves and condemns everyone is easily spotted as being off track, but what about these that appear to be gentle and meek? How are we supposed to spot them? One way to identify a plant is by the leaf, but even then it is easy…
Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it….
Matthew 7:13-14 (NIV) 13“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it. Contrary to popular humanist opinion, the Master teacher taught that few people have found the path to life. The world is telling us that all paths lead to life. It is teaching that your path is just as good as any other. Jesus flat out contradicts that idea. There is no way around His statement of fact. Either this man, whom the world respects as a great teacher, was totally off base, or postmodern thinking is dead wrong. Consider the fact that Jesus’ teaching has stood strong for 2000 years, and postmodern teaching…

Matthew 7:7-8, 12 (NIV) 7“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 8For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened. 12So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets. Man has a tendency to act as if heaven was stingy. We go to God and ask as if His resources were limited. Our poverty in asking, seeking and knocking reflects our poverty of understanding the gracious heart of our Father. He speaks, and resources come into existence. Perhaps we have this mistaken attitude because we so often see people who will not go to Him for their needs. We refuse…
False Teacher,“Circus Church.”
** “Circus Church.”** Over at Pulpit & Pen, Justin Pierce tackles the train wreck known as the Passion Conference hosted by Louis Giglio, pastor of Passion City Church in Atlanta. Pierce considers Passion “an ecumenical affiliation of some of the worst heretics and false teachers who have ever been associated with the body of Christ.” His accusation will no doubt strike some people as rather harsh. So this is where the Christian’s discernment skills should come in to play. The Apostle John admonishes us to “test the Spirits to see whether they are from God.” Why? Because “many false prophets have gone out into the world.” (1 John 4:1) This includes testing the teaching of our Christian leaders to see if what they teach is biblical. With this in mind, those who wish to “test” Louis Giglio can visit discernment…
