Sinopse
I write and preach and minister from my perspective of a 40-year career of trucking and 3-million miles across America. I'm now retired and creating Christian content for cell groups to form a brand new missionary type of church! -JC

Thy Faith Hath Saved Thee
03/04/2019 Duração: 28minGreetings!Once again here we are, and here again the Holy Spirit gives us just a tiny little verse to write and speak on. Sort of reminds me of a verse... "...despise not one of these little ones;..." (Matthew 18:10).So we're not going to despise, nor turn up our nose, or even scoff at something little. Little things can become great things! Like this verse... "a grain of mustard seed, which when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth:..." (Mark 4:31), and this one, "But when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs,..." (Mark 4:32)And here's another one... Luke 17:6 (KJV) And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you. When you think about it, the Word of God is a small or tiny seed, most of the words in the King James Bible are probably only about 5 letters long! I read some where that the King James Bible has a 5

The Things Which I Say
02/04/2019 Duração: 27minGreetings!I chuckle to myself just about every time I sit down to write and prepare my discourse. Why? Well, have you noticed a theme that seems to run through all my discourses? That's right, I write on such a tiny verses with only a few words! Believe me when I say, I didn't select this verse, or any of the verses that I talk on. Now, I can hear someone say, okay, how do you pick the particular verse?When I sit down and do my daily school work, GEC Bible School, which is apart of our church, the one that is brand new here in Boulder, Colorado... also the missionary work that I pray that some will take serious in their giving outreach. Building a new ministry is funding intensive, because of the ground that needs to be prepared, the digging deep into the city's ground (people of the city), (not the physical dirt...LOL), establishing a pier network for the foundation, which is founded upon rock (that means Jesus Christ!), and I can go on and on at all the enormous amounts of pre-activity that is required pri

Returned From Jordan
31/03/2019 Duração: 27minGreetings!Returned From JordanLuke 4:1 (KJV) And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,It's so strange to return from something. Just like I've been extremely busy doing tons of research in preaching, in studying different doctrines, and plans on building the church, and a whole host of other related topics, all for the purpose of preaching and ministering and building Gospel Evangelist Church in Boulder, Colorado. Life is so beautifully good! Praise Jesus!By the way, today is my one-year-anniversary of the horrendous skateboard wreck I got into that crushed my left knee and paralyzed my left foot for many months. One year ago was Good Friday, March 30, 2018... about 2:30 PM on the Boulder Creek Path behind the Foothills Hospital! How fortunate for me to be just a stone's throw away for where I would spend my next 30 days! Yep, two surgeries and 30 days of drugs... what a trip!But that's not why I'm doing today's discourse. I'm just finishing up

He Came Into All The Country
11/03/2019 Duração: 34minGreetings!At first glance you would think, what a simple title. However, what you would not know, until now was, I had another verse that I wanted to write about in today's discourse on the Word of God. And it was on an entirely different topic and discussion and even about a woman rather than a man. You see, the Spirit knows what should be written about and preached about. Yes, that is one hundred percent true! But let's see, just how many of us do exactly what the Holy Ghost wants to do. I think we all would be quite surprised at how few follow closely the Spirit.Some other time maybe I can write about the other topic that nearly always has my interest. But for today, let's get into our topic... "He Came Into All The Country"... once again here is our scripture, found in Luke 3:3 (KJV) And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins; When I read this or when you read this, what is the first thing that comes to mind? Here is a list of things that I

Who Shall Roll Us Away The Stone
08/02/2019 Duração: 28minGreetings!The moment that I read this, my very first thought was, "Wow, they had the faith to start walking towards the sepulchre without any idea on how they were going to move the heavy stone in front of the door! They just started off in that direction by faith!" That's what I said and that's what caught my attention! Isn't that amazing...not me...the faith of the women!Today's verses cover a lot of ground, from Mark 15:40 to Luke 1:58. These verses, or rather this section of Scripture is pre-selected through the 12-Month Reading Plan that I choose in the Alexander Scourby Bible App. There are four reading paces to choose from: 3 month, 6 month, 9 month, and 12 month. I've tried them all over the years, but I found that for the school that the Holy Spirit is starting that the 12 month is the best for our purposes.You see, we're not just listening to the bible. That is the first part of the school work. After that though is the reading of the verses, then there is the praying through the verses, then lastly

He Went Forward A Little And Fell On The Ground
07/02/2019 Duração: 26minGreetings!This passage of Scripture I read today which is from Mark 14:26 through Mark 15:39 is mostly to do with what Jesus Christ, the Son of God did for every one of us who choose to believe, knowing that many will choose not to believe. As I read, I could fell the weight of sin, not actually, but in my imagination, I guess you could say. But I could sense weight in this reading. Folks, what Jesus Christ did for us is more than anyone of us could image.In this reading and study today, I went fairly quickly because I've read this section of the crucifixion of Christ so many times, I think I've lived it in my spirit. Meditation in God's Word will do that to you.Therefore I only underlined and circled like, 10 verses, which is significantly less than my normal. As I was looking at the verses highlighted, I said to the Holy Spirit, I can't use any of these, there to contrary, to many people, they would get uncomfortable because there is so much going on that is not good.

Take Heed Lest Any Man Deceive You
06/02/2019 Duração: 26minGreetings!Before we get started here, I want to define the word "HEED", because it's not a word we hear often in our daily conversations, nor read in any of our daily things, that we read or even look at. However, it is such an important word that I want to define it right off the bat!HEED: Pay attention; watch out. Genesis 31:24 (As per, "The King James Bible Companion" by David W. Daniels) This is a wonderful tiny book that slips in under the cover of your bible and is easy to quickly look up words used in the King James Bible that we normally don't hear nowadays. It's only 50 cents and can be had at Chick.com (This is where I get all my Gospel Tracts from!) A little side note here: in my SwordSearcher Bible Software, which I'm typing this discourse in, is the Bible Companion! How cool is that?I think this SwordSearcher is so amazing, I love it...it makes writing these discourses easy for some reason! I'm actually writing the draft of my new book here in the SwordSearcher! Then I transfer it to another cool

First Shall Be Last
05/02/2019 Duração: 27minGreetings!Throughout the Word of God there are doctrines of the Kingdom of Heaven. This verse is one of those doctrines. A doctrine according to Webster's 1913 Dictionary: 1. Teaching; instruction. 2. A principle of faith. Also meaning a Precept; a rule to be obeyed. Tenet; Principle; Maxim; Dogma. Doctrine denotes whatever is recommended as a speculative truth to the belief of others.I find it sort of funny when I try to do things like a scholar or a professor. These things I am not! I'm just a trucker who has preached all over the country at one time or another to other truckers, truck stop waitresses, dock hands, warehouse staff, forklift drivers, loaders of all kinds, even the pickers and migrant help and even lots of prostitutes that frequent the truck stops and rest areas that trucks park in overnight. So, as you can see, if I talked all high-minded and "scholarly" like who-ever, I would never have gotten to first base! But because I just talk from my heart and from my experiences of living on the road

This Kind Can Come Forth
04/02/2019 Duração: 31minGreetings!The verses for today's study are from Mark 8:22 through Mark 10:19. I use the Alexander Scourby Bible App to track my pace using the 12-Month Reading Plan. Each day is about 86 verses, and takes about 10-13 minutes to listen to. While I'm listening to Scourby read this passage of Scripture, I'm also watching along on the App, on my mobile phone. It's wonderful to hear Scourby read, because I truly enjoy just the reading of Scripture. I really don't enjoy narrated bibles, or dramatized bibles, nor someone reading, like a minister, and then as they read they put in their own information or understanding or interpretation. I don't like that! I just want the clean Word of God read smoothly and deliberately, enunciating each word correctly and even the titles and names of peoples and places. As you and I know, there are a lot of names that are almost impossible to pronounce!After about 40 minutes I finish up my study and look for that one verse that I can write and then write a discourse on, like I'm do

They Considered Not The Miracle
03/02/2019 Duração: 29minGreetings!Mark 6:52 (KJV) For they considered not the miracle of the loaves: for their heart was hardened. It's just amazing to me! Yep, the moment I sit down at my little desk and pull up the SwordSearcher Bible Software (Link but no sales, I just love it!) to write today's discourse, I then can begin to see, what I'm going to write. Now, you have to understand that just moments earlier, I had no clue on what to write or even if I was going to be able to write anything at all! What amazes me is the action-of-faith!

He Marvelled Because of Their Unbelief
02/02/2019 Duração: 28minGreetings!The verses that I read today, in my school work, was Mark 4:27 through Mark 6:28 (KJV), 86 verses of Scripture! I go through these selected verses three times plus write a single verse that is made obvious to me, sort of. I Listen to Alexander Scourby read this passage to me, then I Read aloud the same passage, then I Pray (in tongues) the same passage, then lastly I Write over and over the verse that comes to me, about 6 or 7 times. The total time for this, like today, was 46 minutes. Everyday is a little different. Only once it went over an hour, 67 minutes. The idea is that each section of the four categories is about 10 minutes. For a total of 40 minutes a day, everyday, for the year. This will put me or you or whoever is interested, through the King James Bible three times a year, plus 365 verses will be written out and closely memorized to whatever degree you're able to memorize.The entire 1,874 word Christian Content Discourse is written at JCActs2:21Blog.com.

He Might Send Them Forth
20/01/2019 Duração: 19minGreetings!So why did I have to start this off with this type of prayer? And why would I actually write it out and speak it on the podcast? Why would I do it publicly rather than privately?I'm hot on this topic because this is such a big deal to me! I looked at all the verses today, and only this one was the one that kept coming to me. Why? I think it's because of yesterday or the day before's podcast and discourse that I wrote on having power when Jesus baptizes us in the Holy Ghost. This was a good example of using this power!The entire 1,655 word discourse is written at JCActs2:21Blog.com.

He Shall Baptize You With The Holy Ghost
18/01/2019 Duração: 19minGreetings!At first glance, this looks like an insignificant verse or maybe one that needs very little education on. Maybe, some say, who needs to study this tiny verse? After all, there's only 16 words in it, and most of them are of little value other than making the sentence sound intelligible. My friends, my dear friends, this type of talk is labeled, 'foolish talk.'There is never a verse that is insignificant in the Word of God! God's Word is Holy and inspired by God, himself... 2 Timothy 3:16 (KJV) "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:" The entire 1,756 word discourse is written at JCActs2:21Blog.com.

Remembered The Word of Jesus
16/01/2019 Duração: 21minGreetings!I think this verse has many pieces for all of us to look at and think about. Another thing that comes to my mind, is all the preaching I've heard in 45 years of being with Jesus. I mean, how many sermons have I heard? How many messages have I listened to? How many scriptures have been read from the preacher? It seems like it's an impossible number!Then I think, well, what do I have to offer? Then suddenly, there's an odd thing that happens, I am given a verse, that I can't remember anyone ever preaching on! Of course, probably all the verses have been preached on, but there are many that we hear over and over. That is what gets to me! I mean really, there are 31,102 verses in the King James Bible! Why do preachers have to keep preaching the same ones? I don't know the answer!The entire 1,650 word discourse is written at JCActs2:21Blog.com.

The Flock Shall Be Scattered
15/01/2019 Duração: 22minGreetings!I just finished doing my school work for today. And this exercise, in the way we have our bible school set up, is really more amazing and fruitful than I ever imagined! Over the last several months I've just been playing around with it. That is not the way to get anything done! If you remember in yesterday's discourse / podcast, I talked about playing around when the boss leaves, (when I was a kid), and even still I struggle sometimes with just goofing around instead of doing my work. But for some reason, this new year, but actually it all started the first of December, I think, when this thrust of energy pushed me forward to get the job done.The entire 1,952 word discourse is written at JCActs2:21Blog.com.

Who Then is a Faithful and Wise Servant
14/01/2019 Duração: 23minGreetings!The passage of today's school work was from Matthew 23:2 - Matthew 24:48. This entire section of scripture was very heavy! You know, I forget sometimes exactly where I am in reading the bible. So today's reading took me by surprise. I had forgotten that this part of the scripture is the last days of Jesus' ministry on earth. And thus he was speaking some very heavy doomsday preaching and teaching! I said the word doomsday because Jesus is speaking about the last days. These are the last days that we are living in, but Jesus is also referring to a later book that will be written years down the road by the Apostle John called The Revelation of Jesus Christ.The entire 1,700 plus word discourse is written at JCActs2:21Blog.com.

Ye Do Err Not Knowing The Scriptures
13/01/2019 Duração: 25minGreetings!Every discourse that I write is on a verse that came from the school work for the day. I found out if I don't do my school work, which is from GEC Bible School, I don't have a scripture verse for the day. I mean, I always have scriptures floating around in my head. But this is different! You can read the entire passage here!When I get to the fourth part of the school work, I have to write one verse over and over for about ten minutes or so. This is usually about 6 or 7 times that I write the verse. And as I go through this exercise, I get more and more excited! It happens every time! I can feel the power of God! You know, the word of God has power! It's just fantastic!The entire 2,155 word discourse is written at JCActs2:21Blog.com. Here's a direct link to "Ye Do Err".

From Your Hearts Forgive - Matthew 18:35 - Jan 9, 2019 Wednesday
10/01/2019 Duração: 19minGreetings!When I started today off I was in granny low. I had a very long day, 16 hours yesterday with a tough night's sleep. By the way, if I ever come to your mind, would you mind saying a prayer for me, I sure would appreciate it, sincerely! Thank you.In fact the entire passage I read today, which was, Matthew 18:21 to Matthew 21:7, is filled with enormous stories or rather parables, stories that tell of and about heaven. This section of Scripture is probably in the last month or so of Jesus' three year ministry. So, the twelve disciples that he's been teaching for these last three years is coming to a head.The entire 1,600 word discourse is written at JCActs2:21Blog.com.

Because of Your Unbelief - Matthew 17:20 - Jan 8, 2019 Tuesday
09/01/2019 Duração: 19minGreetings!I thought that title was a bit unnerving, but when I asked what's the title, I heard the words, 'because of your unbelief!' I sort of chuckled to myself, because this has been an ongoing situation for so many many years! The reason why, is because I'm constantly trying to grow my faith. Getting more faith to me is important to preaching the gospel and to ministering the Spirit. Everything I do is by faith! And of course everything you do is by faith!
