“There are apostates in the pulpit, in the palace, and in the poorhouse.”

Jude

Jesus asks the man to “take up his bed and walk”.  Obviously, He wanted to see if they would see the miracle or cry foul.  He could have said, “Leave your mat behind and get out of this place”.    

John 5:1-15

“Many Christians and church congregations have abandoned the dynamic power of true Spirit lead praise, worship, and the sacrifice of their lips to God. They have fallen into the rut and rote worship of religion by the letter when God really wants them to worship in Spirit and truth. We ought to know better, but to many of us don’t act like it.”

Garlington

A great work of God requires great testing of the worker’s faith. In order to walk with God, we must be willing to lay down things that matter to us, trusting that God has something better in store.

“When we allow faith to overcome our cynicism and doubt, we make room for God to birth new things in our lives.”

Hebrews 11:11-16

“There are many people who believe in God, but they don’t believe God. They are not convinced that if they give themselves entirely to God, God will give Himself entirely to them.”

Hebrews 11:5-12

Psalm 32
32 Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven,
Whose sin is covered.
2 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord does not [b]impute iniquity,
And in whose spirit there is no deceit…….

“Faith is not a tool to get what we want from God. Faith is the evidence of what God has already secured for us, even if we can’t see it.”
Hebrews11:1-6

“The only way to escape eternal judgment and inherit eternal life is to receive the eternal sacrifice that Jesus made once for all.”
