The Word of God says, All come short of the glory of God. All come short of the glory of God. That means the most anointed preacher comes short of the glory of God. That means the grandma comes short of the glory of God. That means the grandpa, the father, the mother, the little child, the three year old child. You say, 'How can a three year old come short of the glory of God?' We have to change my little three year old's pants about twice a day, still. :) But seriously, there are so many things goin' on out there. This is the key: Who Is Jesus? Who Is Jesus? Who am I gonna keep my eyes on? Who is Jesus?

The Word of God in Hebrews 1:1 tells us, In the past God spoke to our forefathers through the prophets, at many times and in various ways. But in these last days, He has spoken to us by His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things. And I'm reading in the International Version. God has spoken to us by His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things. And through whom He made the universe. Who is Jesus? Heir to all things, and through whom God made the universe. That's my Jesus. The heaven and the earth were created through Jesus, our Savior. And the Word of God says, The Son is the radiance of God's glory. And the exact representation of His being, sustaining all things by His powerful Word.

Some people think Jesus just came down and posed for some pictures. Tired to show us how to live. That was my philosphy. Before I was saved I was in Jesus Christ Superstar, hanging on the cross night after night. Night after night. Even on the cover of Time Magazine as Jesus. And I heard the name 'Jesus', but I used to talk to God. I said, 'Jesus, hey God. People tell me I'm suppose to do somethin' for you, or this or that. Well, I want to ask You somethin', man. What've You done for me? Ain't done nothin' for me.' That's the way I used to talk to God. 'I tried to pray to You. You didn't do anythin' for me.' I used to curse Him, because I didn't know Him. And Yet He was still Lord.

The Word of God says, After He had provided purification for sin, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven. Let me go back. Let me speak to you according to God's Word. In John chapter one....Will you guys stick with me on this? I know a lot of people say, 'Oh, he's no preacher.' I had a guy come up to me, I get cracked on everywhere you can turn. I had a preacher come up to me, he's a well known, world renown preacher. Walked up to me one time in an airport. He said, 'I know you.' I said, 'Yea, I know you. Praise God. God bless you, brother.' He said, 'You know, you're the darnedest thing.' :) I said, 'Really? I think I'm cute.' :) He said, 'I've seen you on T.V. You stand up with your long hair, and your wrinkled suits. No tie. You stumble through the Word of God. You don't even know the Word very well. You stumble through the Word of God. And then you do a couple of songs. It is the most ridiculous thing. All of a sudden you just raise your hands. And you say, 'Everybody who wants to get saved, come forward.' And all these people come forward. It's the weirdest thing I've ever seen in my life.' It's called anointing. It's called, Jesus is Lord. Song: You Gave Me Love. Praise Jesus, who loves us while we are yet sinners. Praise God.

My Deepest Love,
