In many Bibles the sayings of Jesus are printed in red ink. It’s not that these parts of the Bible are more important the others, its simply meant to draw our attention to the words of our Savior and Lord. As modern day disciples (in the Greek meaning followers or learners/students), it is important for us to study what our teacher is saying.
In the Gospel of Mark, Jesus’ first “words in red” are found in chapter one, verse fifteen. “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.” Before Jesus reveals Himself through His life, teaching, and works; Jesus proclaims that the Kingdom of God is at hand. This Kingdom is not a physical territory, instead it powerfully begins in Jesus and extends to and through His followers. This Kingdom is spiritual, personal, internal (Luke 17:21). God’s wants to establish His rule over the hearts and lives of His people. While God’s Kingdom will eventually include the restoration of all creation, it begins with you and me allowing God to rule and reign in our lives. What is our response to be at disciples? Repent and believe.
Each Thursday at 7PM I am teaching The Life of Christ class in the sanctuary at Christian Life Church. Nursery and children's ministry is available. All are welcome to attend. In fact, why don’t you invite someone to come to class with you?

Webliography
For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires.
Hebrews 4:12 (NLT)

In previous blogs I have shared with you some of my favorite books, today I would like to share some of my favorite websites. Each of these sites relate to God and His Word. My hope is that they bless you as much as they have blessed me. And, as always, send me your favorite websites. I would love to see them.
This website tells the story of Scripture exclusively through the use of LEGOS. At first, I thought this site would fun for the boys but the more I read the more fascinated I became. If you have trouble simply reading the Bible you need to check this out. It’ll be fun and you may end up reading more of the Bible than ever before. Due to the nature of some Bible stories, please check the ratings provided for each story before sharing them with your children.
This site not only has merged Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John it provides helps to prove that the Gospels are 100% historically accurate. This is a fantastic website with great research and tremendous video presentations.
These are my personal favorite online Bible study sites. I love having the Bible just a click away. Let me know what your favorite Bible sites are.
