I have moments of doubt

Mark 9:24  "Immediately the boy's father cried out, saying, 'I do believe; help my unbelief.'"

My kids didn’t believe me when I told them I could fly.  I don’t have wings; I’m not superman; I don’t have any jet packs. They had no evidence, so they remained in their unbelief.  “Prove it,” they say.

But they do not waiver in unbelief when it comes to God.  There is plenty of evidence.  Every day, God proves it.  They saw the lunar eclipse where the earth’s shadow fit exactly over the diameter of the moon.  They saw kittens born, looking like the mother cat.  They see God’s designed order, coupled with irreducible complexity everywhere.

Let  Dr. Jay Quine challenge your unbelief.  The evidence for God is overwhelming.  So in times of doubt, do not waiver in unbelief. You know there is no where else to go!

Romans 4:20 "Yet with respect to the promise of God, he did not waiver in unbelief, but grew strong in faith, giving glory to God."

The Biblical Meaning of "Death" by Dr. Jay Quine

Romans 1:32 "Death"
One day my computer died. Its usefulness came to an end. Fortunately I had backed up my files, or I might have died! The Bible uses the word Death as not the end, but for the concept of separation. When Adam and Eve disobeyed God they became spiritually separated from God. Physical death is separation from this body, but not the end. Spiritual Death is separation from God, but not the end. And eternal death is separation from God forever, but is not the end. This is Dr. Jay Quine. Rather than be separated when you die, be connected to God forever through Jesus Christ.

Quine Speaks on "Confirmity"

"Conform" -- Romans 12:1-2
None of us like to be considered conformists. We all want to be thought of as independent thinkers and unique. We want to stand out in the crowd, and be thought of as different. But the truth is, we all conform. A woman’s worst fear is to arrive at an event inappropriately dressed. So as not be thought of as weird, we conform to standards of style, politically correct speech, and acceptable norms and customs. But the bible tells us not to be molded by the standards of the world, but be transformed by a renewed mind. This is Dr. Jay Quine. Remember this word of challenge, and break the mold. Not to be thought of as weird, but to get your norms and standards of dress, speech, thinking, and living from the Word.

Jay A. Quine: Meditate on the Word for blessing

Psalm 1; Proverbs 16:20
The daily news rushes at us at a speed never before imagined. Tsunami in Japan; fighting in north Africa; disruptions in Burma. We hear about world events almost before they happen. If we let ourselves, we would stay fixed on monitors streaming the news. But the Bible tells us to stay focused on the Lord. If we do, we remain calm, controlled, and content. We are to be blessed. Proverbs 16 says, “He who gives attention to the word shall find good, and blessed is he who trusts in the Lord.” This is Dr. Jay Quine. Remember this word, “blessed,” and be content amidst the chaos of the modern world, like a tree planted by streams of water. Meditating on the word, and not the news, day and night.

Dr. Jay A. Quine on John's Gospel - Quick Overview

Written by John in Ephesus (?), c. AD 90

John explicitly states that he wrote so that the reader will have a basis to believe that Jesus is the Christ, in order to have “life” (20:31): both eternal life and a unique quality of life today. John’s gospel is also an apologetic against Judaism and incipient gnosticism, and supplies information not found in the other gospels.

Chapters 1:1-18 Prologue

John identifies Jesus as the “word” who is God, who is the creator, and who reveals God to all. While others brought revelation, only through the incarnation of the “word” came “grace and truth.”

Chapters 1:19—12:50 Public Ministry

Seven miraculous signs punctuate Christ’s public ministry, verifying the truthfulness of His message. These signs unequivocally prove that Jesus is the Christ, and through Him comes life (the seventh being the raising of Lazarus from the dead, 11:1-45). John’s invitation, “whosoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life,” can certainly be trusted.

Chapters 13:1—17:26 Private Ministry (Upper Room Discourse)

The “life” Jesus offers not only includes eternal life, but also a unique quality of life through the blessing of being united to God. Further, He will send the Holy Spirit to empower His disciples to live this life (14:15-26) and enjoy victory in the world because of His victorious overcoming of the world (16:28-33). The section ends with Jesus praying for the continued growth of his disciples (17:1-26).

Chapters 18:1—2-:31 Passion and Resurrection

Only by His conciliation are the Roman soldiers able to arrest and take Jesus into custody (18:1-11). Through the trials and crucifixion this record shows that, although brutal, it is Jesus who is in control. Even Pilate is used by God to affirm that Jesus “is the King of the Jews” (19:19). Jesus, now resurrected, reminds the hiding disciples that they will not be sent into the world alone, but with the Holy Spirit.

Chapters 21:1-25 Epilogue

Even after death Jesus is the same person, with power (20:1-14), and compassion (20:15-20). He instructs Peter to carry out His commission, and “follow me.” This gospel ends with an affirmation of its truthfulness.

Quine's View of the Key Verse: John 20:30-31

“Many other signs Jesus therefore also performed in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book, but these have been written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing you may have life in His name.”
