I Want To Be . . . ME!
“I Want To Be . . . ME” is the introduction to my lesson “Who Am I?” about our identity in Christ. I shared this teaching at my “This Is Living” conferences for youth and college students back in the 70’s. It is a description of my personal testimony to find myself. We all struggle […]

Dr. Lewis Gregory He . . . is . . . risen! Yes, Jesus Christ is risen indeed! Only Christ is both the resurrection and the life. However, life—God’s Life—can only come out of death. So without the crucifixion there could have been no resurrection: no death, no life. One died for all in order […]

JESUS CHRIST: KING of kings and LORD of lords! Someone once said, “Mention one way in which you and Jesus are different.

MEDITATION: SITTING BEFORE THE LORD Yes, listening! Listening is essential if you want to know God and walk in His ways. I like to do what King David did. He would just sit before the Lord. I have found it helpful to sit before the Lord without any plan, agenda or preconceived ideas and let […]

Dr. Lewis Gregory When Moses appeared before Pharaoh, God’s supremacy was demonstrated by Aaron’s rod becoming a serpent. The rods of Pharaoh’s magicians also became serpents, but Aaron’s serpent swallowed up the serpents of Pharaoh (Exodus 7:10-12). Death was swallowed up in victory! Later, as the serpents bit the Israelites, they came to God for a […]
