Breakthrough - Week 4
This month on Christian Book Club we are reading “Breakthrough” by Derek Morphew. As we enter Week 4 we will be finishing up this book by reading; Israel, Confusion about the Kingdom, A Final Perspective, and Studying the Theology of the Kingdom.
I am not sure that reading a book like this is something that everyone enjoys. It is a theological book. I personally have enjoyed it very much. Thank all of you for reading it along with me. The subject of the Kingdom is fascinating to me. I would suggest that you take time to read Appendix III. It is a fascinating look at the Kingdom of God through the Book of Isaiah. Isaiah takes all the major themes of the Kingdom and weaves them through the chapters of his book. It is absolutely amazing. If you have enjoyed the study on the Kingdom, you may also want to read a book by G.E. Ladd called “The Gospel of the Kingdom”. Next to the Bible, it is perhaps my favorite book. I look forward to your comments on the reading this week. It is an amazing journey to be “Already-Not Yet” people.
October will soon be upon us and we will be reading “Velvet Elvis” by Rob Bell. I have heard a lot of different things about the book so I am looking forward to checking it out for myself. I will include a link so that you can order it if you need to. Have a good time reading this week and I will be praying for you!

one of the things i like to do is walk around and through key west and talk and mainly listen to those on the street, i carry a bottle of tea tree oil which has natural healing properties , and sometimes put some on whatever might be seeable. its that moment when i ask if they want help and they say yes that Jesus shows up to do the healing of the sore and the sole.it can be a realy lonely out there or in a mansion when you feel alone although it is those times of pain when we come to know we cant do it and we need help and we need to do nothing else but ask, and His hand is there with a tassel in His palm. this is were life begins and its what we do with it that brings the joy into our lives. following the Rabbi and trying not to miss a wipe. asking thy Kingdom Come and living as it has. walking in the garden as it was meant to be and treating all that is there with the obligation we were given.
