Grace-ism

I wrote about the older brother in the prodigal son story a couple of months ago, but after a really good message in church from my pastor this weekend, I’m revisiting this famous story. The prodigal son may be the most telling story in the New Testament. All of us, when we first come to […]

You Feed Them

Circling back around to Jesus feeding of the 5000. I came across something in my reading this week that opened my eyes to a way of looking at this miracle I had never considered. It’s nothing new, since what I read was written in 1975 by William Barclay. But it is new to me, so […]

Your God is Coming

““Comfort, comfort my people,” says your God. “Speak tenderly to Jerusalem. Tell her that her sad days are gone and her sins are pardoned. Yes, the LORD has punished her twice over for all her sins.” Listen! It’s the voice of someone shouting, “Clear the way through the wilderness for the LORD! Make a straight […]

Preaching and Healing

The sending out of the disciples as told by Luke. In Jesus’ day of walking among us, there was only one way of getting a message out and that was word of mouth. Newspapers did not exist, books had to be hand copied at very high expense. There was no radio, no television, no internet. […]

My Brother

The Kingdom of God is the family He is building. As Jesus was speaking to the crowd, his mother and brothers stood […]

A Dime a Dozen

Sometimes it can be overwhelming thinking about the power of God. It can be so overwhelming that we find it hard to believe that the God of all the Heavens and the earth, the God who created all that we see and all we don’t see, cares about little old…ME!! But Jesus tells us this […]

What is the name of His Son?

Been reading proverbs lately, and came across this little inspired bit of prophecy that just seems out of place. I’m sure I read it before, but it didn’t cause me to pause as it did this time. I suppose that’s why we keep reading, every time we read we see things we missed before. […]

Standing Still

Sharing some words of wisdom from the savior of the world this morning. I don’t know about you, but I can always use a little more wisdom!! No one lights a lamp and hides it in a clay jar or puts it under a bed. Instead, they put it on a stand, so that those […]

I am With You Always

After three days of writing about a bigger picture some of you might not believe in and I don’t even totally understand, it’s time to write something we can all feel good about! If you knew you were about to leave, and could only say one thing to the people you loved most, what would […]
