Today, no matter what task is facing you, you can do it. In Philippians 4: 11-13 today, Paul is talking about the trials that he has faced in His life and in His ministry. He recounts them all. Listen to what he says: Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned in [...]

Jesus often communicated with parables. These were stories that related the point He was trying to get across to common things that the people of the day would understand. Jesus was followed mainly by the common people of His day. So, many of His parables talk about things they (and we) would understand. Family. Land. [...]
The Way

Jesus Christ is the way to life. That’s it. That’s it. That sounds too simple. It sounds too exclusive. It’s not smart enough. It’s old-fashioned. It’s out of date. It’s simple-minded, foolish, and not at all fashionable in the world we live in. But it is the truth. Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, [...]
Do Not Be Afraid

Paul in his ministry did a lot of pretty scary things. He went to some pretty rough places. He faced down some pretty tough dudes. He was willing to do all of this, because He had a passion, a calling a desire to take the good news of Jesus’ love, mercy, and salvation to as [...]
When Your Prayer Life is Hard

Jesus models for us, in our lives, what life should be like. He shows to us the model of Christian life and faithfulness. Will we ever live as He lived? No likely. But, He shows us what we should aspire to. He shows us what we should chase after. We should all, in our lives, [...]

Somethings in life are bigger than us. Somethings in life are beyond us. Somethings are bigger than our ability to understand or our ability to plan. God’s plan of salvation is one of them. When we think about the cross and Jesus dying upon it, there are so many things that we can focus on. [...]

One of the conversations I was having last night with my Disciple Bible study was the conversation about the death of Jesus on Good Friday. Did Judas have any choice in what was happening? (My answer, yes, all humans have free will). What if he’d have not done it? We were talking all the questions [...]
What Matters
Posted in Reflections, tagged Jesus, Theology, What Matters on March 27, 2012 | Leave a Comment »
I’ve never been one for arguing about theology. I’ve never been one to really want to fuss with others about what I believe and what they believe. Now, I’ve got a theology. I know what I believe about God. And I really like what I believe about God. I think what I believe about relates [...]
Doubt

John the Baptist knew who Jesus was. Scripture tells the story that even while he was in his mother’s womb, he leapt for joy when Mary came to visit, for even then he knew that the Messiah was there. John was the one appointed by God to go and to prepare the way for Jesus. [...]
Only Jesus

Listen to a reading today from Mark 8:1-8. And listen to it like you’ve never heard it before: In those days, when again a great crowd had gathered, and they had nothing to eat, he called his disciples to him and said to them, “I have compassion on the crowd, because they have been with [...]
