“When evening came, his disciples went down to the sea, got into a boat, and started across the sea to Capernaum. It was now dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them. The sea became rough because a strong wind was blowing. When they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on...
I heard a pastor a while back while accompanying a friend I was visiting, who rambled on incessantly about forgiveness, skimming the surface as clergy do and talking about should (n't), never once touching on the deeper meaning of why; in this case that we are all one in our sin of self interest...
“And Mary said,
’My soul magnifies the Lord,
and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,
for he has looked on the humble estate of his servant.
For behold, from now on all generations will call me blessed;
for he who is mighty has done great things for me,
and holy is his name.
And his...
At that very hour some Pharisees came and said to him, “Get away from here, for Herod wants to kill you.” And he said to them, “Go and tell that fox, ‘Behold, I cast out demons and perform cures today and tomorrow, and the third day I finish my course. Nevertheless, I must go on my way today and...
Man is never content enough to just do as we are told by God, but driven to analyse why and who is this guy anyway. It puts us back in the drivers seat and we've stolen the vehicle, taken a detour and made Him over in our own image. Stick to caring for each other as commanded while He takes care...
If we ask the children
about Bethlehem,
and signal them to tell us why
Christmas comes again.
If they’ve heard the Gospel
of Jesus’ love for them,
they will say “It’s running
to see what angels said!”^
They will see the Christchild
among travelled men,
be all the wiser for it,
about mercy come...
Psalms 34 (select verses)
“I will bless the Lord at all times;
his praise shall continually be in my mouth.
My soul makes its boast in the Lord;
let the humble hear and be glad.
Oh, magnify the Lord with me,
and let us exalt his name together!” (vv. 1-3)
If we are true followers of...
“Finally, brothers, rejoice. Aim for restoration, comfort one another, agree with one another, live in peace; and the God of love and peace will be with you. Greet one another with a holy kiss. All the saints greet you. The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of...
“After this I saw another angel coming down from heaven, having great authority, and the earth was made bright with his glory. And he called out with a mighty voice,
“’Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great!
She has become a dwelling place for demons,
a haunt for every unclean spirit,
a...
“Who is wise and understanding among you? By his good conduct let him show his works in the meekness of wisdom. But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast and be false to the truth. This is not the wisdom that comes down from above, but is earthly...
“”A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.’
“Simon Peter said to him, ‘Lord, where are you going?’ Jesus answered him, ‘Where...
“And his mother and his brothers came, and standing outside they sent to him and called him. And a crowd was sitting around him, and they said to him, ‘Your mother and your brothers are outside, seeking you.’ And he answered them, ‘Who are my mother and my brothers?’ And looking about at those...
Discussion went on a long while about the area that might be chosen for the containment with what wall they might build for it, and when. But there was general agreement that each of the homes for them all would need to be adequately finished, before anything like that would be constructed. It...
“Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children. And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.” (Ephesians 5:1-2 ESV)
When we imitate God with our lives, we are not mimicking nor are we impersonating him like some actors and...
“See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ. For in him the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily, and you have been filled in him, who is the head of all rule...
