The Simple Apple
The more I write, the more a mystery, writing becomes for me. I often think that writing is like being a weaver with many different colored threads that are woven together to make the essay, or story, into a sort of multilayered work of art. Then when people read, they take the...
“If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. Remember the word that I said to you: ‘A servant is not...
Satan had just entered into Jesus’ disciple Judas who then left Jesus and the other disciples to go betray Jesus to the death.
“When he had gone out, Jesus said, ‘Now is the Son of Man glorified, and God is glorified in him. If God is glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself, and...
The large corvid bird perched on the edge of the stump took a small yellow piece with a claw, and put it up to the side of the head. The object disappeared there, seemingly into an ear. Then the giant percher, as she called the bird when speaking to others about that, took another yellow bit and...
Yesterday the Lord had me write a devotional from John 13:1-11 titled, “Except for Our Feet.” It was the story of Jesus washing the disciples’ feet, but it had a much deeper meaning than just him serving them in this way. For he made it clear that he was speaking metaphorically with regard to...
“Now before the Feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that his hour had come to depart out of this world to the Father, having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end. During supper, when the devil had already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray...
“And Jesus answered them, ‘The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified. Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit. Whoever loves his life loses it, and whoever hates his life in this world...
“For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue, and virtue with knowledge, and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with steadfastness, and steadfastness with godliness, and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love. For if...
“After this Jesus went about in Galilee. He would not go about in Judea, because the Jews were seeking to kill him. Now the Jews' Feast of Booths was at hand. So his brothers said to him, ‘Leave here and go to Judea, that your disciples also may see the works you are doing. For no one works in...
I am going to love everyone
in my 30-foot circle. -Bail Bardis
Gail is a good friend of mine. When talking to her she can come up with some interesting statements that grab my intention. One such statement went like this: “I am going to love everyone in my 30-foot circle”. When she stated this...
“The saying is trustworthy, for:
If we have died with him, we will also live with him;
if we endure, we will also reign with him;
if we deny him, he also will deny us;
if we are faithless, he remains faithful—
for he cannot deny himself.” (2 Timothy 2:11-13 ESV)
This is critical that we...
Hillariah was still among the early risers in the very early morning, where she and a few others prepared an early meal with the fire from gathered olives and pine seeds. She then was trying to recollect the vision that came to her that previous night.
She finished early as she ate with all the...
“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. For as we share...
“No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him. And I will raise him up on the last day. It is written in the Prophets, ‘And they will all be taught by God.’ Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to me— not that anyone has seen the Father except he who is from...
“There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. He came as a witness, to bear witness about the light, that all might believe through him. He was not the light, but came to bear witness about the light.” (John 1:6-8 ESV)
“And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and...
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the...
