    Who Decides - God or Us?

    For the past 10 years, I have been meeting persons who have the view that you do not have to take things in the Bible literally. They have the view that you get to decide if it's literal or not, and in most cases, people take almost everything in the Bible symbolic, from Genesis through to...

    Go God's Way, Not Your Way

    “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...

    Is evaluating Luke 14:25-33 verses which discusses the Parable about Discipleship Tested / Counting the cost as instructions for Personal Financial Planning/Project management/Business Planning be considered as taking said verses out of context? The reason I'm asking is because Luke 14:25-33...

Again he sent other servants, saying...

    The Parable Of The Sower

    The Parable of the Sower “That same day Jesus went out of the house and sat by the sea. Such large crowds gathered around Him that He got into a boat and sat down, while all the people stood on the shore.

    The Spirit Is Willing, But The Body Is Weak

    Today, while it is still called today, is filled with opportunity and purpose. Even if you have only one hour left before you sleep there is ample time to surrender all and yield to the Heavenly Father’s will. Too often, those who truly abide in Christ find themselves consumed and distracted by...

    The Parable Of The Weeds

    Jesus taught us many things in both word and deed throughout His earthly ministry. Only a small sampling of these accounts are captured as part of the scriptures in what we commonly refer to as the Gospels. These same scriptures tell us, “Whoever claims to abide in Him must walk as Jesus...

    The Parable Of The Ten Virgins

    Jesus gave us many parables to describe the kingdom of heaven. Some of these included the use of a banquet, talents, sheep and goats, a fig tree, and virgins to name a few. In each case, Jesus illustrated for us that the kingdom is intended for all of mankind, yet only a few will enter in the...

    The clarity of parables?

    Mark 4:1-33 seems to be an organised whole rather than disparate passages brought together. This is one of those parables that does need an interpretation to understand it. The original audience may have understood the sowing of seed as preaching the message of the kingdom but it's not obvious...

    The Parable of the Sower: “A farmer went out to sow his seed. And as he was sowing, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it. Some fell on rocky ground, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow. But when the sun rose, the...

    Religious Conservatives Don't Fully Understand the Good Samaritan

    I have noticed that religious conservatives don't grasp all aspects of the story of the Good Samaritan. This is certainly important considering that the parables of Christ contain the core of His teaching. It is remarkable considering that conservatives claim that they are the ones who have...

    Parable of cloth and wineskins

    What does this mean? “And Jesus said to them, "Can the wedding guests mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them? The days will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast. No one puts a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment, for the patch tears away from...

    Increase my Faith?

    Hi; The Parable of the Mustard Seed: The disciples said, "increase our faith." Jesus then said, "if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'be uprooted and cast into the sea' and it would obey you." I used to ask what the disciples asked. However, from the...
