One Face
Then I saw standing in the middle of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the middle of the elders, a Lamb that appeared to have been killed. He had seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth. Then another sign … Continue reading "One Face"
Golden Rule
If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him! Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. — Matthew 7:11-12. NKJV Men, Jesus … Continue reading "Golden Rule"
Servitude
No one can serve two masters. For you will hate one and love the other; you will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and be enslaved to money. — Mt. 6:24 NLT Men, servitude is not a question. But, to what we bow down to we can choose. No … Continue reading "Servitude"
Forgiveness
Matthew 6:14-15 Men, Jesus has said in vs12, forgive our debts as we forgive others, and now He revisits the matter. It startles the heart as we read, “if we forgive men their sins, your heavenly Father will give you”…but if we don’t, He won’t. Let’s be clear. This does not teach that we can … Continue reading "Forgiveness"
Your Kingdom Come
Matthew 6:10 Men, Jesus is now sharing with us a second line in a model prayer. “Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven”. First, where is the kingdom? We assume too quickly that it is heaven. Is it? Jesus has already said in 4:17 that “the kingdom is … Continue reading "Your Kingdom Come"
Vain Repetition
And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do. For they think that they will be heard for their many words. Therefore do not be like them. For your Father knows the things you have need of before you ask Him. — Matthew 6:7-8. NKJV Jesus tells the multitude “don’t use vain repetitions when you … Continue reading "Vain Repetition"
Eyewash Station
Why do you see the speck in your brother’s eye, but fail to see the beam of wood in your own? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me remove the speck from your eye,’ while there is a beam in your own? 5 You hypocrite! First remove the beam from your own … Continue reading "Eyewash Station"
Holey Socks
The message of the cross is foolish to those who are headed for destruction! But we who are being saved know it is the very power of God. 19 As the Scriptures say, “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise and discard the intelligence of the intelligent.” So where does this leave the philosophers, the … Continue reading "Holey Socks"
Watching Father Work
Sunday afternoon after lunch, my oldest son Elijah emerged from the house with his basketball, still in his church attire—a blue polo shirt and khaki shorts. Standing by my Toyota Camry with my hands crossed, the car jacked up, two tires off, and the problem of a seized rear brake drum before me, I looked … Continue reading "Watching Father Work"
Tentmaking
My oldest son hates to do the dishes. It’s that hill he has chosen to die on, persisting in resistance nearly every time he is asked to clean the kitchen. “It’s boring!” he insists, as he reverts to a three year old pouting on the floor. I guess I feel the same way sometimes—clamoring to … Continue reading "Tentmaking"
