It’s the pipe dream that we, and our faith, can flourish apart from Christ. Jesus used the example of branches on a grapevine. He said, “I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. Remain in me, and I will remain in you. ” And then He po
In Psalm 27, David says that the one thing he seeks in this life is to spend all his days in the presence of God. Why? "To gaze upon the beauty of the Lord.” Consider for a moment what that means. Like David, this is true for us, not simply as
When John tells us of God’s incredible love we may hang our heads in shame and fail to hear what comes next.  We recognize how stingy we are at sharing love. To overcome this discomfort we may find ourselves putting these words out of our mind
Is it arrogant to say that Jesus is the only way to eternal life?  Wouldn’t it be more loving, instead, to teach that all religious paths lead to the same God?  Wouldn’t this be a more tolerant, a more educated or more enlighten approach?  Afte
Jesus told the disciples, “My Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in Him shall have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.” I suspect that hearing these words made the disciples very happy just as
It's understandable that you and I want to know what it will be like at the resurrection when Jesus comes. We look at ourselves and wonder what we will be like. What answer are we given? If you notice, Paul answers this question by pointing u
In Acts, Peter addressed a crowd at the Temple. He told them, "You killed the author of life." As you and I hear these words, we're reminded that it wasn’t one particular person, such as Pontius Pilate or any of the other leasers of that day, o
Does it feel like the rest of the world is looking up while you're looking down? Last Monday, the "Great North American Eclipse" took place. Chances are good that many of you may have been among those dawning special glasses and looking up to
When Jesus drew His last breath on the cross He paid for our sins in full. He also conquered death. What does this mean? Three days later and just as He promised, He rose from the dead – a real physical, bodily, resurrection. He stepped out of
On the day that Jesus rose, the very next thing He did after announcing "peace" to the disciples was to show them His hands and side. These were the hands through which the nails had been driven.  This was the side into which the soldier thrust
When it comes to Easter, Paul tells us about the eyewitnesses who were on hand and the historical facts of Jesus' resurrection. However, faith is more than acknowleging the fact that we have a living Savior. As the apostle goes on to point out,
At Easter, you may have shared a familiar greeting on Sunday morning.  It’s called the “Paschal Greeting.” It goes like this:  One person exclaims, “He is risen!”  And it’s followed by the joyful response, “He is risen, indeed!” But, you know,
Chances are good that a few days ago on Good Friday you may have sung that enduring hymn, “Were You There?” It comes with that familiar refrain, “Sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble.” On Easter morning, as the women left the emp
Crushed it!  According to the folks at the Free Dictionary to “crush it” means “to succeed at something in a particularly impressive way.” And according to the Collins Dictionary, “If you crush it, you succeed completely in doing something.” Th
Luke alone records this remarkable detail from Peter’s denial of our Savior. It happened after all of the disciples abandoned Jesus. By inspiration of the Holy Spirit God ensured that this event was recorded for you and me to hear. They're a w
Did you know the words to “God Save the King”? It’s the national anthem of the United Kingdom and it’s also the royal anthem of many of the nations which form the British Commonwealth. Do you know the words? It’s a well known song around the wo
“We’re not number one!” Have you ever gone to a game and seen someone holding one of those big foam hands with big X through and shouting, “We’re NOT number one!” Ya, me neither. So, imagine what must have went through the disciples' minds as H
When someone loves another so much that it’s obvious to everyone around them, they’re often described as “wearing their heart on their sleeve.”  In medieval times, knights would wear a handkerchief, embroidered with the name of a lady, tied on
When confronted with our sins it's tempting for to want to bargain and made a deal with God. It always fails. But what God announced to Jeremiah, and fulfilled in His Son, is so much better. God has revealed a remarkable prize. No games, just g
Police wasted no time. The aviation team was called in. Using thermal imaging cameras they scoured the thick vegetation of the forested area below. Deputies on the ground rushed in. The pilot indicated to the officers below that they were now
You and I are hard-wired to cover our eyes and turn away whenever we see something that terrifies us. So, why would God command Moses to erect a bronze snake on a pole as their means of rescue from the venomous snakes that were killing them? W
It’s the classic scene from movies that has Moms and Dads nodding their head. Everyone’s excited to get in the car and hit the road on vacation. But now the trip is beginning to seem too long. Then the kids begin to murmur and moan in back seat
In recent years there's been a crackdown on fake degrees and fraudulent credentials. And the religious leaders may have felt that they were doing the same thing after Jesus cleared the temple of money changes and dove dealers. They demanded th
It seems foolish to today’s world to think that God's Word declared each week, the message of our Savior's crucifixion, can waken faith, bring sinners to repentance, and bring comfort and assurance in place of despair.  But that’s exactly what
