Laying Down Your Life
When times are difficult we especially need examples of great leadership; we need examples of great love. Jesus tells us that “ greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends”.(John 15:13) These acts of great love can help us to rise up ourselves and love greatly. … Continue reading Laying Down Your Life
God Is Patient
Judy sometimes recalls her family’s vacation trip to Florida in the ole station wagon. Her dad has his left hand on the steering wheel and his right hand flailing away at her unruly brother in the back seat…” don’t make me stop this car”. I wish I could say this sounds foreign to me; yet … Continue reading God Is Patient
Quickly Return To Jesus
We’ve all heard the expressions…”earn your way”… pull yourself up by your bootstraps….. put something in the pot”…. bla,bla,bla. Unfortunately we can attribute this mindset to God himself. If we want to be part of his family and be in his favor, we need to “put something in the pot”; if we’ve screwed up, we … Continue reading Quickly Return To Jesus

Prepare For More
Most of the words of Jesus are pretty understandable. They may be difficult to do, but we can usually understand what’s being said. Yet, there are some passages that are puzzling. Listen to this passage from Luke 8.. “Take heed then how you hear; for to him who has, will more be given, and from him … Continue reading Prepare For More
Baptism
A few days ago was the anniversary of my baptism. My family celebrated with me… a special dinner, cards and gifts, and honorings … encouraging me for qualities of the Lord they saw in me. It was great; I felt very encouraged as my children and their spouses and children joined in. Baptism is a … Continue reading Baptism
Don’t Be A Smarty Pants
We’ve been living in the world of vaccines over the past 3 years as the battle with Covid has raged. What are vaccines? “Vaccines contain weakened or inactive parts of a particular organism (antigen) that triggers an immune response within the body”. In other words, I’m now able to resist the particular disease I’ve been vaccinated against…. vaccines … Continue reading Don’t Be A Smarty Pants
