A daily walk in faith, hope and love
Even though today's Gospel tells the details of a destruction, there was another message on strategy that stood out to me. "Luke 21:21 Then those in Judea must flee to the mountains, those inside the city must leave it, and those in the countryside must not go into it" Three groups of people were given...

Luke 21:12-13 But before all this occurs, there will be a time of great persecution.

That world in question being a total sum of all things created, including the men in it and very often, the circumstances and situations they contribute to creating. In most of the encounters we have with the... Continue Reading →
1 Peter 2:17 reads "Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king". This is an interesting capture of a contrast with the Gospel text today.
