DON’T JUST MAKE DECISIONS

341/365 Genesis 3:9 And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou? The version of today's text that I read on my app begins with a preamble in square brackets before presenting God's call to Adam. It begins with the words [After Adam had eaten of tree]. While that was... Continue Reading →

THE CROWD IS NOT YOUR ALLY

338/365 Luke 5:19 Because of the crowd, however, they could find no way to take him in. So they carried him up on the roof, made an opening in the tiles, and let him down on his bed into the middle of the group in front of Jesus A rather brusk information to start with... Continue Reading →

TRANSITIONING

Can you understand or appreciate what it takes to transition completely? Not like moving from... Continue Reading →

LOVE HAS NO EXPECTATIONS

303/365 Luke 14:12-13 When you give a dinner or a banquet, don't invite your friends and family and relatives and rich neighbors. If you do, they will invite you in return, and you will be paid back.

STAND BY YOUR CHOICE

292/365 Jesus was rather blunt in his remarks "Do you think I came to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but division "(Luke 12:51).

IGNORANCE DOES NOT CREATE EXEMPTIONS

291/365 There are many occasions when it feels like 'I didn't know' should be a perfectly reasonable 'get-out-of-jail- free' card. We might think it would provide the appropriate exemption from punishment or consequences of action but in the eyes of the law, not knowing does not exempt you from the consequences that follow. A classic... Continue Reading →

ROOM FOR GOD

289/365 Luke 12:19-20 Then I'll say to myself, ‘You have stored up enough good things to last for years to come. Live it up! Eat, drink, and enjoy yourself.’ ” But God said to him, “You fool! Tonight you will die. Then who will get what you have stored up?” This rich man we read... Continue Reading →
