“CROSSING A ROAD”

“NOT KNOWING” COMES AT A COST

'Arise, shine, for your light has come'(Isaiah 60:1a). Whenever light arrives, there is an accompanying boldness because sight is clearer and paths are illuminated.

A CONFUSED CROWD

Luke 9:18 Once when Jesus was praying in private and his disciples were with him, he asked them, “Who do the crowds say I am?” The first thing that comes to mind when one sees a crowd of protestor are 'they are united in purpose' because they seem to be moving and acting together.

MORE THAN FAMILIARITY

DAY 285 Luke 11:8 I tell you, even though he will not get up and give you the bread because of friendship, yet because of your shameless audacity he will surely get up and give you as much as you need. We read the story about a man whoknocked on his friend's s door at an... Continue Reading →

HEARING ALONE DOES NOT PROFIT

DAY 259 Luke 6:46 Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say?

Using an analogy, Jesus in the Gospel presents two kinds... Continue Reading →
