It seems appropriate to reflect on Mary the mother of Jesus on Mother’s Day and on her life. She is a great example of living for God for all of us not only for mothers, but I think mothers can especially relate to some things we know about Mary. Think for a moment on how [...]

Mary Magdalene’s story shows us a lot about Jesus and His mercy and character in contrast to the harshness of the culture at that time and the brutality women face in many parts of the world today. Just last night I was watching a show about a father who killed his own daughter in what [...]

At times it may seem as if Jesus is portrayed as being a helpless victim during His betrayal, arrest, mock trial, and crucifixion. A brief conversation recorded in John 18 shows a sometimes overlooked aspect of the Passion of Jesus. 4 Jesus therefore, knowing all things that would come upon Him, went forward and said to [...]

Jesus had a conversation with a woman who was as far from a relationship with God as one can get. She had been married several times and was living with a man without being married at the time Jesus talked with her. It is interesting that Jesus even talked with her because she was a [...]

Today is Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day which causes me to ponder what the church should look like or how it should be. In the bible it says that Jesus tore down the dividing wall between Jew and Gentile. In the early days of the church that was a big issue due to the [...]
Thoughts about the tragedy in Haiti- We are the Body of Jesus here on earth

I have been thinking about what Jesus said when He said “when I was hungry you fed me…”. The principle is that when we show compassion to others Jesus considers it as us showing that compassion to Him. For some reason Jesus has chosen to do His work through us, to show His love through [...]

When the angels announced the birth of Jesus to the shepherds they said something wonderful. They told the shepherds that there was good news of great joy for ALL people. Jesus the Savior was born. The announcement was made to one of the lowest classes of people. Shepherds were not high in society yet they [...]
