While the sixth saying of Jesus on the Cross was a declaration of triumph, “It is finished!”, this last one is a declaration of trust.
“Father, into your hands I commit my spirit.”
The word commit means, “to deposit something of great value in a safe place.” Our life is filled with all types of

When we lived in the Ukraine for a month, we witnessed incredible poverty. The beautifully ornate Churches over there have domes which are actually covered in gold leaf, but under them are the beggars. Such a contrast. I noticed at one point some priests driving around in BMW’s, while beggars eked

SIR HENRY TAYLOR IS QUOTED AS SAYING, "HE WHO GIVES WHAT HE WOULD AS READILY THROW AWAY, GIVES WITHOUT GENEROSITY; FOR THE ESSENCE OF GENEROSITY IS IN SELF-SACRIFICE." I RECENTLY READ SOMEWHERE THAT THE AVERAGE BABY BOOMER GIVES TO THE CHURCH ABOUT WHAT HE WOULD SPEND ON A MOVIE TICKET. $7 IS NOT

"TO JESUS ON HIS BIRTHDAY"
The American poet Edna St. Vincent Millay once wrote a biting, ironic poem called "To Jesus on His Birthday." Surely none of us can deny guilt in some of the areas it includes in its brief scope:
For this, your mother sweated in the cold,
For this you bled upon the

This morning when you came into the citadel you found the seats up against the wall, confusing, a bit of a nuisance? This was used to illustrate what life without God’s Grace is like, it is confusing, it’s not ordered, each of us as individual’s are lost and in turmoil, we do foolish things we are

A pastor friend was telling me about two men in his church who are stricken with Alzheimer’s. One man is a retired pastor. He and his wife still attend church. Sometimes it takes this retired pastor longer than usual to say something. My friend spoke of being patient with him as they

The element H2O (water) has three unique forms.
Water can be in the form of a liquid, the form we see coming out of the kitchen faucet.
It can be in the form of a solid, like ice.
And it can be in the form of a gas, when water boils.
Whether it’s a gas, a solid, or a liquid- it’s

Actually, it’s a good thing that Jesus is not with us now in a human body and therefore limited to one geographic location. If He was, you would have as much chance of being with Him in your lifetime as you would a holiday with the Queen! You might get a five minute slot in His diary in 2030, but
