I have a friend who had an accident and now lives in constant pain. I ring him up occasionally and seek to encourage him. He loves God but is totally incapacitated. What do you say? How can you provide them with a window of hope?
Job expresses his frustration to his friend for his insensitivity to

A friend I grew up with, has always been a person who is very – upfront. She has never let an obstacle get in the way of where she was going. Growing up, I was always getting embarrassed by how brash she was. For example, there was a large movie theater in the area that was super popular. It was

Let me introduce you to an old friend you’ve know for a long time.
A friend is someone that makes you a better person.
Sometimes a friend loves you so much he will even hurt you to help you.
Proverbs says the wounds of a friend can be trusted, but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful. Like

When Jesus first sent Peter and the others out to heal the sick, He gave them the necessary power to do it (see Matt. 10:1). The Greek word for this power is exousia, which carries with it the meaning that the power is not inherent but delegated by a higher authority. It is similar to the power an

Let me suggest a method for doing this. Jesus tells us in Mt. 18:15 that if someone does you wrong it is our responsibility to go and try to make it right. Now, in that passage Jesus is talking specifically about someone who sins against you but I think this can also be applied effectively to

"You and I cannot stuff Jesus or our experience with Him into our old ways of thinking and living. Life with Jesus is a new and exciting thing. He Himself wants to fill us, to expand our personalities, and to reshape us to fit who He is. When Jesus, the Man with all power,

Of course the baby Jesus cried when a cow mooed in his ear!
Absolutely he let his mother know that he needed to nurse at her breast.
No doubt he even left a deposit in his little swaddling clothes – that’s why they were swaddling -- so his parents could un-swaddle the parts that needed

I heard a story about the day that Jesus returned to Heaven. The Angel Gabriel asked Jesus to explain what had happened down there on earth.
He asked, “Did they make you King?” Jesus answered, “No.”
“Did they make you prince?” “No.”
“Did they worship you?”
