We have listened in on his prayer for them to be filled with the knowledge of God's will, to walk worthy, and to be strengthened by God's power. And all of this, he says, is because ...read more

    I remember the first suit I ever bought for myself. It was 1988, and I was working at Men’s Wearhouse—so I had access to the good stuff, not Hart, Shafner, and Marx, but high quality suits. I picked out a charcoal gray, double-breasted suit with chalk line pinstripes. Sharp. Classic. It was a $300 ...read more

     | 906 views

    In our text we see the Lord Jesus loving men who did not deserve it. Luke (22:24) tells us that at the Lord’s Supper, just after Jesus announced that one of them would betray Him, the disciples got into a dispute about which of them was the greatest.
