    Do You Want Earthly Or Heavenly Treasures?

    Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Sep 21, 2021
     | 2,155 views

    Did Jesus say that we receive Earthly treasures by following Him? The answer is no. We do receive treasures in Heaven. You will want to look at my Hebraic Analysis of Mark 10:28-31 to see why the Greek and English translation of verse 30 may not be exactly what Jesus said.

    Do you want Earthly or Heavenly Treasures? Mark 10:28-31 Rev. Dr. Michael H. Koplitz 28 Peter began to say to Him, "Behold, we have left everything and followed You." 29 Jesus said, "Truly I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father ...read more

    Jesus leaves Capernaum and travels north forty or fifty miles to the borders of Tyre and Sidon which is modern Lebanon. It is here that we see a woman coming to Jesus to ask help for her daughter. She asked Jesus to cast a demon out of her daughter.

    THOUGHTS ABOUT THE PASSAGE: Mamie Adams always went to a branch post office in her town because the postal employees there were friendly.

    What Are You Doing Here?

    God twice asks Elijah, "What are you doing here?" This is a good question for us to be asking ourselves - why have we come into the presence of God... even if, like Elijah, we are suffering from burn-out and trying to escape the craziness of life.

    What Are You Doing Here? 1 Kings 19:1-15 One of my new favorite devotional books is titled: An Eclectic Almanac for the Faithful. And I have to admit, I only picked it up at first because of its intriguing title. However, it has become a storehouse of prayer fodder and ideas for contemplation. ...read more

    Jesus loved to ask questions (the Gospels list at least 135 of his questions). The most powerful question Jesus asked in this text was "Who are you looking for?" Who they were looking for tells us a lot about the people in this story.

    About 10 years ago, there was a sight-seeing tour in Iceland that lost one of its sightseers. She was no where to be found. Panicked, they called in the police and the search began. Hours later (about 3 in the morning) they discovered that the woman they were searching for had been there all the ...read more

    Jesus Went On Trial And Noone Stood Up To Defend Him. Will You Stand Up And Be Counted?

    Contributed by Robert Irvine on Jul 30, 2024
     | 424 views

    The prophet Isaiah asked the question of the suffering servant “who of his generation protested”? And so we ask the same question “who protested at the time of Jesus' illegal trial and execution?” Of course, the answer to that was no one. No one stood up at the trial to support Jesus.

    Jesus gives us some hard saying in this text that need to be understood around Jesus’ disciples asking for their faith to be increased.

    I would like to ask a simple question; what does God want us to accomplish concerning the Gospel message?

    “The Uttermost Part” Acts 2:5-12 As we sift through the Nations mentioned in Acts 2, I would like to ask a simple question; what does God want us to accomplish concerning the Gospel message? Since we have been saved what have we accomplished as a Child Of God? Some may say: I have straightened ...read more

    When you have had enough of living in the pigpen, you can return home knowing that the Father waits to receive you.

    God meets us in every pain with real comfort, inviting us to receive his presence and share that comfort with others in their suffering.

    There are weeks when our hearts feel thin. We sit at kitchen tables and stare at cold coffee. We stand in hospital halls and count ceiling tiles. We scroll through old texts, listening for a voice that no longer answers. Grief sits quietly in the corner like an unwelcome guest. Worry hums like an ...read more
