    The third word of our Savior on the cross is directed primarily to his mother. An analysis of Jesus’ third word on the cross, as set forth in John 19:25-27, teaches us about his compassion.

    Jesus would love for us to be his servants, to do his will above our own, and to direct the steps of our lives. But we must allow him to do so by surrendering our lives to him.

    Letting Jesus Live Through Us (Colossians 3:14-17) 1. It was a bad week for criminals, based on a couple of UPI stories: “A Texas fugitive who was wanted on bank fraud charges was captured in Denver after he plummeted 17 stories down a trash chute while trying to evade police.” 2. ...read more

    The Temptation Of Jesus - Part 2

    Contributed by James Snyder on Mar 11, 2013
     | 2,722 views

    Our temptations will never compromise our relationship with God, but will bring to the surface God's amazing grace for us in times of need. With every temptation comes a stream of God's amazing grace flowing in our direction.

    Everyone lives with the basic assumption that they will never be tempted. Even if they are, they won’t yield. “It won’t happen to me,” the arrogant boast. And yet, it always does. Nobody starts out intending to be an alcoholic or a drug addict. And, nobody can become an ...read more

    God wants us to experience an abundant, blessed, happy life. The Psalmist gives us direction on how we can be open to God’s blessings in our lives and be like trees planted by water.

    We so often live with tunnel vision. But if we turn aside and look at what God is doing, we will find an experience that will not end, a mission that will direct our lives, and a presence that will never leave us.

    I confess to a malady known as “tunnel vision”. Tunnel vision is being able to see only what is straight ahead, as if I were going through a tunnel, and there is nothing to see on the sides, only the light at the end of the tunnel. Tunnel vision is not so much a condition of the eyes as it is of ...read more
