It seems that when we need the most to slow down to appreciate the season, we are too busy to do so. In fact, I sometimes ...read more

    It would appear that Jesus never asked this question of anyone else in the Gospels. Didn’t He know what these blind men needed?

    OPEN: A man walks into a dentist’s office and says, "Excuse me, can you help me. I think I’m a moth." The dentist replied "You don’t need a dentist. You need a psychiatrist. His office is just down the hall" "Yes, I know." Says the man. "So, why did you come in here?" asked the ...read more

    The parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector. Justification with God what does it comprise of? But wait it appears that Humility is foundational to right relationships with God.

     | 8,893 views

    To the world, Christ and His people appear weak. So the world mocks Him. However, in His weakness, He exhibits His strength.

    “The men who were holding Jesus in custody were mocking him as they beat him. They also blindfolded him and kept asking him, ‘Prophesy! Who is it that struck you?’ And they said many other things against him, blaspheming him.” Perhaps you imagine that the soldiers who beat Jesus and mocked Him ...read more
