Jesus, after weeping and being emotionally moved, commands those around Him to open Lazarus’ ...read more

    A look at Thomas’s doubts and the reason for them with a warning about unbelief in our own lives.

I remember thinking this about the formation of the first non-communist government in Poland. I also said it about predictions that ...read more

    Jesus often taught in parables and referred to them as such, but in this passage there is no mention of it being a parable ... this is the story of an actual event, and He makes it very clear that each of us has a choice on where we will spend eternity, because our life choices do matter.

    Lessons from the Rich Man and Lazarus (Luke, Part 8) Luke 16:19-31 Introduction / Recap - The study of Luke is an interesting one for believers to explore -- We see Luke’s interest in humanity (it’s genuine, rem: career as a physician) -- We also get to experience how Jesus interacts with ...read more
