    As Jesus endured the sufferings and horrors of the cross, He remained concerned for the well-being of others. In this compelling statement, we find Jesus made both physical and spiritual provision for His mother.

    Woman, Behold Thy Son John 19: 26-27 We have now come to the 3rd of Jesus’ sayings upon the cross. Literally these are two statements, but they are typically combined as the 3rd saying because they are within the same context. They both share the same idea and reveal a common desire of our ...read more

     | 113 views

    Jesus taught His disciples that faith does not need to be complicated. He also warned that any one who harmed children or someone new to the faith would suffer a horrendous fate.

    Verses 1-5: The disciples asked Jesus a question. Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven? They were probably thinking that one of them was better than the others and were as the term says, “jockeying for position” to see who the Lord would choose as His “favorite”.

    The difficult times, the pain, the suffering, the prayers that seemed to go unanswered, none of that meant that God had left them out in the cold and none of those things mean that God has left you out in the cold.

    There we were, literally halfway around the world, standing on the edge of a very steep hill, really, almost a cliff, and we were overlooking an expanse of well manicured fields. It was a great spot. We could see every corner of the wide canyon in front of us. We stood on one of the many rocky ...read more

    My dorm mate used to say, "Are you living, or are you dying?" His saying brings up a point. What is living? As Paul sits in a dark, dank, depressing prison cell, he gives us and the Philippians an answer.

    Are you living, or are you dying? One of my dormmates, Josh, would tell me that all the time. He would say that to encourage me to get out of my room, to stop studying, and to go have some fun, which, in his definition, would be living. Then what is dying? Well, that is what I was doing, and ...read more
