This takes place early in Jesus’ ministry when word of hid teachings and miracles is starting to spread. Jesus’ earthly family and ...read more

    Only in his fifth statement from the cross did Jesus refer to his physical suffering. In one word, he says to us: 1. God can relate to our suffering, God can redeem our suffering, and God can carry us through our suffering, if we will let him.

    We are embarrassed and uncomfortable about the concept of the "wrath of God." However, Revelation is good news for those victims who long for an end to evil’s reign and pray, "Come quickly, Lord."

    I love this passage of Revelation -- I can’t read it without laughing outloud at one of the best memories of my ministry. Let us now hear the word of God from Revelation 16, beginning with verse 1. (Read Revelation 16:1-21) I suppose I should explain why I find this so uplifting. It all started ...read more
