    The humanity of Jesus relates to your experience. The authority of Jesus provides meaning to your experience. The presence of Jesus walks with you through your experience.

Meyer (preacher and teacher) on the train and ventured to share her burden with him. For years she had cared for a crippled daughter who brought great joy to her life. She made ...read more

    Why do Christians still wear ’grave clothes’ when they ahve been raised from the dead?

    LAZARUS – JOHN 11 Even the most biblically illiterate person has heard the story of the raising of Lazarus. It is a very familiar story to many of us. Yet the truth is it is a story that we rarely read, fail to understand and more importantly I believe wonder how it actually applies to our daily ...read more

    Three great awakenings: 1. Awakening from spiritual death. 2. Awakening from spiritual dullness. 3. Awakening from spiritual deafness.

    For a long time I knew that the Christian life was a matter of having a relationship with God, but I also often thought of it as a list of rules to be kept. I wasn’t sure how to maintain a relationship with God, but it was clear to me what it meant to keep the rules. If I did well, I was in ...read more

    First person narrative on the unwrapping of Lazarus.

    I was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time. My wife was good friends with both Martha and Mary and so when their brother Lazarus died she wanted to go out to the mourning site.

The text would suggest three reasons they could have used to try to talk Jesus out of making this trip. These same three reasons are excuses people use for not ...read more

    Some see grief as something to get over with as quick as possible, but God wants to deepen us through it.

    Grief is typically treated as something to be "gotten over with" as soon as possible, or certain things are not seen as worthy of grief. If others were not impacted the same way as you then you have the problem. There doesn’t seem to be any room for people responding differently when it comes to ...read more
