    Through this parable Jesus teaches that salvation is not found in comparative righteous. You can’t compare yourself, by looking down on others, and conclude you are justified. You can’t compare yourself, by looking up to others, and conclude you are not justified.

    Christian atheists talk about being good without God. How can we be good with God?

    Can we really be good without God? I suppose to really answer that question we should examine what good means.Most people would say they are good people.

    In the parable of the Pharisee and Tax Collector, we’ll be looking at those prayers God hears. However, is all speech skyward prayer, and are they the prayers God hears and answers. In a study of contrast, Jesus’s looks at prayer and the type of prayers God hears.

    To be sorry means "I am filled with sorrow." What can the Pharisee and the Tax Collector teach us about the value of being "filled with sorrow" before our God?

    A woman told about a conversation that she’d had with her 4-year-old son after they’d gotten out of their Bible Studies one night. She said: “My son and I were WALKING to our car, and he said to me, ‘Mom, I’m not going to sin anymore.’” I got to wondering this, so I asked him why he said that, ...read more

    God’s will for you every day is to drink of His Spirit, worship in spirit and truth, and tell others about His Son. If you pursue just these three desires of God every day, you’ll live a full life without all the hassle and hurry.

    Alan Fadling, in his book An Unhurried Life, tells a parable of a king who had two servants. One of the servants, for fear of not pleasing his master, rose early each day to hurry along to do all the things that he believed the king wanted done.
