    There’s power in making the decision to give the gift He really wants: to "follow Him." But in this story in Luke, 3 men tell Jesus that that is precisely what they want to do. So why isn’t Jesus content with their gift?

    OPEN: About three years ago, Dave Barry made this observation about Christmas: "Your standard man, at this point in the Christmas season, has purchased zero gifts. He has not yet gotten around to purchasing an acceptable gift for his wife for last Christmas. He did give her something last ...read more

    Jesus called disciples to follow him. What did he really mean by "follow me"? Luke 9 gives us some insight.

We need to ask ourselves, am I just tagging along or truly following Jesus? When Jesus says to us, ...read more
