    In this story Jesus left the Jewish area of Galilee for the seaport of Tyre, a pagan Gentile area. This was a very un-Jewish and un-rabbinical thing to do, but He knew there was a desperate mother there. Notice the verbs describing her

    Developing Mega-Faith Scripture: Mark 7:24–30, especially verses 27–29. See also Matthew 15:21–28: But Jesus said to her, “Let the children be filled first, for it is not good to take the children’s bread and throw it to the little dogs.” And she answered and ...read more

    Help is at hand: the glory of the Lord is about to be revealed in the face of Jesus Christ.

    TRUTH AND MERCY MEET IN THE CROSS. “Mercy and truth are met together: righteousness and peace have kissed each other” (Psalm 85:10). In Psalm 85 we have first a prayer (Psalm 85:1-7), then what has been termed “an answer of peace” (Psalm 85:8-13). The Prayer begins, not with personal desires, ...read more

    PRETENDERS Gibeonites --Joshua 9 motivated by fear pretension cannot be equated with love. The deceit was used to make a league with Israel. The vow was unwise, but it was considered official and had to be honored. A wrong relationship now has become obligatory and thus, will have its ...read more
