    The council chamber in Jerusalem was tense. Leaders of the Sanhedrin gathered in a semicircle, their robes still and their eyes sharp. In the center stood a handful of Galilean fishermen who had been arrested for one reason: they would not stop speaking the name of Jesus. The high priest leaned ...read more

    There are many thankless tasks we have to perform, of which, to some, church participation may be one. But God teaches us that if we do something out of love, it is not burdensome, and the Cross and Empty Tomb teach us that it is not futile.

    There sure are a lot of thankless tasks to be done. There certainly are a great many things that are immensely frustrating, because they just won’t stay done. Do you know what I mean? The kinds of jobs that you do and almost immediately you have to do them again? These are thankless ...read more

    Built Up, Bound Up, Lifted Up

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Feb 16, 2010
    based on 5 ratings
     | 12,251 views

    We are so into upward mobility; but God's version is different. It involves building us up so that the powerless have power; binding up the wounded so that they can understand brokenness; and lifting us up so that we can use our power for others.

    I can remember when the word "furlough" was a happy word. It was a happy word because it meant that somebody in your family was coming home from military duty for a while. "Furlough" for me brings up a memory of standing, as a small boy, in Union Station in Louisville, waiting for the train to ...read more
