“You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled by men.” (Matthew 5:13) Salt today has become such a commonplace part of our lives, available in every home or restaurant, ...read more

Think about your friends, family, and school. These are the people close to you. Share Jesus' love with them. Then think about the next town over, or the people you meet when you're out and about. That's a bit further. And then, think about people in other countries. That's as far as you can reach. ...read more

Good morning, family. Today we're diving into the heart of Jesus' Sermon on the Mount from Matthew 5:13-22. Before we delve into the Word, let's consider a profound quote from Karl Barth.

Years ago, a friend of mine told us about the Sitar, a very popular Indian musical instrument. Although it can have up to 21 strings, the sitar player only plays one set of strings. The “playable” set has five to seven played strings. The other set contains about 13 to 15 sympathetic strings of ...read more

I thought I had all the answers I needed in my technical books, and the Bible was not one of them. But like many people who scoff at the Bible, have ...read more

Don't take God’s grace for granted; remember that with the privilege of being God’s people comes the responsibility to remain faithful; to allow God to be God in every part of our lives. God judges the people of Israel with a view to their restoration
The great temptation for Christians as well as for the Jews is the temptation to take God’s grace for granted; even worse, to feel a sense of superiority, of smugness, because we’re part of God’s chosen people. The way to overcome that temptation is to remember that with the ...read more
