    You ever notice how God doesn't always send what we expect? When Israel was looking for deliverance, God didn't send a politician in a suit. He didn't send a smooth-talking preacher with a megachurch

    Wealth holds us back from inheriting eternal life: but wealth is anything earthyl that we hold onto as valuable in opposition to things heavenly. We must melt down these idols and consecrate the gold to the temple.

    “What must I do to inherit eternal life?” (Mk. 17:17). There are two alternates to eternal life: eternal death and temporal life. Neither is appealing. Eternal life is worth struggling for. The rich young man asked the Lord what must he do. He understood that attainment of heaven was ...read more

    In this short passage, Jesus gives three simple invitations to bring rest for the stressed: come to Jesus, take his yoke, and learn from him. Here is the essence of Christian discipleship, to bind ourselves to our Lord 24/7.

On any given Sunday, it contains an Old Testament reading, a Psalm, a New Testament reading, and a passage from the ...read more
