Looking For The Escape Clause?...the Good Samaritan

Contributed by John Gaston on Mar 12, 2022

The story of the Good Samaritan was Jesus' way of blasting our excuses for trying to get out of obeying God to demonstrate compassion for the needy. An escape clause is a device in a contract to elude responsibility!

JOKE 1: A lawyer died and went to Heaven. “There must be some mistake,” the lawyer argued. “I’m too young to die. I’m only 55.” “Fifty-five?” said Saint Peter. “No, according to our ...read more

James Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Apr 9, 2022

Even after more than two years of miracles, James is a skeptic. It would, after all, be rather hard to swallow the idea that the brother you had grown up with was the Son of God.

James is consistently named first when Jesus' brothers are listed, which in his day likely meant that he was the eldest of ...read more
