    In the story of the Palm Sunday, Jesus was unafraid to march into the lion's den and willfully take what the world would give him. Jesus' humility and selfless act is masked on this day. We see Palm fronds and sing "Hallelujahs", but Jesus saw us.

    Love on the March Mathew 21: 1-11 & Isaiah 50:4-9 In a military setting, marching is done for a variety of reasons. It can be to get all of a platoon or squad from one place to another, Or, marching can be a way to show mastery of skill. It was in boot camp where we practiced the entire time ...read more

    To Love Is To Obey

    We must slow down at God’s “yellow lights,” stop at His “red lights,” and proceed at His “green lights” for the highest reason - love. The absence of obedience just shows our rebellion and UN-love for God.

    Opening illustration: One morning as I left Maureena for work, I began to wonder, why should I obey God’s laws? The answer played out as I approached a traffic light that had just turned yellow. A driver at the intersection waited to make sure I had fully stopped. Why did I stop? I asked ...read more

The book went on to note that: “The person ...read more
