    Here, the Israelites became distracted from their purpose by a desire for worldly gain. They sought a more luxurious existence, with the ease of someone else doing all the work, and they ran from battle and confrontation.

He instead became distracted by an opportunity to be appointed chief of the district of St. Charles.(1) While he was ...read more

    The Principle of the Golden Rule Matthew 7:12 We come to a statement our Lord made while preaching the Sermon on the Mount that we are all familiar. No doubt each of us has heard this principle as long as we can remember. The Bible skeptic would argue there is nothing special about our Lord’s ...read more

    In perhaps the most challenging parable to understand, Jesus calls us to use our worldly wealth for divine purposes, to be faithful where we are, and to keep God first in our lives.

    Luke 16:1-13 Wisdom in Wealth What if you came to church one Sunday, and your pastor got up to give the sermon and said, “I don’t have a clue what this means!” Well, I’m pretty close to that with today’s passage.

    The Lord is not against us gathering up some savings, or fill our closet with a few dresses and suits. But our faith and trust should be be rooted in something other than worldly possessions.

    Jesus taught about good works and giving. “Be careful! When you do something good, don’t do it in front of others so that they will see you. If you do that, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven. “When you give to those who are poor, don’t announce that you are giving. Don’t be like ...read more
