Friday Faith

Thomas *said to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going, how do we know the way?” Jesus *said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me. – John 14:5-6 (NASB)

Ignoring the Obvious

I am amazed at the disbelief of the Pharisees. Jesus has raised Lazarus from the dead in front of dozens of witnesses (John 11:1-45). Later Lazarus is reclining at table with Jesus having supper (12:2). The undeniable proof of the miraculous works of Jesus, Lazarus, is sitting at table with him eating after being dead […]

Calling Out the Faithful

Beloved. Hard worker. Kinsmen. Fellow worker. Brethren. These are some of the words Paul uses to describe the people he has worked with in spreading the gospel (Romans 16).
