Too Much Wine #WednesdayWalk

He stared at me with a puzzled look as he dipped a spoon into one of the jars and tasted the wine. “It’s obvious this is an expensive wine made for a king. How did it get here? Was it a gift?”

Wisdom of Solomon

The Book of Proverbs is full of wisdom for life. The challenge for the reader is to apply that wisdom. Proverbs 8:32-36 identifies, for example, what we must do to put our faith into action: 32-33: “Now therefore, O sons, listen to me, For blessed are they who keep my ways. We must listen to […]

#WednesdayWalk —Leftover Emptiness Inside

Explore what it might have been like to be present when Jesus fed the 5,000. This post is from the perspective of a man who was there, based on John 6:1-15.

We deserve to be on that cross […]

Three Lessons from Three Denials

In Luke 22:31-32 Jesus said, “Simon, Simon, behold, Satan has demanded permission to sift you like wheat; but I have prayed for you, that your faith may not fail; and you, when once you have turned again, strengthen […]
