The Walking Dead, part 2

You might call them "spiritual zombies." (Although I, nor anyone I know, have never seen a 'zombie' like on tv.) John wrote in the 3rd chapter of his epistle: 18 Whoever believes in him (that is, Jesus) is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name … Continue reading The Walking Dead, part 2

The Walking Dead

No, not the tv show. (What’s up with the infatuation with zombies??) The other walking dead. Actually they’re not really “dead” as the world sees dead. Paul wrote to the church in Rome: 3Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? 4We were therefore … Continue reading The Walking Dead

Mercy and Judgment

Three blind men were taken to an elephant, and asked to describe it. One, feeling the tail, said an elephant is like a rope. Another, feeling the trunk, said an elephant is like a snake. The third, feeling a leg, said an elephant is like a tree. Spiritual blindness also prevents people from seeing the … Continue reading Mercy and Judgment

Saved Together

This past week I have been discouraged. Along with personal discouragements, I'm tired of the constant barrage of "bad news" around the world from the pandemic to the protesters to the riots. Conflicting reports of what happens, who said what, predictions of both good and bad in the economy. It's been getting to me. But … Continue reading Saved Together

Homesick

In this time of “stay-at-home” policies, we are certainly not getting homesick. Actually, many are sick of staying home, and finally are starting to get out and attempt to resume some “normal” activities. They say 'home is where the heart is' and 'home is where you hang your hat' and 'home sweet home' and 'there's … Continue reading Homesick

No Greater Love

No greater love has any one than to lay down their life for a friend.

A Steadfast Spirit

King Josiah was 8 years old when he became king. (2 Kings 22 – 23). When he was 18, the Book of Law was found in the temple and read to the him, and the king wept and tore his clothes. Even though he had in his short life followed the “ways of his father … Continue reading A Steadfast Spirit

Effort

Did you know that a cat can instantly determine if its body will fit through a hole if its whiskers don't touch the sides? If you've been around cats much, you may have seen one start into a hole of some kind, in a fence or a box, or whatever, and suddenly do a “head … Continue reading Effort
