No, Not The Telephone Game
All The Days Of My Life
It's tempting to think that David's phrase in Psalm 23, "the valley of the shadow of death," describes only a short portion at the end. But it's comforting to him affirm that the goodness and love of…
Like Father, Like Son
It's Great To Be A Sheep
Saved, Sopping Wet, And Smiling
It sounds almost comical. Who gets dressed up to jump into the water? Luke tells us that's what Peter did. I can’t help but imagine the sopping wet and smiling disciple standing before Jesus that day…
Teaching The World To Sing
Unlikely Disciples
Saul seemed unlikely to be the kind of guy one might expect would become a Christian. Chances are good we know folks like this as well. It’s true that only God can see inside the heart, to know wheth…

Delete One Thing?
A social media post that’s making the rounds encourages readers to leave a response to a single caption asking what one thing should be deleted from this world. It's an intriguing thought. What one t…

He Died And Was Buried
Were You There?
As we hear described for us the picture of our Savior's crucifixion on Good Friday, it’s easy to see ourselves simply as patrons in a museum passing by painting with an image of something that’s far …
A Meal Of First Importance
To assure you that He had you in mind personally, when He suffered and died on the cross to take away your sins, Jesus has given us a remarkable feast, the Lord’s Supper. And with the very same word…

The word "Hosanna," which the crowd shouted as Jesus entered Jerusalem, means "Save now!" So, at first, the Palm Sunday joyful cry may sound like it has something in common with the anthem, “God sav…
Mud And Cloaks
Much More Than A Mule. It's A Message!
There's a vehicle on the road that's so big and powerful that the question has been asked, "Is it a car or is it a statement?" For His entrance into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, Jesus chose a donkey, a…
