In the earlier reading “Does Jesus Commend Dishonest Stewardships?” in this volume, I challenged the idea that Jesus would use a parable to promote an “end justifies the means” lesson. One of the ideas I put forward in the post was that…

This post has been in the making for a while. The parable of Jesus in Luke 16 about the dishonest steward has long been a source of consternation to me. I have read commentaries, watched videos, listened to sermons and interviewed…

Okay, this is an odd title for a post that focuses on spiritual truths and nuggets, which I hope helps and encourages each one in their walk with God. But by the time I am done, I hope you not only get the wisdom buried in the title but…

There are a lot of people who teach that we are saved by grace and there is nothing we do for our salvation. Even though Jesus said to baptize people in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19), many say that we…

In Matthew 18, Jesus tells a familiar parable of grace and forgiveness. The parable has three characters: a king, a servant, and a fellow servant. Most of us have heard this wonderful parable so many times, we can recite it by heart.

In Mark 12, Jesus tells us the parable of the tenants. As He marches to the cross, He turns His attention to the religious leaders whom God had entrusted to lead His people. Yet the religious leaders were deaf and blind, though they had…

In Acts 9, we read about the conversion of Saul to Jesus. It’s a wonderful and powerful testimony to the power of the Holy Spirit and how He can use the Word of Jesus to totally transform a life of sin and hostility to the Messiah and King.

Easter may have passed two days ago, but the image of the crown of thorns is still lingering in my thoughts. That painful, twisted crown placed on Jesus’ head by Roman soldiers was meant as mockery. But on this side of the resurrection, we…

He had heard that this teacher spoke about the kingdom of God as if it were near, not distant. He had heard that the sick were healed, that the proud were unsettled, that fishermen left their nets to follow Him.

By the time the man learned where He would be teaching, something in him had already decided. He would go. He had heard enough by now to believe this was no ordinary teacher moving from town to town with a crowd at His heels. He had seen…

That was what made the tension so difficult. If he had been indifferent, he could have walked away. If he had been hostile, he could have joined the voices of those who opposed Him. But he was neither. He had heard Jesus teach. He had seen…
