“They Have No Wine”
I was in the dining room and my husband was in the kitchen. I had just unsuccessfully tried opening the lid on a new container of mustard. While he was in there, I said to him, “I couldn’t get the lid on the mustard opened.”
Redemption of Thorns
The celebration of Jesus’ Resurrection is at the end of this month. Knowing that Jesus came to earth because of man’s need for a Savior, I took time to look at the story of man’s fall in the Garden of Eden found in Genesis, chapter three.
What’s Your Ambition
According to the Collins Dictionary, the noun, ambition, means an earnest desire for some type of achievement or distinction, as power, honor, fame, or wealth, and the willingness to strive for its attainment.
There are many ways people show what they are ambitious about.
Mountain Climb
Not so long ago I heard a narrative about two options for reaching the top of a mountain. One option is to climb up the side of the mountain until you reach the summit.
The Light
In my musings about Jesus as the light of the world, I discovered some very interesting facts. First of all the word for “light” in the New Testament is the Greek word “phos” which caused me to think about phosphorus. So, I did some reading about phosphorus and was intrigued by its properties.
Eagerly waiting
Anticipation, joyful expectation, hopefully looking forward…do these describe how you feel about the coming return of Jesus? The Bible has numerous scriptures describing His return. There are quotes from Jesus explaining what it will look like. There are Old and New Testament prophecies that give us assurance of His return, and we know His arrival is much closer than it was 2000 years ago.
But, are we ready?
Volleyball and Community
…As we individually do whatever God has directed us to do (just as the volleyball player was actively playing the game), we often miss seeing the out of bounds line. We need brothers and sisters willing to point out where we are in danger of crossing the line.
One Church
In this scripture, Jesus’ priestly prayer as it is often called, we are given a glimpse of His heart towards us. Prior to this excerpt, Jesus prayed for His current disciples, and then He prays for us who had not yet even been born.
Washed Clean
Can anyone else relate to Paul’s dilemma? We want to do good, but fail to do it. We agree with God in our inner man, but sin seems to get the upper hand in how we act. It is a wretched condition to be in … but there is hope.
Who’s Counting
I have a degree in accounting so I’m often told that I view numbers differently than most people might. In reading God’s Word I was intrigued to find that Paul used an accounting term in some of his writings.
