“Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” Luke 6:38 The thrill of opening the fat envelope from my fiancé quickly turned into salty hot tears as I read the first paragraph: “Dear Sherrie and Terri, They say white lies are terrible, but I need to tell you both about my black lie. Terri, I am engaged to marry Sherrie. Sherrie, I have been having an...
“But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return, and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, for he is kind to the ungrateful and the evil.” Luke 6:35 (ESV) Enemies is such a strong word. We are not at war. We do not take up weapons ready to defeat those who threaten our very existence. It may be easy to read Jesus’ words about enemies and gloss over them. We do, however, have people who cause something to boil within us. People...
“If I ever shut off the supply of rain from the skies or order the locusts to eat the crops or send a plague on my people, and my people, my God-defined people, respond by humbling themselves, praying, seeking my presence, and turning their backs on their wicked lives, I’ll be there ready for you: I’ll listen from heaven, forgive their sins, and restore their land to health." 2 Chronicles 7:13-14 (MSG) I have heard this story told again and again by my former students. The worst day...

But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord, wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.” Luke 2:10-11 NIV More than 2,000 years later, celebrations still abound to honor this ONE historical birth. We decorate, party, give gifts, fellowship, and break bread together. This year, colorful lights are strung around my ceilings and on a tree...
Jesus Heals An Official’s Son John 4:46-54 (NIV) Do you believe in coincidences? Have you ever found yourself saying, “What are the odds of THAT happening?!?!” Might I suggest that instead of just you “happening” to be in the right place at the right time, God had a hand in it? Is it possible that when that thing you really needed landed right in your lap at the last hour, it wasn’t just a coincidence but it was, in fact, God demonstrating His love and provision for you? John 4:46-54 tells...
Jesus Forgives and Heals a Paralyzed Man Matthew 9:1-8 Jesus was so intentional in the way He performed miracles. He was careful and thoughtful about how each miracle would impact the kingdom of heaven. With each act of healing, provision, restoration, or forgiveness, He had a purpose, and it was never to show off. In the case of the paralyzed man in Matthew 9:1-8, Jesus’ miracle was twofold. Verse two begins, “Some men brought this paralyzed man to Jesus, lying on a mat.” It seems obvious...
The Great Haul of Fish Luke 5:1-11 (NIV) I’ve tried. I worked hard all day and nothing! I’ve been praying for so long and nothing! Do these exclamations sound familiar? We hear the despair in Simon’s voice when he responded to Jesus’ directive to him to “Put out into deep water and let down the nets for a catch.” Simon answered, “Master, we’ve worked hard all night and haven’t caught anything.” (Luke 5:4,5) I often hear myself saying, “Lord, I keep praying and nothing.” My net keeps coming up...
