CRITICISM
Conflict, controversy, slander follow those who stand for truth, especially the earnest, committed Christian! There was a common theme to Jesus’ ministry in Galilee — conflict! It began in Nazareth, was briefly stalled, then resumed at Capernaum with the healing of a paralytic — and never ceased
“QUO VADIS?”
Where are you today in your walk with Christ? Is there a point of compromise in your life that needs to be submitted to the authority of Christ? Is Christ calling you to leave something behind — or to take something up? Do you need some kind of physical or emotional healing?
DROPPING LIKE FLIES
Oh, the power, the subtlety of what the apostle John might label today as “the big three”: “For the world offers only a craving for physical pleasure, a craving for everything we see, and pride in our achievements and possessions. These are not from the Father, but are from this world” I John 2:16.
THE DEER-WHISPERER
Whoever has regard for their animals, or any animals for that matter, is righteous — that is they are doing what is right in God’s sight. While acts of kindness will not get us into heaven (faith in Christ alone takes us there!) — such acts, at times, reveal the true character of someone who has heaven in their heart.
PLUGGED UP
I’m convinced that the greatest reason so many of us are spiritually dull and apathetic is that we are not sharing our faith; we keep it to ourselves and we end up spiritually constipated. We are self-absorbed; our focus is inward instead of upward and outward.
