Are We Embarrassing Jesus?

Something has been bothering me, and I know I’ve said this before, but I may step on toes here, and lose some of you this time for real. I have never written anything remotely political before, and I wouldn’t say I’m starting now, but bear with me. Have you ever heard of the Sadducees and the Pharisees? They were religious sects within Judaism during the time of Christ. They both held political power. There was a “supreme court” of ancient Israel that held members from both groups called the Sanhedrin. The Sadducees tended to be more wealthy and hold more powerful positions. The Pharisees were more representative of the common working people. Jesus was in almost constant conflict with both of them, and condemned each on more than one occasion. Which brings me to Jesus and politics today. I have seen too many believers who are choosing the world and politics, over God’s Word. I am not saying there is no place for politics, because there is, especially when used to carry out things like ...

Lord, Hear My Prayer

Have you ever been so overwhelmed with whatever you are dealing with in your life, that you have no idea how to pray?  There are times when I feel my words are not adequate or eloquent enough to be worthy of answering. I sometimes feel that if I come up with the proper length or sequence of words, then maybe God will hear me more clearly. Well, that is not the case. Though we need to keep an open line of communication, God knows we will not always be able to express what is in our hearts. So, it’s a good thing He already knows what’s in there.

For example, we don’t know what God wants us to pray for. But the Holy Spirit prays for us with groanings that cannot be expressed in words.” Don’t worry. The Creator knows your heart. You may not always know what to say, but take time to spend time in His presence.  He adores you, and wa...

Oh friends. . .  Are you feeling the heaviness of this world? I don’t really know what the right thing is to say today. I can’t believe it happened again. More death at the hands of an 18-yr-old kid.  I want to encourage you, but within that, as my sister-friend expressed to me last night, we need to take time to grieve. It’s okay to grieve. It’s important to grieve the loss of life.  However, we cannot allow ourselves to succumb to the darkness and hopelessness of that which we grieve. It’s easy to feel despair during these times. I have to remind myself that none of this is brand new. These are issues Ecclesiastes talks about in the Bible. It’s nothing our Creator can’t handle. “History merely repeats itself. It has all been done before. Nothing under the sun is truly new.” -Ecclesiastes 1:9 It feels as if evil reigns. That’s how it feels, but I want to remind you that this is not the end of the story.  Jesus says in John 16:33 “. . .In this world you will have tro...
