Exodus

The book of Exodus is the national history of the Hebrew people.  God’s redemption plan included His Way of salvation for all the nations of the world.  His plan has been in place before the foundations of the world. “For He chose us in Him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in…

Hippie Fashion

Crowds were drawn in great numbers to hear what this 2nd century holy hippie named John had to say.  JB was not into fashion, his hair was matted into dreadlocks; he wore a blanket of camel hair skins and ate locusts and wild honey.  He had grown up with the Essenes, in an outdoor commune.…

Wisely Question

Can I find relevance in words that were written over 3,500 years ago.  Do I belong in this chaotic world, or would I fit better in another place?  Is it possible to frame an understanding of all creation with mere words?

JUDE

Jude is another brother of Jesus. He also hung out with the apostle Peter after the Lord’s final physical departure from earth.  His letter diagnoses and confronts the unseen spiritual disease in the early church. “The Lord first saves a people out of Egypt and later destroyed those who did not believe…these dreamers likewise defile…

JAMES

James, the brother of Jesus, confronts deceitfulness directly.  Perhaps it was because for years, he had personally been so deceived about Who the Messiah is. Our human nature is quick to speak and slow to listen and understand. James literally opposed the claims that his brother Jesus made. James was not convinced that Jesus was…

HEBREWS

Many times people of faith feel as though they need to explain Jesus.  The religions of yesterday and today have all failed in their attempt to supplement the pure Word of God.  The letter to the Hebrews is good to reread when our focus has shifted to what other people have written or said about…

TITUS and PHILEMON

Paul writes to encourage Titus, the Bishop of Crete. This was the second difficult post for Titus. His previous mission was to tactfully persuade the church in Corinth to return to the teachings of Jesus. This letter offers practical solutions for dealing with a stubborn people. The congregations in Crete were mostly home based prayer…
