A Jewish man was traveling from Jerusalem down to Jericho, and he was attacked by bandits. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him up, and left him for dead beside the road. By chance a priest came along and saw the man lying there, he crossed over to the other side of the road and pa...

Matthew 4:22 They immediately followed him, leaving the boat and their father behind. Ever wonder what Zebedee was thinking? Heres this poor guy, probably in his 40s, which at that time was pretty old, doing his best to run a business and raise his kids. James and John were his retirement plan. Then,...

Mark 11:11So Jesus came to Jerusalem and went into the Temple. After looking around carefully at everything, he left because it was late in the afternoon. Then he returned to Bethany with his disciples. The Triumphal Entry. Palm Sunday. At least once a year Ive heard a sermon on this momentous even...

The early Aryans who would be the conquerors of India were a very religious people. Their religion was a progressive one. Literally. Every morning they would create an altar to the east of their tents before dawn. As the sun broke the horizon their sacrifices, with the attendant rituals, would be mad...

Israel had been whipped. Assyria came in and literally tore apart the nation. Anyone and everyone of wealth and influence, along with a good percentage of the rest of the surviving population was carried away into exile.

God just makes sense. No, Im not saying I can truly understand who He is, or why He does the things He does. My mind isnt even close to really grasping how great He is and I would never presume to know His mind. Im saying that the idea of God makes sense. Maybe its just the way my brain is wired. I simply cant com...

Not enough. If I were going to explain why God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah in two words, that would be it. Not enough. Two entire cities destroyed. Fire and brimstone ravished an area doing such damage that to this day the area is still barren. All because of those two words not enough. But I get ahead of...

Halloween night seventeen years ago brought the apex of a storm in the North Atlantic a storm that has become immortalized. But it is unjust to call it simply a storm. It was really a Noreaster that swallowed up a forming hurricane. So, not just *a* storm, it was *the* storm the perfect storm. The drama t...

Lying on my back on a picnic table in the middle of Rec park is a great way for me to spend an early afternoon on my day off. The thick straight trunks of autumn trees shoot up all around me. Above, or should I say straight ahead, the sky may be a bleak grey, but there is an abundance or red and maroon leafy silho...

An amazing thing happens to almost every Bible College student somewhere early in their senior year. The understood meaning of the often used phrase, Gods will seems to shift.

I cant do it. I got a couple sentences into this one and I just had to stop. Delete. And start over. But I just cant. To be honest, I knew this one was going to give me trouble back when I was first looking at doing this Sunday afternoon. All day long I have been thinking over what I would say and how I would bring...

I remember sitting in his office pouring my heart out. Id recently come out of a brief, abortive attempt at a relationship. The manner in which she broke it off, along with basically ending some of her closest friendships made me worried for her and if me letting her go had been the right thing. More than...

I say I watch football games on Sunday afternoons, but that is not entirely accurate. In reality Ive got a book in front of me that I will be reading as I listen to the game. When the crowd and the announcers get excited I will look up and watch that play as they show it on replay. If everything gets quiet I wil...

You know, I used to be weird. Anytime I was going somewhere Ive never been before I would do my best to get good directions before heading out. Worse than that, if at any point I wasnt absolutely certain I was on the right track, I would stop at the next gas station I saw and ask directions. Thats right. I wou...
