What You Should Be Doing and Why (Part 3)
I want to issue a public apology to my son, Bryant, who I love with all my heart. As I was editing this Bible study on Feb. 8th, 2024, I recognized my hypocrisy when I was correcting you. I have prayed to God the Father to forgive me and to put it in your heart to forgive me as well. Being a faithful Christian is a life-long process that includes making many mistakes. You were absolutely right…

The Gospel of Luke: An Introduction, Part 2
By Donald Whitchard
Luke 1:1-4,11:1-4, 15:1-32
Summary: The Gospel of Luke is noted for its emphasis on the power of prayer, the use of parables as a means of teaching, the attention paid to members of society who had been forgotten, and attention to historical and cultural details concerning the life and ministry of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Each of the four Gospels were written for specific…

Parable of the Ten Bridesmaids (Matthew 25:1-13)
We prepare for things we really care about; we anticipate things that are important to us.
The Parable of the Ten Virgins, by Lilibeth Kindle
“When the end comes, the kingdom of heaven will be like ten bridesmaids. They took their oil lamps and went to meet the groom. Five of them were foolish, and five were wise. The foolish bridesmaids took their lamps, but they didn’t take any extra oil. The wise bridesmaids, however, took along extra oil for their lamps. Since the groom was late,…

My Favorite Dystopian/Apocalyptic Books
I’m a fan of dystopian fiction, but I’m a bit finicky about it. I tend to stay away from Young Adult dystopian (no Hunger Games or Divergent series, thank you). I usually like more literary-minded picks, but there are exceptions. I’ve been reading Octavia Butler, so I started thinking about my favorite dystopian novels. Here they are, in no particular order:
The Stand, by Stephen King…

Forgiving Others
Today I may have a few physical complaints, but I feel very blessed that I don’t have any urge for vengeance. I am holding no grudges. I am free in this regard.
This kind of life is not only preferable, it is mandated by God who forgives us every day that we are connected to Christ. It is hard to appreciate the seriousness with which God assigns to sin. He does not compromise on sin. He either…

The Law and The Promise
The lineage of Abraham and his descendants bears a dual significance. While it undeniably holds a place in secular history, laying the groundwork for the eventual emergence of the Israeli and Arab peoples, the crux lies in the allegorical interpretation, often expounded by Neville Goddard—the PROMISE that transcends mere historical accounts.
Neville Goddard, known for his interpretations of the…

The Parable of Canceled Debts
Christians, we aren’t going to hell.
Our eternity is not in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur.
Instead, our eternity is in the glory of heaven, in the presence of God…and we owe it all to the agony of the Son of God on the cross.
Christians, do we appreciate what Jesus has done for us?
Take a moment to think about how you serve your Savior. Consider how much you personally are truly…

The Ultimate Father
On this Father’s Day, I spent some time reflecting on how perfect our loving heavenly Father is. Of course, I wish I understood His ways better sometimes (a lot of the time), but my lack of understanding does not diminish His perfection.
One of the things I thought about today was what is famously known as the Parable of the Prodigal Son. Jesus tells this story in Luke 15 to paint a picture for…

"ORDINARY MEN, EXTRAORDINARY MANDATE"
2 Corinthians 4:7, “But this beautiful treasure is contained in us—cracked pots made of earth and clay—so that the transcendent character of this power will be clearly seen as coming from God and not from us.”
Anyone who knows me knows, 2 Corinthians 4:7 is one of my absolute favorite Scriptures in all the Bible! And because of it, the story of “The Cracked Pot” is one of my absolute favorite…

The Parables of Jesus Christ: Rock or Sand Foundation
Have you ever realized that the Sermon on the Mount is three chapters long filled with power packed instructions directly from the Lord Jesus Christ? This powerful message begins in the fifth chapter of Matthew and ends just before the eighth chapter begins. Jesus closes this authoritative teaching with a parable that is often quoted but is seldomly practiced.
This parable begins in Matt. 7:24…

The Master's Departure
Jesus told two parables in order to teach what the kingdom will be like when He leaves His disciples. It will be like ten virgins eagerly awaiting their bridegroom. It will be like servants with whom a master leaves his fortune until he returns to collect his return. When the master returns, He will judge between the virgins who are prepared and those who are not, the slaves who are faithful and…

The Parable of the Two Sons (Matthew 21:28-32)
Turns out, there are spiritual insiders on the outside of God's kingdom, and spiritual outsiders as the ones who really inherit the kingdom of God.
Wheatfield with Crows, by Vincent van Gogh, 1890
“What do you think about this? A man had two sons. He went to the first and said, ‘Son, go to work in the vineyard today.’
“His son replied, ‘I don’t want to!’ But later he changed his mind and went.
“The father went to the other son and told him the same thing. He replied, ‘I will, sir,’ but he didn’t go.
“Which of the two sons did what the…

Lost & Found
A friend posted: “Praise report… my engagement ring had lost the diamond about 2 weeks ago. Bruce and I tore apart the house and cars looking for it. No diamond. We pretty much chalked it up to being lost. We have had a lot of challenges financially and we felt Satan has just been testing our patience and pocketbooks lately. God says to stay strong in Him. He promises always to be with us. This…

Crossing the Great Divide: A Homily on Dives and Lazarus
Sunday's homily—This parable always ends the same way, no matter how many times we read it. Dives will stay stuck in the prison of his own making for as long as the story is told. If we want a new ending, we must write it with our own lives.
Skylight (1732) for the high altar of the cathedral in Toledo, Spain .
Jesus was a great storyteller. He knew how to use a good story not just to make a point, but to change lives. But today’s story isn’t quite like any other parable. It’s the only one where a character is given a name. The poor man is called Lazarus, a variant of Eleazar, which means “God helps.” The rich man is unidentified in…
