Matthew 26:5 – The Best Conspiracies

Matthew 26:5 “But not during the festival,” they said, “or there may be a riot among the people.” We have seen and experienced some very unusual events during the past year. We gave up our freedoms without even a blink. We bowed to fear and political manipulation because those who spoke with reason were silenced,Continue reading “Matthew 26:5 – The Best Conspiracies”

Like A Sign – Exodus 13:9

Exodus 13:9 This observance will be for you like a sign on your hand and a reminder on your forehead that this law of the LORD is to be on your lips. For the LORD brought you out of Egypt with his mighty hand. Some people create tradition out of the smallest of detail andContinue reading “Like A Sign – Exodus 13:9”

To Be Or Not To Be – Psalm 56:3-4

Psalm 56:3-4 When I am afraid, I put my trust in you. 4 In God, whose word I praise — in God I trust and am not afraid. What can mere mortals do to me? Fear is part of who we are as human beings. When danger arrives at our doorstep, we react as theContinue reading “To Be Or Not To Be – Psalm 56:3-4”

A Stranger – Matthew 25:35-36

Matthew 25:35-36 ‘For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you cameContinue reading “A Stranger – Matthew 25:35-36”

Grow Cold – Matthew 24:12-13

Matthew 24:12-13 Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, 13 but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved. I have noticed over these many years that relationships grow cold when the individuals don’t invest time and energy in continuing to stoke the fires of friendship.Continue reading “Grow Cold – Matthew 24:12-13”

Heavy Loads – Matthew 23:4

Matthew 23:4 They tie up heavy, cumbersome loads and put them on other people’s shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them. We live in a time of almost unprecedented public hypocrisy. And the hypocrisy is not limited to any one party, or any one country. The virtue signalingContinue reading “Heavy Loads – Matthew 23:4”

Come On, Man – Matthew 22:46

Matthew 22:46 No one could say a word in reply, and from that day on no one dared to ask him any more questions. Being constantly asked questions can be a very uncomfortable situation. Most people don’t like being questioned, especially if those questions are personal or about our beliefs. I can’t imagine being aContinue reading “Come On, Man – Matthew 22:46”

Study In Reactions – Matthew 21:15

Matthew 21:15 But when the chief priests and the teachers of the law saw the wonderful things he did and the children shouting in the temple courts, “Hosanna to the Son of David,” they were indignant. I often see people whose reactions don’t seem to match the circumstances. This can either be an overreaction likeContinue reading “Study In Reactions – Matthew 21:15”

Betrayed By A Friend – Psalm 55:12-14

Psalm 55:12-14 If an enemy were insulting me I could endure it; if a foe were rising against me, I could hide. 13 But ti is you, a man like myself, my companion, my close friend, 14 with whom I once enjoyed sweet fellowship at the house of God, as we walked about among theContinue reading “Betrayed By A Friend – Psalm 55:12-14”

Reluctant Leader – Exodus 4:13

Genesis 4:13 But Moses said, “Pardon your servant, Lord. Please send someone else.” “Please send someone else.” I can imagine many people saying these words in this present moment in life. Healthcare workers, shear exhaustion. Republican politicians. COVID 19 outcome predictors. There are times when all of us want someone else to go in ourContinue reading “Reluctant Leader – Exodus 4:13”
