22 Then Jesus said to his disciples: “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear.

18Apr2009 Luke 11:53-54
53 When Jesus left there, the Pharisees and the teachers of the law began to oppose him fiercely and to besiege him with questions, 54 waiting to catch him in something he might say. Plotting, laying in wait, hunting, hostile press conference, media ‘investigation’ or smear campaign. We so often think that the political rhetoricContinue reading “18Apr2009 Luke 11:53-54”
17Apr2009 Genesis 15:15
15 You, however, will go to your fathers in peace and be buried at a good old age. In our age of always young, these words might seem like a curse rather than a blessing.

24 “When an evil spirit comes out of a man, it goes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it. Then it says, ‘I will return to the house I left.’ Jesus reveals something very important about evil. Evil finds a place and calls it home!

23 “He who is not with me is against me, and he who does not gather with me, scatters. There is no neutral ground when it comes to the things of God.
