36 “Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?” 37 The expert in the law replied, “The one who had mercy on him.” Jesus told him, “Go and do likewise.” This answer is too easy and too difficult at the same time. InContinue reading “12Apr2009 Luke 10:36-37 Jesus is Alive!”

11Apr2009 Luke 10:27
27 He answered: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’; and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’” What we miss in the English is that the word “love” only appears once in this verse, not twice. Both loving GodContinue reading “11Apr2009 Luke 10:27”

9Apr2009 Luke 10:22
22 “All things have been committed to me by my Father. No one knows who the Son is except the Father, and no one knows who the Father is except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.” If I want to talk to the President of the United States IContinue reading “9Apr2009 Luke 10:22”
8Apr2009 Genesis 13:6
6 But the land could not support them while they stayed together, for their possessions were so great that they were not able to stay together. The real issue was that temporary storage units had not been invented yet! If they could have emptied their garages into storage units, they would have been fine. IContinue reading “8Apr2009 Genesis 13:6”
7Apr2009 Luke 10:3-4
3 Go! I am sending you out like lambs among wolves. 4 Do not take a purse or bag or sandals; and do not greet anyone on the road. There is such a place as enemy territory. Not every place on earth is a friendly place for the Gospel. Not every group you have contactContinue reading “7Apr2009 Luke 10:3-4”
6Apr2009 Genesis 12:18-19
18 So Pharaoh summoned Abram. “What have you done to me?” he said. “Why didn’t you tell me she was your wife? 19 Why did you say, ‘She is my sister,’ so that I took her to be my wife? Now then, here is your wife. Take her and go!” Sin will rise to theContinue reading “6Apr2009 Genesis 12:18-19”
5Apr2009 Luke 9:62
62 Jesus replied, “No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God.” Becoming a Jesus-follower requires a break with the past, a new start. That does not mean, as some cults practice that, contact with family, friends and former life is cut offContinue reading “5Apr2009 Luke 9:62”
4Apr2009 Luke 9:52-53
52 And he sent messengers on ahead, who went into a Samaritan village to get things ready for him; 53 but the people there did not welcome him, because he was heading for Jerusalem. Sometimes our preconceived ideas get in the way of God’s blessing. The Samaritans had their own ideas about how God wasContinue reading “4Apr2009 Luke 9:52-53”
3Apr2009 Luke 9:50
50 “Do not stop him,” Jesus said, “for whoever is not against you is for you.” It is so easy to create division and separation between people. Jesus gives his disciples an easy test. There were some people who were following Jesus and performing miracles, but they were not part of the official “in” crowd.Continue reading “3Apr2009 Luke 9:50”
