Remaining Anonymous
After they had come out of the water, the Lord’s Spirit took Philip away. The official never saw him again, but he was very happy as he went on his way. (Acts 8:39 CEV) I wonder if the Ethiopian eunuch ever learned Philip’s name. Philip had played a big part in helping him understand theContinueContinue reading “Remaining Anonymous”
Choosing What’s Better
The Lord answered, “Martha, Martha! You are worried and upset about so many things, but only one thing is necessary.

When Jesus is More Than Enough
When Jesus got to the tree, he looked up and said, “Zacchaeus, hurry down. Today is my day to be a guest in your home.” Zacchaeus scrambled out of the tree, hardly believing his good luck, delighted to take Jesus home with him.

Accept His Touch
Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” he said. “Be clean!” Immediately he was cleansed of his leprosy. (Matthew 8:3 NIV) I came across this “touch-me-not” plant at work a few years ago. I accidentally touched it and due to its highly sensitive nature its compound leaves folded inward and drooped, which is theirContinueContinue reading “Accept His Touch”
The Best Compass
Everything in the Scriptures is God’s Word. All of it is useful for teaching and helping people and for correcting them and showing them how to live.

A Lesson In Silence
“And now you will be silent and not able to speak until the day this happens, because you did not believe my words, which will come true at their appointed time.” (Luke 1:20 NIV) God had enough of Zechariah. This man of God had spoken words of doubt and distrust. When told that he wouldContinueContinue reading “A Lesson In Silence”
Too Good to be True?
Zechariah said to the angel, “How will I know this is going to happen? My wife and I are both very old.” The angel answered, “I am Gabriel, God’s servant, and I was sent to tell you this good news. You have not believed what I have said. So you will not be able toContinueContinue reading “Too Good to be True?”
Do You Know Him With Your Heart?
“You’ve been with me all this time, Philip, and you still don’t understand? To see me is to see the Father. So how can you ask, ‘Where is the Father?’” (John 14:9 MSG) It amazes me how someone can claim to know you for a long time, but not really know you at all. SuchContinueContinue reading “Do You Know Him With Your Heart?”
