Reflection of who I am.
I think we all struggle with who we are and who God has made us to be. This post is an extra post. I do not do a lot of these, but I created a devotion for September 7, 2026, and the focus was on conducting ourselves honorably. I wrote about how the devotion wouldContinue reading “Reflection of who I am.”

When Jesus had come down from the mountain, great crowds followed him, and there was a man with a skin disease who came to him and knelt before him, saying, “Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean.” He stretched out his hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing.

When he went ashore, he saw a great crowd, and he had compassion for them and cured their sick. When it was evening, the disciplesContinue reading “miracle or sharing?”
Suppress
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and injustice of those who by their injustice suppress the truth. For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. Ever since the creation of the world God’s eternal power and divine nature, invisible thoughContinue reading “Suppress”
What do you want?
“But to what will I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling to one another, ‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we wailed, and you did not mourn.’“For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon’; the Son of Man cameContinue reading “What do you want?”
Sodom
Then he began to reproach the cities in which most of his deeds of power had been done because they did not repent. “Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the deeds of power done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth andContinue reading “Sodom”
