Here is my servant, whom I uphold, my chosen, in whom my soul delights; I have put my spirit upon him; he will bring forth justice to the nations. He will not cry or lift up his voice, or make it heard in the street; a bruised reed he will not break, and a dimly burning wick he will not quench; heContinue reading “Tell You about it…”

St. Peter joke…
A man approaches the Pearly Gates shortly after his death. As he stands in line, he hears the people ahead of him telling St. Peter about all of the great things they accomplished during their lives. When it’s his turn, St. Peter looks at his ledger and says, “Your life was an unmitigated disaster. OneContinue reading “St. Peter joke…”
Need
After he had said this, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem. When he had come near Bethphage and Bethany, at the place called the Mount of Olives, he sent two of the disciples, saying, “Go into the village ahead of you, and as you enter it you will find tied there a colt thatContinue reading “Need”
encouraging?
Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the holy places by the blood of Jesus, by the new and living way that he opened for us through the curtain, that is, through his flesh, and since we have a great priest over the house of God, let us draw near with a true heartContinue reading “encouraging?”

Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with shouts of joy; then they said among the nations, “The LORD has done great things for them.” The LORD has done great things for us; we are glad. Restore ourContinue reading “traveling buddy”

We know that the judgment of God rightly falls on those who practice such things. Do you suppose, O man—you who judge those whoContinue reading “judgement…”
Fiery Furnace…
Then Nebuchadnezzar was so filled with rage against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego that his face was distorted. He ordered the furnace to be heated up seven times more than was customary, and ordered some of the strongest guards in his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego and to throw them into the furnace of blazingContinue reading “Fiery Furnace…”
Do for who?
“All things are lawful,” but not all things are helpful. “All things are lawful,” but not all things build up. Let no one seek his own good, but the good of his neighbor. Eat whatever is sold in the meat market without raising any question on the ground of conscience. For “the earth is theContinue reading “Do for who?”
How are we made right?
What then shall we say was gained by Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh? For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not before God. For what does the Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness.” Now to the one who works,Continue reading “How are we made right?”
Do we want to be gathered?
“O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to it! How often would I have gathered your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you would not! See, your house is left to you desolate. For I tell you, you will not seeContinue reading “Do we want to be gathered?”
