What you want
You’re blessed when you’ve lost it all. God’s kingdom is there for the finding. You’re blessed when you’re ravenously hungry. Then you’re ready for the Messianic meal.

War inside…
What causes quarrels and what causes fights among you? Is it not this, that your passions are at war within you? You desire and do not have, so you murder.

What’s for dinner?
And do not seek what you are to eat and what you are to drink, nor be worried. For all the nations of the world seek after these things, and your Father knows that you need them.

Will you be satisfied?
What is it that will satisfy you? Or maybe a better question is will we ever be satisfied? In the gospel text sent to me today, Philip says to Jesus, “Show us the Father and we will be satisfied.” Now is that really all it will take? We all know people (and probably most ofContinue reading “Will you be satisfied?”
What do you need?
I’m sure we have all heard this question before. And I’m sure we have all heard that there is a difference between what we want and what we need. Sometimes there is an overlap, but sometimes what we want and what we need can be polar opposites. And if you are one who follows theContinue reading “What do you need?”
