The Wednesday Word: Jesus the Least

“Verily I say unto you, among them that are born of women there has not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.”  (Matthew 11:11). In my early years as a Christian, I was taught that this verse demonstrated that the weakest believer in the New Covenant was greater than John the Baptist. In other words, I was told, for…

Personal Repentance

Warm greetings to all who seek Christ our Lord and the Kingdom of God. I, a servant of God, who did abandon my post long ago, and hide my face from the Lord, could not stand when upon me came the voice of God inquiring as to what I had done. Like Adam, I hid, naked and afraid of the shame of my heart through the will of my mind to carry out actions and words of my pride and greed and heartfelt…

Christ the King Sunday (John 18:33-37)

Jesus was a king and a ruler who used his power and authority for those on the underbelly of society, that is, people without much, if any, power or authority.

Statue of Christ the King, in Świebodzin, Poland Then Pilate entered the headquarters again, summoned Jesus, and asked him, “Are you the King of the Jews?”  Jesus answered, “Do you ask this on your own, or did others tell you about me?”  Pilate replied, “I am not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests have handed you over to me. What have you done?”  Jesus answered, “My kingdom…

The Secret: Christ In You and the Path to Wisdom

The apostle Paul unveils a profound mystery in his letter to the Colossians, something that had been hidden for ages: “And this is the secret: Christ lives in you. This gives you assurance of sharing His glory” (Colossians 1:27). He goes on to say, “In Christ lie hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge” (Colossians 2:3). The secret is out—Christ in us is the key to unlocking a life of…

Do As You Have Spoken

16 Then King David went in and sat before the Lord and said, “Who am I, O Lord God, and what is my house, that you have brought me thus far? 17 And this was a small thing in your eyes, O God. You have also spoken of your servant’s house for a great while to come, and have shown me future generations, O Lord God! 18 And what more can David say to you for honoring your servant? For you know your…

Verse of the Day 6-13-22

Verse of the Day 6-13-22

Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind. Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to…

A Small Book Bringing Mighty Words for Living Forgiven

A Small Book Bringing Mighty Words for Living Forgiven

And the journey continues….to Micah. The book of Micah was written by the prophet Micah, who lived during the reigns of Jotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah, all kings of Judah. He was a contemporary with the prophets Isaiah and Hosea. This was a time of great idolatry in Israel and Judah. The Lord God was not pleased with their idol worship and Micah’s messages told of the destruction and fall of Samaria…

I Am Among You As One Who Serves (Luke 22:24-30)

God’s economy is characterized by equality, mutuality, diversity, and shared power.

The Last Supper, by Mamdouh Kashlan (1929-2022) A dispute also arose among them as to which one of them was to be regarded as the greatest. But he said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them; and those in authority over them are called benefactors. But not so with you; rather the greatest among you must become like the youngest, and the leader like one who serves. For who is…

I thought it was going to be different!

I thought it was going to be different!

How many times could you begin or end one of your stories with this line? “I thought it was going to be different!”

Often in life things simply turn out different than what we expected, what we imagined, what we hoped, or what we desired. In fact, there are seasons of life where it seems like most of our stories are somewhat unlike what we thought was going to happen. I could compose an entire…

...that you may lift us up!

…that you may lift us up!

Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up — James 4:10 All Mighty God! We stand in reverent awe before you…our hands lifted up, our heads bowed down…our hearts feasting only on your goodness, mercy and grace! We have come to say “you alone art worthy”…we have to say “there is none like you”! For we have wandered enough and strayed to the ends of the earths and yet your…

L.O.V.E. C.A.M.E.

“He himself bore our sins” in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; “by his wounds, you have been healed” (I Peter 2:24, NIV).

  Love of Christ shine out of me

Open hands of Christ to suffering humanity

Valiant spirit of Christ, help me fight against inhumanity

Enfold me in a far greater humility

  Christ who died carrying the weight of your sin to the…

A Life of Humility

A life of humility is a one of service to God and others. It leaves no room for boasting.

The Christian life should be a life of humility.

Every believer’s top priority is to present himself as a living sacrifice to God. It is a life of consecration. It is an act of supreme worship.  It is the only way we can be what God wants us to be, or do what God wants us to do.  It marks the entrance into usefulness to God.

Paul follows his exhortation to be living sacrifices in chapter 12 by…
