“Then Jesus told him, ‘Go back home. Your son will live!’” (John 4:50a NLT) In a previous post I mentioned that some of the best and some of the worst people I’ve met, were in the church.

The Body of Christ
“Just as our bodies have many parts and each part has a special function, so it is with Christ’s body. We are many parts of one body, and we all belong to each other.” (Romans 12:4-5 NLT) As I tried to address in yesterday’s post, true belief in Jesus is nearly impossible to manifest asContinue reading “The Body of Christ”

“Then the Kingdom of Heaven will be like ten bridesmaids who took their lamps and went to meet the bridegroom.” (Matthew 25:1 NLT) Like the other parables Jesus told, this is a fictional story designed to make one primary point, but from which other pertinent information can be gleaned. I will summarize the story thatContinue reading “Are You Ready for the Bridegroom?”
