Yet though he slay me. John 6.60-69
This is a scene that makes my heart ache for Jesus. The people have seen his heart—they have heard his teaching, been fed by him, and seen him heal . . . but now, once something is required of them, they turn away from…

ONLY ONE. John 6.60-69
Oh sure, they were ‘all in’ when he was doing the miraculous . . . come on, do some more! They were ‘all in’ when he was telling them about a kingdom which would have no end … they were sick of harsh Roman rule over…

Eating and drinking Jesus? John 6.51-59
Tis a difficult word, who can abide it?…
Do you think it would have been easier for you to put your trust in Jesus if you lived in the first century, rather than now? Would you more readily believe that Jesus was sent by God if you saw him do a miracle with your own eyes, instead of reading someone else’s account of it? What I am saying is, do you think that believing would come easier to you if you…

If I were to get a tattoo, I would choose one of God’s promises – something that I wanted to always keep in the forefront of my mind. However, it would be challenging to choose which of his promises is most significant to me, because at different times, that seems to change.

Can I be honest here? Their response made me roll my eyes. I thought to myself, ‘Are you kidding me? You want him to prove it to you again—do another miracle, and then you’ll believe in him?’ After all, they had heard about his healings, they had heard about how he saved the wedding couple from disaster by supplying wine when theirs…

Prayer requests come in regularly to my ministry website, but this one really got my attention: “Please pray that I have the strength to keep going in my position in my company. So much is demanded of me, and has been for so long, that I am under immense pressure. I find I have little balance between work and any kind of…

The faces change. The scenarios change . . . the reason does not. ‘I just really want him to love me,’ the high school girl explains to me, the day after she has given far too much of herself away to a demanding young man. She wants love, and is willing to give sex for it. He wants sex, and is willing to promise love for…

Actively seeking out Jesus. John 6.1-13

Today I spoke on the topic of friendship at a one-day retreat, and it prompted me to think of the friendship we are invited to share with God. It also got me thinking about prayer, the way we communicate with our God.
