Red Chairables #9: The Friend at Midnight

This parable tends to be avoided; because, it compares God to an indisposed friend who must be badgered into offering assistance. From July 17, 2011

Red Chairables #8: The Hidden Treasure & The Priceless Pearl

The point in both these parables is that God’s kingdom doesn’t come without our surrender; so, there is a cost to be counted … and it’s absolutely, categorically worth it! From July 10, 2011

Route 66 #61: 2 Peter

In this follow-up letter, Peter deals with those who pick and choose which of Jesus’ commands to follow. And if ever there was a model of total surrender and passionate, undivided devotion, it’s Peter. From June 26, 2011

Route 66 #60: 1 Peter

Anyone ever mischaracterize your beliefs as being judgmental or unloving? You’ll never reflect Jesus more powerfully or convincingly than when you suffer unjustly and bless those responsible. From June 19, 2011

Route 66 #59: James

James is often compared to Proverbs, because he offers so much practical teaching in short-burst statements. But, it’s all one big challenge to examine our faith and confirm that it’s authentic, or confess that it’s artificial. From June 12, 2011

Count It!

God doesn’t look at situations and people the way that humanity does. With His help, we can change and start to see things the way He does. Guest speaker: Chris Herbert. From June 5, 2011
