How Far Am I Willing To Go?

ByJody September 19, 2019September 19, 2019

I was thinking this morning about Jesus sitting on a hillside talking to 2, 3, 4,000 people. I am not an ancient near Eastern historian so I don’t know what the population of Nazareth or even Jerusalem was. It struck me that these people walked from their homes to go hear what this “Teacher” had…

Adult Sunday School Observations

ByJody September 9, 2019September 9, 2019

I have two terrific SS (Sunday School) teachers. They take time every week to read the material, check other sources for what they say about the subject or the time frame. One of the teachers has a Masters Degree in Biblical Languages and the other teacher reads extensively and brings us many perspectives from Oswald…

ByJody May 11, 2019May 11, 2019

Then Simeon blessed them and said to Mary, his mother: “This child is destined to cause the falling and rising of many in Israel, and to be a sign that will be spoken against,so that the thoughts of many hearts will be revealed. And a sword will pierce your own soul too.” – Luke 2:34-35…

Why Did Jesus Come to Earth for Me?

ByJody April 18, 2019April 18, 2019

Instead of focusing my attention on what all is going on in my “normal” week, I’ve been meditating on what Jesus’ week may have been like. It’s Holy Week. Question: Why did Jesus, Immanuel, God-in-the-flesh, come for me? He could have fulfilled the need for a perfect sacrifice without coming to earth. He could have…

The Darkness Around Christmas

ByJody December 24, 2017December 23, 2017

There is a Child within a manger Whose love can reach the smallest heart, From kings to shepherds, To everyone of us whose dreams have been torn apart. And he was born for all the children Who watch the snow and dream their dream. He is the Sunrise, He is the Child of Hope, The Star…

Love One Another

ByJody July 22, 2017

“… you can’t come where I am going. So now I am giving you a new commandment: Love each other. Just as I have loved you, you should love each other. Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples.” John 13:33-35 (NLT) Jesus said this to His disciples…

Let Me Live in the Glory of Your Grace

ByJody July 7, 2017

I was listening to this song two nights ago and I was struck by the phrase, Let me live in the glory of Your grace. What does this mean? I define God’s grace as His unconditional love. It is His grace that sent Jesus to die for my sins before I was born, before I…

“I love you, Jody!”

ByJody July 4, 2017

How often have you heard God say that to you? How often does a father tell his child “I love you”? Once in a lifetime? Every year? Every month? Every week? Every day? [Jesus said,] “Is there anyone among you who, if your child asks for bread, will give a stone? Or if the child…

Sometimes, It Takes A Mountain or A Desert

ByJody June 4, 2017June 4, 2017

O Lord, you have examined my heart and know everything about me. You know when I sit down or stand up. You know my thoughts even when I’m far away. You see me when I travel and when I rest at home. You know everything I do. You know what I am going to say…

Consider: Christianity – This Week

ByJody April 11, 2017

What would my life be like if I had not been born a Christian? I would never have tasted a piece of bacon if I had been born in a Jewish family! And if I had been born in Nigeria and Muslim, caring for hospice patients and their families would have never been such a…
