Here’s the Rest of Your Day
Jesus said. “Do to others as you would have them do to you.” “Love your enemy…” “Do good to those who hate you…” “Love one another as I have loved you.” “If you Love Me, you will obey what I command.” There’s your day. And the rest of your life. Any questions? —j

Unleash It
Here I sit, recovering from a bad bout with food poisoning where the food won the first round. When your guts ache, news-watching seemed all the more painful, especially the blind and trendy attacks on the simple Good News that Jesus saves souls. But the message, simple as it is, is powerful beyond measure and in no danger…

Hast Thou No Scar?
Following Jesus? Wounds are assured. So is glory. Hast thou no scar? No hidden scar on foot or side or hand? I hear thee sung as mighty in the land, I hear them hail thy bright ascendant star; Hast thou no scar? Hast thou no wound? Yet, I was wounded by the archers, spent. Leaned…

The Beginning of Ministry
Though he was fictional, the bishop in Victor Hugo’s novel, Les Miserables, was a masterful depiction of ministry. He held the pivotal moment in Hugo’s epic story of grace and salvation, and epitomized the influence of a man who, for the sake of Christ, was simply there… “M. Myriel [the Bishop of Digne] could be summoned at any hour to the bedside of the…

What Will You Do With Forever?
What will we do with eternity? More than we know, I’m sure. But perhaps the Apostle John gave us a clue. He ended his gospel with these words: “Jesus did many other things as well. If every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books…

Jesus Knows—Do We?
A dear friend, Ken Needham, recently suffered a heart aliment and cancer—at the same time.

May He establish His kingdom in your lifetime and during your days, and within the life of the entire House of Israel,…

Have An ‘Absolute’ Day
This is account may or may not be traditional, but it’s message couldn’t be truer nor the task more certain… “Little children, Love one another,” the aged John the Apostle taught his young disciples. “Why do you always say this one thing?” they asked. “It is the Lord’s command, and if it is done, it is enough…” he replied. Jesus’ command…

Monday Morning Prayer
“Dear Lord, So far today, I’ve done all right. I haven’t gossiped, haven’t lost my temper, haven’t been greedy, grumpy, nasty, selfish, or over indulgent. I’m very thankful for that. But, in a few minutes, God, I’m going to get out of bed. And from then on, I’m probably going to need a lot more…

The Perfect Church
I think that I shall never see A Church that’s all it ought to be; A Church whose members never stray Beyond the Strait and Narrow way; A Church that has no empty pews, Whose Pastor never has the blues, A Church whose Deacons always deak, And none is proud, and all are meek. Where…
