I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. Therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves. Matthew 10:16 I love this verse. I love it for many, many reasons.

Friendship
A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for a time of adversity. Proverbs 17:17 What kind of friend are you? And no, I’m not asking how well you know someone. I’m not asking how long you’ve known someone either. Neither one of those things really matter, do they? I’ve seen someContinue reading “Friendship”
Throwing Stones
The teachers of the law and the Pharisees brought in a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before the group and said to Jesus, “Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery.

Last night I did just that in prayer. It led me to wonder why. I wondered why he didContinue reading “Bless the Lord”
He is Saying Your Name
Jesus told his disciples on three different occasions that he was going to be killed and on the third day be raised to life. Like we all tend to do, the disciples never really seemed to hear the second part of what Jesus was saying, though. They automatically focused on the bad part, that JesusContinue reading “He is Saying Your Name”
I Am Willing, Be Clean!
When Jesus came down from the mountainside, large crowds followed Him. A man with leprosy came and knelt before Him and said, “Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean.” Jesus reached out His hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” He said. “Be clean!” Immediately he was cleansed of his leprosy.Continue reading “I Am Willing, Be Clean!”
