Following the broad sweep of history and answering the questions: What is true? What is important? What, now, shall we do?
Discipleship, Even Unto The Details
“And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even unto death on a cross.” Philippians 2:8 NASB That is how Jesus defines obedience. And in Luke 14 He tells us what obedience looks like if we are to be His...
Word Of The Day: Bedlam
For God is not the author of confusion but of peace. 1 Corinthians 14:33a NKJV Bedlam is both entirely foreign to the Attributes of God, and diametrically opposed to His Will. The Bedlam continuum (disorder, chaos, bedlam) signifies the absence of God and the poverty...
Spiritual Formation
I don’t mean to say that I have already achieved these things or that I have already reached perfection. But I press on to possess that perfection for which Christ Jesus first possessed me. Paul, Philippians 3:12 NLT And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory...
Easter Redux | 4
What Love Is This? In the Garden of Gethsemane, immediately before His arrest, trial, and crucifixion, Jesus knelt and began to pray, “Father, if You are willing, take this cup from Me, nevertheless, not My will, but Yours, be done.” Then an angel from heaven appeared...

Easter Redux | 2
I Am The Man One of the twelve disciples, Thomas called the Twin, was not with them when Jesus came. So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord!” Thomas said to them, “Unless I see the scars of the nails in His hands and put my finger on those scars and...
Easter Redux | 1
Crucified “I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.” Galatians 2:20 NASB #Easter2026
Humilitas | A Life Hack
Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interest of the others. Philippians 2:3-4 NIV The reason Paul told the church to do nothing out of selfish...
Winning The Battle Of Our Minds | A Life Hack
For as a man thinketh, so is he. Proverbs 23:7 KJV The mind is a battlefield: We are engaged in a war. Our enemy is Satan. The battlefield is the mind. The devil works diligently to set up strongholds in our mind. He does it through strategy and deceit; through well...
The Road To Emmaus
Passion Play, Act 10, Scene 2 But we were hoping that it was He who was going to redeem Israel. And, besides all this, today is the third day since these things happened. Luke 24:21 On that same day two of Jesus' followers were going to a village named Emmaus, about...
Sunday, Jerusalem, circa AD 33
The Empty Tomb Early Sunday morning one of the friends comes back with rags and a jug of water and a box of the grave spices that are supposed to cut down on the smell. She’s braced for the task. But when she comes to the grave she finds that the linens have been...
Saturday, Jerusalem, circa AD 33
A Day Like Any Other It is the Jewish Sabbath. The city is quiet. The air above the city lacks the usual thousand little trails of smoke from cookfires. Hymns rise from the temple. Families are indoors. The soldiers are back in their barracks. The Chief Priest grows...
Friday, Jerusalem, circa AD 33
The Veil Is Torn Asunder In His last hours Jesus uttered seven statements that have become known as the Seven Last Words Of Christ: Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do. Verily I say unto thee, today shalt thou be with Me in paradise. Woman, behold Thy...
Thursday, Jerusalem, circa AD 33
Passover: A Drama In Three Acts Act 1: The Last Supper Jesus knows His time as Son of Man on earth is nearing an end. It is time for the Passover. He instructs His disciples to prepare the Passover meal: On the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread, the...
Wednesday, Jerusalem, circa AD 33
The Betrayal: Let's Make a Deal The Festival of Unleavened Bread, which is also called Passover, was approaching. The leading priests and teachers of religious law were plotting how to kill Jesus, but they were afraid of the people's reaction. Then Satan entered into...
Tuesday, Jerusalem, circa AD 33
It is Passion Week. Tuesday finds Jesus continuing to teach. By Whose Authority? When Jesus returned to the Temple and began teaching, the leading priests and elders came up to him. They demanded, to know by whose authority He had thrown out the merchants the day...
Monday, Jerusalem, circa AD 33
In this final week before Passover, Jesus went to the temple every day to teach and heal. He knew that the time available for His earthly mission was running short. And His human patience was also running short. We witness an example of righteous anger. On Monday...
The Confession of Confessions
So God raised Him up to the highest place and gave Him the name above all. So when His name is called, every knee will bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the...
