Monday— I’m astonished that you are quickly turning to a different gospel, which is really no gospel at all. Galatians 1:6-7 What IS this gospel the Bible talks about? Before we can share the gospel with other people, we need to be clear about what it is and what it is NOT. The term “gospel”…

Monday— Some time later, God tested Abraham.  Genesis 22:1 “I hear your department has almost completed work on a flying car,” said Wilt. Lane nodded as he closed his briefcase. “I think we’re there. I’d almost let my kids ride in it.” Wilt laughed. “Well, what’s stopping you?” Lane slid his card through the security…

Monday— Let love and faithfulness never leave you; …write them on the tablet of your heart.   Proverbs 3:3 FAITHFULNESS: the quality of being loyal and trustworthy; being true to one’s commitments.

Monday—   This man lived in the tombs, and no one could bind him anymore, not even with a chain.  Mark 5:3  Tombstones. Graves. Cemeteries. They creep us out a little, especially after dark. Graveyards have an eerie quality because they are so final. No one being buried in a tomb is coming back. In first-century…

Monday—  …without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins.  Hebrews 9:22  Why the cross? Couldn’t God just forgive everyone without that? He’s God; can’t He do whatever He wants to? The more we learn about Jesus and His sacrifice, the more we bump into questions like these. Most people know the phrase…

Monday—  God saw all that he had made, and it was very good.  Genesis 1:31  “I can’t believe in a God who would allow such evil in the world,” Shane announced. “Exactly,” answered Monica. “If God is so great, why did He make a world with earthquakes, disease, and murder? Why would a good God…
