DO YOU SEE WHAT I SEE? Before you answer that question, I will ask you another: do you love people? Stop. Interview yourself, and then answer the question honestly. If you do not, ask God to help you love others, for it is his will. I am on the last leg of my journey back across the United States, from New York back home to Southern California. The best part of travelling is all the people I meet along the way. I love New York City, but it is all of the people met in transit and whilst there…

Battle Tested. 2 Chronicles 20.1-30; Matthew 4.1-2
Good Day.
Jesus was tested because it enabled him to identify with anything and everything that we might face in our lives. The writer of Hebrews expressed, “Therefore, in all things He had to be made like His brethren, that He might be a merciful and faithful High Priest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people. For in that He Himself has suffered,…

They are coming Home. Thanksgiving, 2014.
Happy Thanksgiving.
This is a unique year … three of my four children are up and out of the house, but will be coming home for Thanksgiving. Wait, wasn’t it just yesterday, that I was ten years old, running down the stairs in my big old Colonial Revival home with all of the smells of Thanksgiving already under way in my mother’s kitchen? And I was the youngest of four children, waiting for each of them to arrive! Time goes by.…

The religious were blind. Matthew 3.1-12; Luke 7.24-35
Hi.
When John saw the sanctimonious Pharisees and Sadducees1 coming out to the desert, he blasted them, calling them out for their outward piety, while their hearts were unrepentant. Their garb identified them and their position but it also helped them maintain their religious pride rather than seeing their sin. It seems…

The Baptizer - Wild and Woolly. Matthew 3.1-6
It was long ago in a galaxy far, far away … or at least it seems that way. The speaker followed at least three others who came out with rather splashy multi-media presentations, Power Point illustrations and statistics, and frankly kept my rapt attention. It was more than 10 years ago now. And then came one. He came out with a simple stool and a smallish black Bible—that’s all. Mostly, Erwin McManus talked…

Growing up Jesus.
Howdy.
As a classroom teacher, it was an exhilarating feeling to recognize when I had a brilliant student sitting under my tutelage. Even as I type, various young faces come to mind with their inquisitive minds, probing questions and keen insights. These were the students who really kept me on my toes, endeavoring to answer their questions, and keep a challenge ever before them. Can you imagine being the teacher or rabbi teaching Jesus in the little…
