Lazarus of No Rank: Loved by Jesus
John 11.3 So the sisters sent to him, saying, ‚ÄúLord, he whom you love is ill.‚Äù Something has to be said about Lazarus being loved by Jesus, a friend of Jesus, and NOT one of the disciples. Considering that the 12 are mentioned in several places and arguing about who would be the greatest and […]
The Earth and Its Events are Full of God's Glory
John 11.4 ‚ÄúThis illness does not lead to death. It is for the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified through it.‚Äù As always, Jesus sees more to the situation than anyone else. He sees that Lazarus died for the glory of God, just like the storm came up in […]
Jesus Takes us Fully Knowing Him VERY Seriously
John 11.5-611:5 (Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus. 11:6 So when he heard that Lazarus was sick, he remained in the place where he was for two more days. John reminds us that Jesus loved them, before he drops the big SO bomb on us. Jesus was more concerned that the Father‚Äôs […]
Three Verses that Revealed my Contradictions
So the question yesterday that a guy at Sunday School asked was about Matthew 5.27-30, where Jesus talks about ripping out eyes and chopping off hands if they lead you to sin. He asked if we should take that seriously or not. I love the way he asked that question, because you can only answer […]

Prodigal God, by Timothy Keller
I just finished Prodigal God, by Timothy Keller, and it is very very good. I think it messed me up more than ever though concerning Jesus and grace! Here is the premise: In the so-called ‘parable of the prodigal son’ Jesus actually tells the story of two lost sons. One is lost because of his […]
Abundant Life, Rule Free, from Jesus the Shepherd
[I am sick as a dog today. stopped up, cold, runny nose, some stomach pains and nausea earlier. I‚Äôve just been still in the chair surfing the internet for a while. It‚Äôs hard to think.] v.8 Jesus isn‚Äôt talking about the prophets, but about false prophets and false teachers. The wild thing is, the converse […]
