The Transfiguration of Jesus Christ is recorded three times in the gospels, but only Luke tells us that the disciples had been napping. Here we read: “But Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep: and when they were awake, they saw his glory…” (9:32) Are you a nap-taker? When my parents … Read More
Many times when I am reading the words of Jesus, I am amazed when His words separate people. In Matthew 25 we have various separations taking place: those who are ready for His coming, and those who are not prepared; the sheep and the goats; and the faithful from the unfaithful. The parable of the … Read More
The secret of the Lord is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant. Psalm 25:14 This verse is a portion of the theme of this entire chapter, God’s guidance. The covenant God made with Israel was written on tablets of stone and laid up within the Ark of the Covenant. … Read More
No, not the ones you would normally think of this time of the year: gold, frankincense, and myrrh. Recently, I have been studying the wonderful story of “The Prodigal Son”.
