It’s easy to confuse Elisha with his mentor Elijah. Not only do their names sound similar but they also performed similar miracles. Come along with us to explore how Elisha and Elijah were similar, how they were different, and how they both represented God’s nature. Discover how Elisha went on to do even greater things than Elijah and how through their story we find out what God can do for us!

Two workers at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station desperately needed medical care. One had suffered a heart attack and the other was experiencing life-threatening gastric issues. The only way to ensure their recovery was to launch a rescue mission. Due to harsh conditions, however, including darkness and minus 75-degrees centigrade (-103F) temperatures from February to October, planes didn’t normally risk flying to the outpost during winter. But the pilots were determined to rescue the workers—and they did, despite enduring a difficult two days of challenging flights.

Stories of rescue are inspiring. The greatest rescue story was when Jesus rescued us from sin. The apostle Peter wrote, “ ‘He himself bore our sins’ in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness” (1 Peter 2:24). He rescued us by bearing our sins in His body. He carried them as a sacrifice—a sacrifice in which he “suffered for you” and for me (v. 21). On the cross, Christ bore the curse of the Law (Galatians 3:13) and endured our shame. He was wounded so we might be healed, and He died so that we might be delivered from the penalty and power of sin (1 Peter 2:24; Isaiah 53:5).  

How amazing it is to know that we were rescued from our own desperate condition by One who was willing to endure the harshest of conditions for us!

Each year my family designs a custom wall calendar, but lately it’s getting a bit crowded. We decorate each month with our favorite photos from the previous year and highlight significant dates. As our family welcomes new spouses and children, we’ve had to squeeze in more photos to make sure every person is included. We now have two sets of shared birthdays, and some holidays are covered up by anniversaries. But instead of detracting from the calendar, all the new members make it even more precious to me. 

In God’s kingdom the inclusion of newcomers is always a blessing. The Bible tells us that God delights to “set the lonely in families” (Psalm 68:6). His love and protection are communicated in the context of a family, as He’s a “father to the fatherless” and a “defender of widows” (v. 5). His heart is to welcome those who are isolated, ashamed, or accused, causing Him to “lead out the prisoners with singing” (v. 6).

As believers in Jesus, we’ve been adopted into God’s family (Galatians 4:5), and we’re commissioned to share His open invitation with others (2 Corinthians 5:20). Like my family calendar, the more people who accept the invitation into God’s family, the more beautiful it becomes. We don’t have to be concerned about running out of a finite resource—there’s room enough for everyone, and He delights in new additions.

It’s Mailbag Friday! You’ve got questions, we’ve got answers!

Segment 1:

• When should you end an evangelism conversation—too soon or not soon enough?

• Has Vacation Bible School become just a big distraction?

Segment 2:

• Is it wrong to use verses out of context if the goal is encouragement?

• What does “small-o orthodox” really mean—and why does it matter?

Segment 3:

• Should youth pastors entertain to be effective—or stand firm?

• How do you survive college spiritually—without your mom?

Segment 4:

• Are you really making disciples—or just preaching at people?

• Should I leave a church that uses the sinner’s prayer—even if the preaching is sound?
