Friends—it doesn't matter how many times you have failed. It doesn't matter how far you have drifted. It doesn't matter how long you've been away. God is willing—and able—to restore you. He is willing—and able—to bring you back to where you want to be in him.

Something eternal was cooking in this home in Bethany—but it was not in the kitchen. That meal would soon be consumed & forgotten. But the meal Jesus was serving in the living room would last forever. Don’t miss the one while you are preparing the other.

He promised it would be so: And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age. (Matthew 28:20) Wherever you go, whatever you do, you can be sure one thing is true: He is here.

The everyday life of an everyday disciple is praying for laborers, going & telling, speaking the Good News & rejoicing that your name is written in heaven…

Learn from Jesus and His relationship with Mary about honor, love and respect.

Jesus responds to the disciples request that He teach them to pray.

Rely on yourself & your own righteousness & you'll receive nothing. Or put your faith in Jesus Christ & receive everything he has to give.

It's foolish to live any life other than the life of faith. Faith is the key. Faith opens the window to God's blessings.

God the Father wants so much for you to be at peace with him & at peace with yourself & at peace with your past & at peace with others, that He sent His Son into the world to do the do unimaginable: to make restitution for all the wrong you have done. As John wrote, He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins & not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world. (1 John 2:2)

If you want an edge in life, I would say to you the same thing a coach would say to a new recruit: Learn the playbook. Make it your lifelong pursuit to know the Word (Jesus) and His Word, so that you can become a Doer of the Word.
