    There are many times that the disciples get an intimate time with Jesus to talk to him like a friend and brother. Do you ever take that time in prayer to just asking him questions?

    What would it feel like for Jesus to take the time to count the hairs on your head or to know every wrinkle on your hand? Would we fear anything if we truly knew his tender care?

    Jesus had pity on the people, so he commissioned the Apostles to heal the sick. Imagine with me today that you were one of the ones pitied by Jesus. This took me back to the poem The Hound of Heaven by Francis Thompson specifically the end of the poem when he turns around to face the hound that has been pursuing his whole life.

  • God's not worried about your doubt (Matthew 28:16-20)

    Send us Fan Mail

    Ever get worried about not having it all together? The disciples didn't have it all together and that didn't stop Jesus from working through them. Pray with me as I contemplate the passage from the Gospel of Matthew about Jesus ascending into heaven. It says the disciples worshiped, but they doubted, but Jesus doesn't seem to get hung up on their doubt. He still commissions them to go into all the nations and preach the gospel, making disciples, baptizing and teaching them all he commanded them.
