Scripture in Action

Jesus warns about the end times, but most of us don't think it will happen in our lifetimes. We may be right. But the world ends for us when we end, no? Are you ready?

Jesus says that in the last days (that's now), there will be many coming out of the woodwork, saying all kinds of things to get us to follow them. What should we know?

Jesus prophecies the destruction of the Temple of Jerusalem 40 years before it happened. But why would God allow the destruction of the temple in which people prayed to him?

The world is in shambles! How do we repair it? We can take a cue from Nehemiah, rather than the Pharisees, and begin the restoration today.

It's not a thought that is palatable, but we can be a lot like the Pharisees whom we despite, so perhaps we might want to change?

We continue our examination of the "woes" that Jesus said would befall the Pharisees — and might befall us if we act in imitation of them rather than of Jesus.

In the Beatitudes, Jesus spells out seven things that lead to blessings, grace, and peace. In the Woes, he spells out the things that lead to a life of misery, struggle, and unhappiness. Which do we want?

Jesus never asked us to do anything that he didn't do himself. We also should be careful to do the same.

David wrote: The LORD says to my lord: "Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet'" (Psalms 110:1).

Jesus tells us to love him with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength. The question is: How do we love someone we can't see or hear?
