True Dedication
I don't think even leaders in ministry differ much from the prostitute talked about in this scripture. What a challenge for all of us to not want to just have a quick sexual fix, but to be dedicated to…

Disciples can be wicked
To think that a disciple that close to Jesus was a thief even before he betrayed Christ. As we follow Christ, we must realize that there are possibilities of wickedness in our own lives as we follow more…

Unbelievers often fight God
Opens my eyes a bit to read that back in those days (like today) many fought to make sure that a few didn't hear what Christ was doing. We're called to do the opposite, and it's a pleasure to have the…

Not an easy task
A life following God is definitely not easy. No turning from sin, no tithing, no unselfishness? Sounds a bit easier to me, but I like walking the narrow path.

All lust - no love
This is how I see our culture these days. All interested in lust, and some that even take up marriage and vow to love someone until death don't live up to their words.

No painkiller
Jesus had no interest in a painkiller. I wonder if that was because He knew what He was ready to go through or had such courage to go through whatever pain was required to pay for our sins?

Check out His portfolio
What a challenge to let God shine through the work that we are prideful of. If people can't see God in our work, what good is it? If they cheer - may it be for His glory or how they see Him at work.

God is on the market
What are we selling? What are we desiring to make known? God's given us passions and talents, but if they hide God or even place Him behind the success of our efforts - we've lost!

I need a new Mac
This verse hits the nail on the head. If we haven't used what God's given us already to the fullest, how can we expect or desire to have something new. New computers, cars, houses, etc. May God be glorified…

Free to talk
The disciples had to keep their mouths shut after seeing God speak, but Christ made sure that they knew they could speak after He was raised from the dead. I'm glad we're free to talk today!
