A warning against self-righteousness
Far too often we, as Christians, pat ourselves on the back for simply doing what we ought to be doing anyway. This is a great reminder that we are SUPPOSED to follow God's commands and are not special…

What's this story about?
If you're like me, you were a little confused as to the purpose of this story. It's apparently similar to the stories in the other gospels, but in them, the fig tree is cursed and dies. Here, it's given…

The lesson here is...
We should work hard and be open-handed with our resources. If Christ came today, would he tell us we've been generous and freely gave, or that we've been a hoarder - not physically buried underneath our…

Why Put Oil On Your Head?
Putting oil was just a normal part of hygiene back in this time. This is just another way of carrying out v. 18 (..."so that you don't show your fasting to people..."). This is not some extravagant fragrant…

Who is "him" in John 11:16?
At first, this seems like a weird statement when Thomas says "Let's go so that we may die with him." If you're like me, at first glance it seems like he's referring to Lazarus, but if you look in context,…

I love verse 9!
How awesome is it that our God not only knows past and future events, but that he is also there in the past and future already??? He clearly declares this in verse 9 when He says, "OK, I told you what…

Head Coverings in 1 Cor. 11
Apparently, a man having an uncovered head in worship was a societal sign of respect, much like today when a gentleman takes off his hat when entering a building. As far the women were concerned, a female…

This is probably Mark mentioned.
I'm not sure that I ever noticed these few verses before. I did some research, and it seems that most scholars agree that it was Mark himself. Mark's gospel is a telling of Peter's experiences with…
