  • Fear Tactic?

    Stop sinning or something worse may happen to you?? Really?? If I heard someone say this today to a person who had recently been healed of a disease or disability, I would be horrified.

  • authority over the nations

    Wait. The people who are victorious in Pergamum will get hidden manna and a white stone with their name on it while the folks in Thyatira get to rule over the nations? I wonder why?

  • Hidden Manna and a White Stone

  • Baptizing the dead

    I wonder what's behind this.  Where else is it mentioned?  Was it only in Corinth?  When did it fall out of practice?  What did Paul think about it?  It seems like he wasn't concerned enough to condem…

  • He breathed on them??

    I wonder if the disciples were kind of creeped out when Jesus breathed on them? I think I would have been.

  • Sharing what she can

    Twice in this short text, Mary goes to her friends and tells them what she's seen and experienced. She does this even when she doesn't understanding. There's something inspiring about this.
