  • Offer the Broken

    Jesus/God can only heal what you offer him. In our culture we tend to show/offer people our best and hide our worst.  Skills based approach - works really well in business. Notice when Jesus asked him…

  • Action equals learning

    James seems to be implying here that action will result in learning. Listening to God's word isn't enough. Acting on it permanantly places it in our memory. Research on learning through involvement.

    Job, like all humanity, longed for a bridge, a mediator b/w him and God. Jesus brought us together with God (v33); took away our punishment (v34); and allowed us to live w/o fear through His own strength…

    I find it interesting that the rich man replies to Jesus' list of commandments the way he does. If I would have kept them all, I think I would've replied "Whew, OK, so I'm good to go then?" Instead, in…

    I really think what Jesus is saying here is 'conversion is easy.' Its bearing fruit that requires daily crucifixion of the flesh. Its easy to say 'Abraham is my father' or 'I've accepted Jesus as my…
