Path of Truth
One of the disadvantages of living in an information age is attempting to discern the truth in a forest of ideas, facts, and popular sentiment. The Bible will never steer you wrong. In His prayer from John 17:17-18, Jesus reminded His disciples then and His disciples today, “Sanctify them by the truth; Your word is […]
Seeking Priorities
What’s the first priority you seek every morning? For those of us with the world at our fingertips through smart phones we use as alarm clocks, it’s way too easy to have a first priority be something other than God. Maybe a priority for the New Year could be to seek the Lord, call on […]
Happy New Year 2024!
I wish you and yours a very happy New Year! I know the years seem to be increasingly wild and unpredictably distressing in unparalleled ways. There is good news, though: Jesus is the One who sits on the throne, and He said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” And He said, “Write, for these […]
From the Jews, For the World–Merry Christmas 2023
As we close out this devotional series for Advent “From the Jews, For the World” we look at a marvelous mystery: that Jesus would leave behind all of heaven with the riches and relationship He knew before the “Word became flesh”, and that He would choose to make His dwelling among us for three decades […]

Not a Baby Anymore (Advent 21, 2023)
It’s ironic how people who are steadfast in their unbelief project themselves onto Jesus and want to see Jesus as some sort of socialist hippie who is tolerant of every kind of evil and loves sinners so much that He gives their sin a pass. Nothing could be further from the truth. They take the […]
Opportunity Knocks (Advent 20, 2023)
Had the situation been “For the Jew for they alone are the Chosen Few” there would be reason to question… “Why them?” God, we could argue, would have His own reasons for how He does things, but from a human point of view, it makes for a lot of sadness at something none of us […]
Not Done Yet (Advent 19, 2023)
I don’t know when this replacement nonsense began, but the Church has not replaced the Jews as God’s Chosen People. The Jews have been on hold, according to Romans, for one reason: so that the full Gentile number can enter. “And if [the Chosen People] do not persist in unbelief, they will be grafted in, […]
