Since I last wrote during Passover, there were campus protests on the grounds of many major universities. Commencement traditions have been canceled, scaled back, and held with heightened security. There are now students who have been encouraged to flee for their safety or offered virtual learning. Some are demanding refunds of their tuition or alumni are […]
We’re in the midst of Passover, a time when the Jewish people remember that God set them apart. I don’t know why people fail to understand that this wasn’t just until Jesus came, as preeminently important as that was. I am astonished, and not in a good way, at what’s happening with antisemitism on college […]
The Apostle Paul knew a mystery. Actually, he knew plenty of them. In 2 Corinthians 12:2-10, he lets us know that he did and displayed how these revelations cut him to the core. He knew inexpressible things no one is permitted to tell. “I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught […]
Ephesians 3:2 Surely you have heard about the administration of God’s grace that was given to me for you, 3 that is, the mystery made known to me by revelation, as I have already written briefly. 4 In reading this, then, you will be able to understand my insight into the mystery of Christ, 5 […]
Born again with new eyes, we can now see the incomparable and infinite Love of God Almighty while we were still sinners. And He loved us to His death because we were still sinners! Divine Love from our Eternal God, the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End, His Love has been for us […]

On the church calendar, today is Good Friday and our eyes turn to the Cross. The Crucifixion is the clearest display of God’s love toward us. God couldn’t just let hell win and claim the souls of men without offering mankind a way out … but He had to do it while still maintaining both […]
Jesus is one day closer to His Crucifixion and takes time for an act of service and the giving of a new command to love each other as He has loved us. “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. (John 13:34) This […]
In the Passion Week timeline, Jesus is within hours of dying on a Cross for the sins of humanity. Why did He go through with it? The only answer is that there was no other way. . In His humanity, Jesus prayed to His Father about whether there were other possibilities. “Going a little farther, […]
The events of “Passion Week” always strike me as amazing.
