Obviously, I need to re-evaluate the time I have available for posting. I’m doing a pretty good job keeping up with the readings, but maybe a weekly or semi-weekly posting schedule will be better than shooting for every weekday. Now that this draft is a couple of weeks old, I really have some catching up [...]

Father Give Me…

Luke 15 contains three parables that are very familiar to many. I’ve read and preached on the prodigal son many times. While reading the passage this time, one phrase struck me – “Father give me…”
In verse 12, the son expresses his arrogant, thankless attitude by thinking he deserved anything. Loving parents prodivde for [...]

Edwin already said what I was thinking, though he did a better job of it. So, I’ll share some thoughts about another part of today’s reading.
In chapter 10:38-42, Luke records the following account:
‘Now as they went on their way, Jesus entered a village. And a woman named Martha welcomed him into her house. And she [...]

While reading chapters 7-8 of Luke, one passage in particular caught my attention.
In 7:36-47 we see Jesus invited to dine with a Pharisee, cared for by a woman regarded by all as a “sinner” and Jesus using this recognition to make a strong point.
This woman came in and provided care for Jesus that should have [...]

Continuing our excursion through God’s word, today’s reading is Luke 5 & 6
One point I’d like to consider is Simon’s response to Jesus in 5:5.
Simon had labored all night fishing with nothing to show for his work. There was no reasonable, natural explanation for setting off and trying to catch something else. Yet, when Jesus [...]
In Keeping With Repentance

Today’s reading is Luke 3-4.
There were a number of things that struck me with this text. What really caused some reflection was 3:7-14. John is working to turn these people back to the Lord (1:17) and finds many who he regards as vicious snakes coming with the crowds.
What was the difference that set these apart [...]
To Make Ready for the Lord

Today’s reading is Luke 1-2. This reading is often focused on Jesus and His birth. What struck me today was this passage encouraging Zechariah about what sort of man his son would be.
“and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother’s womb. And he will turn many of the children [...]
