Jesus is chillaxing with his disciples in a field and they began to pick grain because they were hungry. The Pharisees saw it and called them out, because it happened to be the Sabbath. A day of rest. I believe in the Sabbath. I believe you should take one day, atleast, a week and just [...]
Well I finally got the email that threw me over the line. And I will offend many people with what I am about to say, so for that I am sorry. Here we go…..I am so sick and tired of getting all of these anti Obama emails from people who call themselves christians. I actually [...]
SoI just finished watching Expelled. Anyone else seen this? I am not sure what to think at the moment. I am trying to take it all in and process it a bit. It was a bit of a little information overload, but very interesting indeed. One thing that sticks out right now is how dangerous Darwinism [...]
There they were. Three kids. One on a skateboard, one walking slowly with mirror covered sunglasses, and one twirling an unlit camel in his hand. And there we were. On our way to lunch. Homemade Italian chicken soup and A and W root beer awaiting our arrival. I turn to Steve and ask him [...]

So what’s the connection between the healing of the sick and forgiveness of sins? Is there a connection there or was Jesus just using it to start dialogue with the spiritual leaders of his day? Just a thought.
Now we also find that a disciple named Matthew was asked to join the “tribe” , thanks Seth [...]
In Matthew Chapter seven, Matthew talks about some things Jesus was teaching on. Jesus used fruit as a comparison to what kind of people we are. How is our fruit? I happen to be a horticulturalist by trade and love it when Jesus uses plants to describe faith and life. I connect to it really [...]
Jesus teaching on a few issues…..
1. Blessed are the spiritually poor, the kingdom of heaven is theirs.
Who are the spiritually poor? How do we treat the spiritually poor?

I love this passage. It screams [...]
