God Insists

by Tyler Dirks

Remember that time John was stuck in prison and he sent his friends to ask Jesus, “Are you the one who is to come, or shall we look for another?” Or what about that time when the disciples of John came to Jesus, and asked Him, “Why do we and the Pharisees fast, but your […]

Let’s talk about Mary. Mary the earthly mother of Jesus? No doubt she’s a fascinating lady, and I would love to chat about her at some point in the future (e.g. What did she especially remember about her encounter with Gabriel? What was the biggest fight she and Joseph ever got in? What are 3 […]

Do you fancy yourself “strong”? Some of you will say, “No.” But even in the act of declining the label “strong” you are crediting yourself with the ‘strength’ of being humble enough to resist the temptation to boast in your strength.

Today I was wondering, “Why do the people in Nineveh involve the beasts, herds, and flocks in their fasting and donning sackcloth?” I discovered that it is because non-human creation is the exemplar of worship.

The Daniel Deal

So you’ve got all these sensible friends who think you’re crazy. You don’t really talk about it openly, but everyone’s aware of the fact that you have an invisible Friend.
