Psalm: 118 Meditation 1 Thessalonians: It may come as no surprise the 1 Thessalonians discusses the second coming of Jesus. What will surprise is that we won’t be looking at that feature today. Paul talks of being maltreated in Philippi – sure he was cast into jail, but in reading his letter to them he …

Psalm: 129, 130 Meditation Luke: It seems that Jesus liked to keep the chief priests and teachers of the Law on their toes. The ask Jesus a question and He retorts with a question of His own: “John’s baptism – as it from heaven, or from men?” (v. 3.)The priests’ and teachers’ reasoning is good …

Listen.  James tells us that the prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective (James 5:16). Elijah is our example of the powerful prayers of righteous person (James 5:17-18; check out also 1 Kings 17-18).

Psalm: 143 Meditation Isaiah: I guess Isaiah didn’t mince words nor was he politically correct. He is telling us even oxen and donkeys know where “their bread is buttered”.

Psalm: 144 Meditation Philippians: An exhortation to meekness and humility (and that by example). Since I am not all that familiar with humility I can use all the help I can get.

Psalm: 110, 113 Meditation Luke: When Roman generals were given a “triumph”. (A very rare celebration in Rome, but nicely depicted in Ben Hur) Said hero would be led astride a white horse much like the victorious Christ in Revelation 19:11.
