Ancient Paths in a Modern World

"Stand by the roads, and look, and ask for the ancient paths, where the good way is; and walk in it, and find rest for your souls." 

  • Gospel of Love 10 of 21

    In this passage Jesus depicts Himself as the Good Shepard, a term and a reference that would carry such significance that we are still unpacking it today finding great insight and beauty in it. As He reveals some of the dynamics of Himself He is challenged by His opposition, a trend that seems to be… Read more

    “To the untrained eye ego-climbing and selfless climbing may appear identical. Both kind of climbers place one foot in front of the other. Both breathe in and out at the same rate. Both stop when tired. Both go forward when rested. But what a difference! The ego-climber is like an instrument that is out of… Read more

  • Gospel of Love 9 of 21

    Chapter 9 Tells the story of the man blind from birth whom Jesus healed. Becoming a controversy amongst the religious and those who were relatives of the formerly blind man, because it was on a Sabbath that the man was healed and the religious had made a pact that anyone who accepted Jesus as the… Read more

    To be honest… …it’s like I’ve been on a vacation for the last 10 years. My prior life had no purpose and little hope. Then I chose to dive headlong out of my old life and into the life of Christ. God met my act of faith with the reward of a new life- adventurous… Read more

  • Gospel of Love 6.5 of 21

    These passage from John 6:26-71 is so very profound I almost sweat at the challenge of writing about them. For the most part each word and verse are so very profound that my interpretation or opinion about them is bound to be short sighted. With that being said, I highly recommend you read them for… Read more

  • The Simple Truth

     that we don’t hear at church each week, but we probably need to hear each week is…. We must lay down our lives to have the life of Christ. Either we try, to no avail, to live righteously and find joy. OR we give up our lives to God and let Jesus live in and… Read more

  • Gospel of Love 6 of 21

    This chapter is so big we’re gunna do two parts with this one. The first part we’re gunna cover is John 6:1-25.  In this part there are two sections. The first section documents a large crowd following Jesus because of all the miracles He performed. When all these people were sitting together Jesus asks Phillip, “Where… Read more
