“No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money. “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, […]

Daily Bible Reading: John 8:37-59
This sounds like a lot of argument with my 3/4 yo. A lot of repeating myself and then constantly not hearing a word I’m actually say. And in the end they just get mad and throw stuff. You are doing the works your father did.” They said to him, “We were not born of sexual […]
Daily Bible Reading: John 3:22-36
Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.John 3:36 ESV https://bible.com/bible/59/jhn.3.36.ESV V 36 really stood out to me today. When people ask how can a good God send people to hell. they are mentioning that at death […]
Daily Bible Reading: John 2
Jesus also was invited to the wedding with his disciples.John 2:2 ESVhttps://bible.com/bible/59/jhn.2.2.ESV I’m kind of curious at this point how many disciples he has? So the very beginning of his career and I don’t think he’s gathered the core 12 but he does have a following. Maybe 5 maybe 20 extra people. Not sure about […]
Daily Bible Reading: John 1:1-28
Fascinating video. The Bible Project always says great stuff. I did not realize that there was a debate over which John wrote the book. Though sadly growing up I didn’t realize there was even more than one John. Every other story book every character has a distinct name so as not to confuse anyone. Yet […]
Daily Bible Reading: Luke 24:36-53
I love this, because it shows another little insight into what the afterlife will be like in our new bodies. Well it’s unclear if we will need to eat (is hunger part of the fall?), It is clear that we will be physically resurrected and that heaven is a physical place. We won’t be floating […]
Daily Bible Reading: Luke 22:54-71
It’s a scary thought for Peter that Jesus had said If you deny me I will deny you (Matt1033). Yet it does not end here, this is just the turning point for Peter I think. Sure he doesn’t go full zealot until later. But this is a crucial moment in his life, he’s picked to […]
Daily Bible Reading: Luke 22:31-53
V.31-34 he talks to Simon Peter like a child here. Peter’s not ready yet to go to prison in to death, in Jesus can see that but he has to tell him something give him the courage to do it later. It’s apparent you can see that in a child you tell them this is […]
Daily Bible Reading: Luke 22:1-30
So next things going on on this passage. V.2 they wanted to kill Jesus, but feared the people. They are leaders with no power or authority. Like modern time politicians, they change their tune every time the masses want x, y or z. The sadly our politicians are supposed to represent the people, but they […]
Daily Bible Reading: Luke 21:20-38
Again it’s the last couple of verses in this passage that speak to me. Here he is preaching death and destruction and yet (v 38) “early in the morning all the people came to him in the temple to hear him.” The people didn’t shy away when he started preaching scary stuff. Sometimes we need […]
