The Cross (31)
  1. Whether she realized it or not, this Egyptian woman was at war with the Lord of Israel. Her will was pitted against His will. Her desires were battling God’s desires. Joseph was caught in the crossfire.
  2. Jesus was not killed in Bethlehem as a baby, or in Galilee or Samaria as an adult. He couldn’t be, for it was necessary for him to die in Jerusalem, where Moriah is.
  3. In front of us, in the past, is the hill upon which God has already defeated every foe we might face. On that bloody beam the heel of Christ crushed the head of the lying serpent.
  4. The more law-centered a church becomes, the more it and the world become kissing cousins.
  5. And there was heard, all round the world, the boom of a pounding hammer. And there resounded, all around the world, the cry of a righteous man who prayed for an unrighteous world.
  6. Poor Samson, he always seems to make the list of bad role models in the Bible. He’s put out there as the ripped hippie who whacked Philistines, chased skirts, got his head shaved, and eventually got himself killed.
  7. Scattered throughout all denominations are moms and dads whose greatest disappointment in life is that their children have seemingly abandoned the faith.
  8. O little flock, fear not the foe, for at your head is the Good Shepherd who lays down His life for you.
  9. From creator to priest, our God now moves, from forming animals to slaying them, all so that His Adam and His Eve might remain truly His.
  10. That all being said, come to think of it, I’ve never gone 24 seconds without sinning.
  11. Whatever numbers you want to plug in, ours must be greater than zero. We’re in a partnership with God, after all. We both do our part. We’ve got to meet the Lord halfway. If only he does all the giving, and we do all the receiving, the relationship is doomed to fail.
  12. Have we made Christianity too easy? No, God has made Christianity “too easy” because He has made it pure gift.
