What was it like to parent Jesus? (Matthew 2; Luke 2:39-52)
I sometimes wonder what it must have been like to parent Jesus. He was fully human, yet he was also fully God. That means he didn't make mistakes. As his parents it would probably have been frustrating to realize that every argument was going to end up with you being wrong. When Jesus didn't head home with his family after their visit at ...

A Savior for the rest of us (Matthew 1; Luke 2:1-38)
Isn't it funny that the shepherd's were the first to be made aware of Jesus' birth? If the Savior was coming to the world, wouldn't you notify the important people? Shepherds in this day were considered some of the lowest is society. They were considered dirty and ceremonially unclean. Why did the angels go to them first? ... [Continue Reading]
In the beginning (Luke 1; John 1:1-14)
After 400 years of silence, God finally spoke. I love the opening words of John 1:1, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." This Jesus who is about the enter the stage of world history wasn't anyone new; His existence was from the start. How is that possible? Because He's God. ... [Continue Reading]

Israel ‘ s sin (Malachi)
Malachi is a really fascinating book to me because it is God's final words to Israel before 400 years of silence. What was God's frustration with His people this time? One thing was their offerings to him at the temple. Apparently the Israelites began offering God animals that were lame or sick rather than animals that were healthy. ... [Continue Reading]
Almost doing what God wants (Nehemiah 10:28-39; 11:1-2; 12:27-47; 13
It strikes me as strange that, after re-reading the Law and repenting of their sin, the Israelites went back to some of their old habits. Nehemiah stepped back in to remind them that almost doing what God wants is the same as not doing what God wants. This is something that scares me in our modern culture because we live in a day and age where we can pick ... [Continue Reading]
Restarting the foundation (Nehemiah 7:1-5, 66-73; 8-9)
When the rebuilding of the walls was complete, Nehemiah started the Israelites back on the path that they had veered from. With the reading of the Law by Ezra, the people were reminded where they came from, how they got off track, and how God had faithfully been there through it all. It was time, however, to do things differently and to recommit to living the ... [Continue Reading]
There ‘ s always a critic (Nehemiah 4-6)
I have really come to believe that leaders who do what God wants them to do will face opposition from someone. Even more, I believe that if a leader doesn't face opposition, then he should ask himself if he's really leading the way God wants. Nehemiah faced critics in the wall rebuilding process, and they were pretty harsh opponents. He had a ... [Continue Reading]
