Increase Our Faith!
In Luke 17, the Lord asked His disciples to do something that is evidently so challenging and daunting that they cry out, “Increase our faith!” (Luke 17:5) What did He ask them to do? What did He require of them that was so difficult? There are several ideas to consider: (1) Don’t be a stumbling …
Who Is Jesus?
Divine names are extremely significant and packed full of meaning. Men like Abraham, Jacob, Moses, and David received a progressive revelation of the character of God by means of those names. B. F. Westcott once wrote: “Each name authoritatively given to God is, so to speak, a fresh and lasting revelation of his nature. Now …
Planting Seeds
I’m no poet, but I certainly appreciate those who can create thought-provoking and vivid images with the words that they write. I came across an ever-so-brief poem recently that has made quite an impression on me.

The Importance of Integrity
As part of the Bible class curriculum here at South Green Street, our kids memorize “themes” for each book of the Bible. Recently, Jake was reviewing his memory work and noted that “integrity” is the theme for the book of Daniel. I asked him if he knew what it meant to be a man of …
Right Here, Right Now

While this past weekend was celebrated with parties, get-togethers, and time off from work, there was one newsworthy event that stood out. It is more than a mere “sports story.” It is a human story that serves as a …
Spiritual Bucket List
Creating the proverbial “bucket list” can be a lot of fun. Coming up with a list of things you would like to do one day in the not-too-distant future is also a good way to take the first step in accomplishing your goals. As disciples of Jesus Christ, we are expected to be growing (1 …
23,000 Breaths
Let everything that has breath praise the Lord! Praise the Lord! (Psalm 150:6) One of the good things about the Thanksgiving holiday is that we are “forced” to stop our busy, self-centered lives and count our blessings. It is so easy to take our blessings for granted! I was recently reminded of how our loving and …
Look Up!
I believe that it is safe to say that the most famous ceiling in the whole world is the Sistine Chapel which is in the Vatican in Rome. This ceiling is famous because it was brilliantly designed and masterfully painted by Michelangelo. Among other things, he painted scenes depicting Bible history as recorded in the …
Who is to Judge
Who gets to decide what is right and what is wrong? Why are some actions considered right while other actions are considered wrong? Who or what is the standard of judgment? I am not the standard of judgment—My clear conscience does not mean that I am innocent. Paul said, “I am not aware of anything …
