A Perverse Generation, Lk 9:41
When Jesus and Peter, James, and John came down from the mount of transfiguration, a man with a possessed son cried out to Jesus because his disciples could not cast the spirit out of his son. In Lk 9:41 Jesus said, “O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you, and suffer […]
Onesimus
In Phile 10-19 we see a great testimony of Onesimus’s salvation and Paul’s wonderful care for him. Onesimus was the servant of Philemon, who evidently departed from him under adverse circumstances. He left with a bad testimony as an unprofitable servant who was also indeted to his master. Onesimus didn’t meet Paul in bonds because […]

Christian Resources, Lk 24:49
When you listen to Christian radio today, you keep hearing the word “resources” referring to books, CD’s, DVD’s, etc. that are offered to the listeners at a price. I have often thought to myself, “Where were all these Christian resources after Jesus ascended into heaven?” If these things are so essential to your spiritual growth […]
Deliver Us Only, Jud 10:6-16
When Israel finally had enough of the oppression from their enemies, they cried to God and said, Deliver us only, we pray thee, this day. Their desperate cry to the Lord to deliver them is so typical of sinners caught in sin. They’re not so interested in quitting their sin and returning to the Lord. […]
