The Political Climate in Jesus’ Time

    At the time of Jesus' baptism, a contrast existed, just as it does today, between what people thought of Jesus and what God thought. Coming from Nazareth, there was a question that followed Jesus all of his life, “Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?” This was certainly not the most "promising identity"[i] for one with such a monumental task ahead of him, but the Father had already openly identified...

And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.

If you do this, the LORD will be your delight. I will give you great honor and give you your full share of the inheritance I promised to Jacob, your ancestor. I, the LORD, have spoken!"

Sleeping in Harvest!

He who gathers crops in summer is a wise son, but he who sleeps during harvest is a disgraceful son. Prov. 10:5 I have heard my wise daddy say for years, “Son you gotta make hay while the sun is shining!” I am sure that wise saying didn’t produce the “pep in my step” at that time that he desired, but now I am starting to get the picture! As you well know, that the sun can be shining at the moment, but at the same time,...
