Read John 5:31-40.
In Biblical times, it was custom to have two or three witnesses to establish the truth. Well, Jesus gave us four witnesses. Jesus never ran around saying, “Hey everyone I am the Savior of the world.” He didn’t say, “I am God so you’d better listen to me.” Instead, He relied on four [...]

When I was reading Genesis 31, verse 16 stuck out like a neon sign. Jacob’s wives Leah and Rachel said, “Whatever God has said to you, do it.” It’s not clear whether either of them really believed in God or not. Jacob was the one who seemed to hear from God.
As I pondered [...]

Is God your first priority? Is He your daily passion?
Well, He is if we are diligent in seeking Him. Deuteronomy 4:29 NKJV says “But from there you will seek the LORD your God, and you will find Him if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul.”
So what keeps us [...]

Contentment is such a pleasant sounding word. It conjures pictures of green meadows, trickling stream, peacefulness, and calm serenity. Contentment is a place where all your needs are cared for. It sounds like fantasy doesn’t it? Is this for real?
I’m here to tell you “yes, contentment is real and it’s possible”. The apostle Paul talked [...]

You have no doubt heard the saying “opposites attract”, but I doubt you have heard it in this context before.
Throughout the New Testament we are taught by Jesus and his disciples to live differently.
Don’t hold grudges but forgive (Matthew 18:21)
Love your enemies (Matthew 5:42-44)

Read John 12:9-11
Many Jews started believing in Jesus when they witnessed Lazarus being raised from the dead. Each one of us is like Lazarus. We were raised from the dead as soon as we believed in Jesus Christ.
Following Christ has its cost. Look at verse 10. The chief priests wanted to [...]

The other day while working during the lunch period, a co-worker asked if I would answer a few questions. “Of course”, I replied, “happy to help if I can.”
A stranger steps into my work area asking me questions which seemed rather difficult to answer on the spot. But the worst part was they were video [...]

Read John 12:4-8
Earlier Mary had lavished expensive perfume on Jesus’ feet as a sign of worship. Mary had done a beautiful thing for the Lord. She expressed her appreciation for Jesus through humility, sacrifice and submission to Jesus’ authority.
But Judas, one of the twelve disciples Jesus picked, was indignant saying the fragrance could have [...]

In today’s reading we see Lazarus, Martha, Mary and Jesus are gathered together again. They made Him supper and served Him, in various [...]

Read John 11.
Previously in Luke 10:38-42 Martha was distracted by all the work to be done and Mary sat at Jesus’ feet taking in every word. Now, after her brother Lazarus has died, she is the first to go to Jesus.
What’s the big deal you ask? Well, think about this, Mary was the one hanging [...]
