The last hours of Jesus’ life before His death likely found Him on His knees often. While most of these situations do not mention Him being on His knees, it seems logical that He would be. #1 The first time we see Him on His knees is when He did so to wash the... Continue Reading →
Horrible Abuse
On “Good Friday” a number of us watched a movie of brutality, blood, pain, loss and death. It was a hard watch (I do not watch boxing, martial arts, cage fighting or the like for the sheer magnitude of brutality). We watched boxing matches with men beating on the other inflicting great suffering and even death.... Continue Reading →
Broken Bread
I Corinthians 11:23-25, For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you: that the Lord Jesus on the same night in which He was betrayed took bread; an when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, “Take, eat; this is My body which is broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me.” In the same manner He also took the cup after supper,...

Jesus Crucified on Thursday
It has been my position for years now that Jesus died on Thursday and was raised on Sunday of that week some 2,000 years ago. Here is a run through the Scriptures that cause such a belief: John 12:1-11, Jesus came to Bethany just outside of Jerusalem six days before Passover. Due to Sabbath travel restrictions, it...

Talk Christ!
Colossians 1:25-26, …according to the stewardship from God which was given to me for you, to fulfill the word of God, the mystery which has been hidden from ages and from generations, but now has been revealed to His saints. I Corinthians 2:7, …we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery… had they known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.... Continue Reading →
I Wanna Cry
The murder of three children and three adults in Nashville this past week is yet another horrible chapter in America's social history. The transgender shooter was being counseled by a pastor of the church and in the shooter's spree, he killed the pastor's daughter. How terrible! Yet the common narrative is that the shooter was...

God Is Here
From the men’s study this morning: Zephaniah 3:5, The Lord is righteous in her midst, He will do no unrighteousness. Every morning He brings His justice to light; He never fails, In context: 3:1, Woe to her who is rebellious and polluted, to the oppressing city! And 3:5b, But the unjust (unrighteous) knows no shame. 3:5, NIV The Lord within her is righteous; he... Continue Reading →
Crazy Days
Israel is in a bad spot. First is the push by Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to change the judiciary system of appointments. Traditionally it has been the court itself that fills its own vacancies and fills lower courts openings. Netanyahu wants the legislature to have that duty as is done in the United States. The...

Conversion Bill
The Nebraska Unicameral (actually I think a bicameral would serve us better – a subject for another time) is haggling over a proposed law that would restrict puberty blockers and hormone therapy and ban gender-altering surgery until age 19 (LB 574). The gist of the proposed legislation is that a child should be hindered from... Continue Reading →
