Psalm 1 - The Choice Is Yours

Covered In the Dust of Your Rabbi

A Jewish Blessing - "May you be covered in the dust of your Rabbi". Jesus chose His disciples, and they were not - nor are they today - the cream of the crop. Mary, not a traditional disciple, offers insight into how a follower of Jesus follows.

Psalm 1 - The Choice Is Yours

It's no mistake that Psalm 1 was selected to kick off the poems, worship, and the wisdom of those who learned that God often presents His children with a choice: to follow Him or not.

Don't Drift

What is the Gospel, and is there a danger in drifting away from and losing it completely in our lives, homes, churches, communities, and ultimately our country? The Apostle Paul reminds us what the Gospel is and the real danger of completely losing it.

Best Seats In the House

When it comes to a man's walk with Jesus, the best seat in the house will be that of a servant. Jesus modeled this for us in His life and ministry. Mark records that Jesus, "Came not to be served but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many" (Mark 10:45). If we want the best view in the Christian life, we must be servants.

Called Up

Joseph, the chosen earthly father of Jesus, was "called up" by God to the impossible task of raising the Son of God. Recognizing this divine calling can inspire you to see your own role as part of God's greater plan. What was it about Joseph that drew God's attention and favor, leading Him to call him to this remarkable role in human history? Does God still call men up? If so, what is His criteria for such privilege?
