The Greatest of These . . .

886) In my language arts classroom, every Monday we study the lyrics of four songs as we listen to parts of each one. We look at figures of speech that may be present; we discuss the author’s purpose, as we see it, and just plain appreciate the beauty that words and music can form together.

Spitting Image

885) There is a conversation that takes place in Mark 12:13-17 that caught my eye. Here we read that the “religious” leaders in Jesus’ day were trying to trap Him, so they ask Him a question that either way would make Jesus look guilty. They ask Him if they should pay taxes to Rome. If

Prayer Considered

884) I must confess that I have hesitated in writing about the topic of praying for specific things. I think it’s because sometimes I ask God for something and He grants it and there are other times (and it seems like many to me) when I ask God, and He answers no or, “worse yet,”

The Gift of Love

883) As a teacher of many years, it’s hard to hold back my reaction to some of my students’ boastful statements. I know they’re young so I expect this but I have found I’ve needed to be careful in my reaction to them. In Mark 10:17-31, an “educated” man, who was very wealthy, came to

Salt or Vinegar

882) There is a trend of selling snacks with limited salt. This is because we know that too much of it is not good for your body. Thinking about this, I started “tasting” in my mind my favorite snack, popcorn, without salt. Yuck! To think of eating popcorn without it takes away most of the

Expensive Delivery

881) With the way things are going these days, if you can purchase something online, having free delivery is a good deal. Some things, however, are very expensive to have delivered. Since I live in Maine, I know you can have fresh lobster delivered anywhere in the world but the expense will be high. In

I Believe; Help My Unbelief

880) I have read Mark 9:24 many times and as I look at it, it seems it contradicts itself. First, I read- “I believe,” it is a statement of faith. But when I read, “help my unbelief,” that’s where it gets confusing. In thinking about this verse, I wonder if it’s easier to think of

Don’t Be Afraid

879) Whenever I think of God, I have this image of a mighty whirlwind. Someone who is big, powerful and authoritative. These things may be true and because of my image, there’s a part of me that feels like if I encountered God, I would be terrified. In Mark 6:45-56, the disciples were in a

I’m Gonna Tell

878) If you grew up with siblings or around kids in the neighborhood, I’m sure you heard the words, “I’m gonna tell” many times. What did this message mean? It meant that someone saw something you did wrong, and they were eager to report you to your parents or whoever was in charge at the

A Lamp’s Purpose

877) Here in Maine, it gets dark early in the winter. The first winter I lived here, I could not believe how many hours of darkness there are. So, what do you do in the winter in Maine? You keep some lights on in the house. If not, it can get rather gloomy. Jesus tells
