Luke 23-24…

The Gospel Luke ends with the most important events in all of human history (the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus). We spend a lot of time talking about the cross (and rightly so) but in this last post before we move to the book of Acts (really the Gospel of Luke, Volume 2) I [...]

Luke 20-22…

Two glimpses into the mind of God in today’s passage… God’s opinion of those who sacrifice to and for Him (21:1-4) A life lived in subjection to God (22:42ff) God’s opinion of those who sacrifice to and for Him (21:1-4) This story is so short and yet so powerful. Listen to it: “As Jesus looked [...]

Luke 16-19…

Just a couple of things as usual for today. Here they are. Dealing with someone who sins against you (17:3-4) TRUE Humility before God (18:9-14) The Purpose of “God’s House” (19:45-48) Dealing with someone who sins against you (17:3-4) First things first. We need to make sure that we do things (especially in this area) [...]

Luke 13-15…

The Gospel of Luke presents a lot of challenges to those who read it. Some of the challenges come in trying to understand what Luke is trying to tell us about Jesus and His kingdom. Other challenges come from the things that must change in our lives based on what God’s Word deals with in [...]

Luke 11-12…

Just a couple of brief comments on this reading. Perhaps some things that you might see in yourself (I do or have seen these in my life at some time) that we need to be aware of and guard against. Here goes. “Getting in the way” of God and His work (11:37-54) Making MY plans [...]

Luke 8-10…

So yesterday was a little hectic (and my Sunday nap accidentally went a little longer than usual) so here is my regretfully tardy post about Sunday’s reading in the Gospel of Luke. A couple of things that struck me during this reading are as follows… The reason that Jesus speaks in parables and its true [...]

Luke 6-7…

It is now one minute into Saturday and I think an appropriate time to record some thoughts about today’s readings. There is so much that I could (and would love) to talk about here. You have the “Sermon on the Plain”, the healing of the widow’s son (which must have been quite a sight), and [...]

Luke 3-5…

I just want to start out today by saying how awesome I think the Bible is. There is so much material that deserves our utmost attention and I find it so hard just to say a “few” things about what I am reading. God is good to us. A lifetime of learning and digging in [...]

Luke 1-2…

As I read this passage this morning I was struck by a couple of things… The powerful statements and praises that are made in the songs of Mary and Zechariah that we often don’t talk about. That often times I think we miss the point of the message of the angels in 2:14. Let me [...]

Understanding God’s Word…

A part of encountering Jesus and understanding His Word is reading it and learning more about who He is and what He expects from us as Christians. Therefore, we are going to begin to learn more about what God has for us by reading the books of Luke and Acts before Christmas. Everyday (or early [...]
