Tears of Sorrow

Luke 13:22 Then Jesus went through the towns and villages, teaching as he made his way to Jerusalem. 23 Someone asked him, “Lord, are only a few people going to be saved?” He said to them, 24 “Make every effort to enter through the narrow door, because many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able to. 25 Once the owner of the house gets up and closes the door, you will stand outside knocking and pleading, ‘Sir, open the door for us.’ “But he will answer, ‘I don’t know you or where you come from.’ 26 “Then you will say, ‘We ate and drank with you, and you taught in our streets.’  27 “But he will reply, ‘I don’t know you or where you come from. Away from me, all you evildoers!’  28 “There will be weeping there, and gnashing of teeth, when you see Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, but you yourselves thrown out. 29 People will come from east and west and north and south, and will take their places at the feast in the kingdom of God. 3...

Mustard Seed Faith

Image
Matthew 17:19-20 English Standard Version (ESV) 19 Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, “Why could we not cast it out?” 20 He said to them, “Because of your little faith. For truly, I say to you, if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you.” Ever see a mustard seed? Pretty small huh?  Based on that, what Jesus said, and my own experience, I too have very little faith. Much smaller than that.  I was thinking about it today though. I really do not desire the power that can be misinterpreted from this passage.  I am too selfish and evil to wield that kind of power. It scares the Hell in me! God knows this as well.  Here is what I do desire: I want the confidence that comes with true faith. Faith the size of a mustard seed. I have always battled with self-confidence. All my life.  (OK.  Those who know me close your...

Hard Walks

Yesterday I walked down a path with a family hat I thought I would not have to walk again.  Last year a 17 year old boy in our church was in an accident skateboarding.  His brain injuries were severe.  He has been in the hospital on life support since.  He looked like he was starting to improve but in August he had a Grand Mal seizure and after brain scans, MRI's etc., he was determined to be of no hope of recovery and that he was essentially going to have more seizures until it killed him.  This poor family had to face the choice that we had to face 4 years ago.  They chose to remove life support and allow him to go home to God.  Corinne and I spent yesterday with the family as their son, brother, cousin died.  It took a while. My heart was breaking for our friends as we stood with them, prayed with them, and comforted them as they walked this hard road. I don't know why I am posting this except that today I am numb. I don't need comforting....
