Are You greater than our father Abraham who died? Even the prophets died. Who do You pretend to be?” “If I glorify Myself,” Jesus answered, “My glory is nothing.

Evil Isolation – Galatians 4:17
They are enthusiastic about you, but not for any good. Instead, they want to isolate you so you will be enthusiastic about them.

You can talk about God. You can discuss Allah. You can refer to religion in the workplace. These are all … Continue reading Acknowledging Jesus – John 7:13
All and Never – John 6:37-40
All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never cast out. For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will but the will of him who sent me. And this is the will of him who sent me, that I should lose … Continue reading All and Never – John 6:37-40
Hungry Hungry Hippos – John 6:26-27
Jesus answered, “ I assure you: You are looking for Me, not because you saw the signs, but because you ate the loaves and were filled. Don’t work for the food that perishes but for the food that lasts for eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you, because God the Father has … Continue reading Hungry Hungry Hippos – John 6:26-27
