“Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest!” John 4:35 God wants us to share His love and truth with others, but sometimes we get hung up. What do I say? Where do I begin? Jesus had been speaking to a sinful, […]

Jesus answered and said to her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, ‘Give Me a drink,’ you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water.” John 4:10 So many people today are weary and miserable. If they only knew the gift that […]

“He must increase, but I must decrease.” John 3:30 Many Christians today are so indoctrinated by the philosophy of the world that we tend to forget what discipleship is all about. We start thinking that things are all about us, and we find it quite strange that the Lord would require any sort of sacrifice […]

“He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.” John 3:18 God doesn’t look at sinners the way we sometimes do: How disgusting! What a sinner! They ought to put that guy […]

John 3:9-17 Do you ever feel as if God couldn’t possibly love you? Maybe you think you’re too messed up, that you could never get into the Lord’s good graces.

Sooner or later, if we don’t clean up the clutter in our lives, God will deal with it. After the wedding in Cana, Jesus and His disciples headed back to Jerusalem for the Passover. But when they […]

John 2:1-11 God is so often misrepresented. When Jesus came, this was happening in the extreme. The religious leaders, intent on their own agenda, were burdening people with guilt and condemnation, making God out to be angry with them. But that is not at all the picture of God that Jesus revealed. In Jesus’ day […]

“She will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.” … All this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying: “Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they […]

John 1:35-51 When you hear the word “Christian,” what do you think of? Many people today don’t have the slightest idea what it means to be a Christian.
