Passing It On

Before Jesus ascended to heaven, he passed his ministry on to the church. You know the Great Commission, but what about the commission Jesus gave in Mark? Each Gospel writer records a time when Jesus passed his ministry on to his followers, and each commissioning gives a different aspect of what the mission of the church is in the world.

Risen... Just As He Said

God has revealed the miraculous to us, but we don't recognize God's work around us all the time. I wonder if we are too quick to give coincidence and other "alternate explanations" too much credit for the work of God. Because of that, when we consider the unmistakably miraculous promises of God, we have trouble receiving what God has revealed to us... just like the disciples who had lost hope after the cross.

Friday to Sunday

On Friday...
... lies, deceit, oppression, and hate prevailed
... cruelty, emptiness, and death reigned
... hell came to earth and God fell silent

And we live in a "Friday" world.
