An Introduction to the Gospel of Matthew
Matthew 9:9-13; 10:1-4 9 As Jesus passed on from there, he saw a man called Matthew sitting at the tax booth, and he said to him, “Follow me.” And he rose and followed him. 10 And as Jesus reclined at table in the house, behold, many tax collectors and sinners came and were reclining with Jesus and his disciples. 11 And when the Pharisees saw this, they said to his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?” 12 But when he heard it, he said, “Those who are well have…
Praise the Lord Who Does and Delights
Psalm 147 1 Praise the Lord!For it is good to sing praises to our God; for it is pleasant, and a song of praise is fitting.2 The Lord builds up Jerusalem; he gathers the outcasts of Israel.3 He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.4 He determines the number of the stars; he gives to all of them their names.5 Great is our Lord, and abundant in power; his understanding is beyond measure.6 The Lord lifts up the humble; he casts the wicked to the ground. 7 Sing to the Lord with thanksgiving; make melody to our God on the lyre!8 He covers the heavens with clouds; he prepares rain for the earth; he makes grass…
Bless the Lord, O My Soul
Psalm 104 1Bless the Lord, O my soul! O Lord my God, you are very great!You are clothed with splendor and majesty,2covering yourself with light as with a garment, stretching out the heavens like a tent.3 He lays the beams of his chambers on the waters;he makes the clouds his chariot; he rides on the wings of the wind;4 he makes his messengers winds, his ministers a flaming fire. 5 He set the earth on its foundations, so that it should never be moved.6 You covered it with the deep as with a garment; the waters stood above the mountains.7 At your rebuke they fled; at the sound…

Bible Reading Plans
In the Bible’s most extended mediation on the benefits of reading and meditating on God’s word, Psalm 119, the psalmist writes, “Open my eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of your law” (v.18). The assumption is that there are wonderful things to be seen in God’s word. Thus, if wonders are to be seen and beheld, then one be in God’s word. There’s no better way to be in God’s word than having a plan to do so.…
Peace is Not Found in Princes or Presidents
The calls and texts over the past few days, have stirred my heart. Election stress. Vote counting chaos. It appears that for many there is a tsunami of despair about to sweep us away. Are we really approaching “the end of democracy,” as so many national headlines proclaim? If one fills one’s mind with cable news, one will certainly be unable to sleep at night. I invite you to fill your heart and mind with the eternal words of God…
Is There Hope for the Future?
As I watch the world, sometimes I wonder if it will survive. The stress points of society seem to continue to increase. The virus was stressful enough by itself. Then came the financial fallout as a result. These were uncharted waters; a global pandemic and a recession worse than 1929. Then the little boat of our country was pummeled by hurricane Racism. We reeled in its terrible winds. It seems to me that one more national crisis will be the…
