  • Day 304: Son of Trash, Son of Treasure (Mark 10:46-51)

    46 And they came to Jericho. And as he was leaving Jericho with his disciples and a great crowd, Bartimaeus, a blind beggar, the son of Timaeus, was sitting by the roadside. Mark 10:46 Through the Bible: Matthew 19, Mark 10 Matthew 20:29-34 and Mark 10:46-51 both record Jesus healing the blind at Jericho. In…

  • Church and State (Romans 13:1-7)

    October 30, 2022, Glynwood Baptist Church, Prattville Good morning. Please turn in your Bibles to the book of Romans, chapter 13. I hope you’ve enjoyed this journey through Romans as much as I have. We’re in Romans chapter 13. And once again, God’s timing is just so perfect. Remember how it “just so happened” that…

  • Day 303: When You Stand by Yourself at Church (Luke 18)

    11 The Pharisee, standing by himself, prayed thus: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector. 12 I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I get.’ 13 But the tax collector, standing far off, would not even lift up…

  • Day 302: The Other Time Jesus Got Mad (John 11)

    33 When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come with her also weeping, he was deeply moved[e] in his spirit and greatly troubled (John 11:33). 38 Then Jesus, deeply moved again, came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone lay against it (John 11:38). If you ask Bible readers…

  • Day 301 (Again): What We Learn From Not Understanding (Luke 16:1-10)

    I wanted to write about the Parable of the Dishonest Manager. To me, it is the most confusing of all Jesus’ parables. So I figured I would write about it and find some brilliant insight that would make people say, “I’ve never thought about it that way! Thank you!” So I read, and re-read, and…

  • Day 300: What Does “Prodigal” Actually Mean? (Luke 14-15)

    22 But the father said to his servants, ‘Bring quickly the best robe, and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet. 23 And bring the fattened calf and kill it, and let us eat and celebrate. 24 For this my son was dead, and is alive…

  • Day 299: What did Jesus Mean About Leaven in Luke 13:21?

    “And again he said, “To what shall I compare the kingdom of God? It is like leaven that a woman took and hid in three measures of flour, until it was all leavened.””‭‭Luke‬ ‭13‬:‭20‬-‭21‬ ‭ESV‬‬ Through the Bible: Luke 12-13 One of the stranger parables of Jesus is in Luke 13:20-21. On the surface, it…

  • Day 298: Seventy Two Others (Luke 10)

    After this the Lord appointed seventy-two others and sent them on ahead of him, two by two, into every town and place where he himself was about to go. Luke 10:1 In today’s podcast, Tara-Leigh talks about the debate over whether this account of Jesus sending out the seventy-two is the same story or a different story…

  • On One Thousand Views

    This week, my blog hit a couple of milestones. Earlier this week, it surpassed 50,000 views. According to the WordPress stats page, people from over 130 countries have clicked on at least one blog post. The blog has been around since 2017, but it wasn’t until this year that I began posting nearly every day,…

  • The Love Manifesto, Part 2: Love on the Outside (Romans 12:14-21)

    I heard a story about two little boys—little third graders, playing on the playground during recess. So there they are, playing with their trucks in the sandbox, or whatever, when the prettiest girl in third grade walked past them. The two little boys watched her walk past, and one boy turned to his friend and…
