Mark 10:45 ’For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.’
MARK 10:45
Jesus told His disciples many times of His death but this is the first time He indicated the reason for His death. Now it is clear that His death would be a ’ransom’, defined in the Greek as a means of loosing by paying a price.
The words ’ransom’ and ’redeem’ were used interchangeably in scripture.
Not only would Jesus pay the price for sin but also His death would be substitutionary.
In 1 Timothy 2:6, the word ’ransom’ is t ... read more Trust In Jesus As Your Savior 5 y

Matthew 19:16 ’And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?’
MATTHEW 19:12-20
On the surface, it appears that this rich young ruler was ’right on’ in the way he approached Jesus and sought salvation. He ran, keeled down to Jesus, and openly professed Him as a Good Master. What could be wrong with that?
> First, he acknowledged Jesus as good but not as God. This is a pivotal point.

Marriage Is A Covenant
August 20th
Matthew 19:9 ’And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committees adultery: and whoso marries her which is put away does commit adultery.’
MATTHEW 19:7-9
Although adultery denotes one who has unlawful intercourse with the spouse of another, in its much broader term, it means to violate or pollute. Israel violated or polluted their covenant with God. Jeremiah says, ’She (Judah) defiled the land, and committed adultery’ (Jer. 3:9).

** In recent decades we as a society have been conducting a play-deprivation experiment with our children. Today’s children are not absolutely deprived of play as the rats and monkeys are in the animal experiments, but they are much more deprived than children were 60 years ago and much, much more than children were in hunter-gatherer societies. The results, I think, are in. Play deprivation is bad for children. Among other things, it promotes anxiety, depression, suicide, narcissism, and loss of creativity.
It’s time to end the experiment. **
The Play Deficit
Children today are cossetted and pressured in equal measure. Without the freedom to play, they will never really grow up completely.

When I was a child in the 1950s, my friends and I had two educations. We had school (which was not the big deal it is today), and we also had what I call a hunter-gather education.
We played in mixed-age neighborhood groups almost every day after school, often until dark. We played all weekend and all summer long. We had time to explore in all sorts of ways, and also time to become bored and figure out how to over ... read more God Answers Prayer Give it a try 5 y

Ten Lepers Cleansed
11 Now it happened as He went to Jerusalem that He passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.
12 Then as He entered a certain village, there met Him ten men who were lepers, who stood afar off.

Groaning In The Spirit
August 12th
John 11:33 ’When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled.’
JOHN 11:33
The Greek word that is translated ’groaned’ expresses that Jesus was deeply moved, but not necessarily with sorrow. It was more a groan of anger at Satan who had caused all the grief Jesus was seeing around Him. Jesus came to ’destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil’ (Heb. 2:14), and He was grieved to see the pain that His enemy had inflicted upon those He loved.

John 11:14 ’Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead.’
Jesus spoke of Lazarus being asleep instead of dead because that is really a much better description. Death, to their carnal minds, would be final; whereas the word ’sleep ’ would not. When the disciples misunderstood what He was saying, He clarified the situation by saying plainly, ’Lazarus is dead.’
This looks like a contrary statement to what Jesus was going to do (raise Lazarus from the dead) and indeed it would have been if He had left it at that. But He went on to say in verse 1 ... read more Read the truth and learn more! 5 y

Business School professor Erin Meyer identifies eight scales to demonstrate how different cultures relate. The first scale addresses context’s role in communication. Countries like the US and Australia are low-context cultures where people generally say what they mean and mean what they say.
However, France, like Russia and Japan, tends to be a high-context culture, where “good communication is sophisticated, nuanced and layered. Messages are both spoken and read between the lines,” she writes.
Meyer suspects one of the factors leading to this divide can be found in the numbers: a ... read more The Worse list of BO's First's! 5 y

If this elder son had considered his brother, he would have rejoiced at his return even as his father did. Rather, he was totally self-centered (that’s pride) and became angry.
This illustrates Proverbs 13:10; ’only by pride comes contention.’
