Don’t take the cross for granted.


Now the tax collectors and “sinners” were all gathering around to hear him


No pretty pictures, no flashy colors, just the facts in black and white.


Today I read some heavy words of Jesus. They are statements that, if I were honest, I would look to dismiss rather than embrace.


Our sinful mind is the idol factory!


Psalm 53 in my own words

Stupidity to the depraved leads to knowledge.
Humility and honor taste foul in the mouths of arrogant men.
Only the lowest of fools would claim “there is no God!”


Read: Exodus 21-25; Psalm 37-42; Mark 13-14

66While Peter was below in the courtyard, one of the servant girls of the high priest came by. 67When she saw Peter warming himself, she looked closely at him. “You also were with that Nazarene, Jesus,” she said. 68But he denied it. “I don’t know or understand what you’re talking about,” he said, and went out into the entryway.
