Does A Person Need To Turn To God To Be Forgiven?

I noticed something in a review of Luke 15 that got me thinking.  Especially in light of a Facebook comment I read which said:  “Forgiveness doesn’t start until we do turn back.” The thought behind that comment, if I am not mistaken, is that grace – mercy, God’s love, forgiveness, the whole package – is […]

God’s Greatest Gift

There is a proverb which says, ““No gift is truly ours till we have thanked the giver.” We’ve come to the end of our week of reflection on Luke 17:11-19. What we have learned is that Jesus grace/blessed/healed ten lepers. Still, sadly, only one, a Samaritan, returned to give thanks. I wonder what was going […]

Contagious Love

Love During Jesus’ ministry, he often upset the religious establishment of the day by extending love to people considered “unlovable.” As in all societies, during Jesus’ day, there was the “in” crowd and the outcasts. The “in crowd,” as characterized by the Pharisees and Sadducees, was a group, smug about their goodness and holiness. They […]

God What do you see when you  look in the mirror? The apostle Paul tells us that what we see in the mirror is  not what we really are – we see only a poor reflection of ourselves. But God,  on the other hand, sees us perfectly – and very differently from the way we […]
