Because he is risen …

For the next 40 days, the risen Savior again walked with his disciples. He served them breakfast on the shores of Galilee. He talked with them as he had before the darkness of Calvary split their world and time itself in two.

On that great mornin’

The story did not end there. Praise God the story does not with the nails being removed and his Body being laid in the grave. It doesn’t end with the disciples hiding in fear or the Jewish high council gloating over its apparent victory.

Hope rose high on the Judean hillside that morning during a first-century spring. It was a hope desperately sought by a people oppressed. The dark hand of Rome gripped the Jewish people. It’s tax collectors were agents of extortion. Its soldiers instruments of destruction. Any threat to Rome was crushed mercilessly. But into this darkness… Continue reading A welcome for a king … →

An invitation to reflection …

A few months ago, the music director at church asked me to write the cantata for our choir. I had suggested writing one a few years ago, but had forgotten that I mentioned it to her until he asked. Today, that cantata came to life. This week, I invite you to relive it through the… Continue reading An invitation to reflection … →

Defending Martha

23 June 201116 June 2019 Tammie2 Comments

I can’t read one more devotional, article, blog post or sermon about the whole “Mary and Martha thing.” You ladies know exactly what I’m talking about. You’ve heard the whole “how to live like Mary in a Martha world” thing. To make a short story shorter, Jesus and his disciples come to Mary and Martha’s… Continue reading Defending Martha →
