Apparently, some of the residents around Jerusalem weren’t too happy the Jews returned to rebuild the temple. They offered to help, but it’s the kind of help that nobody wants or needs.

The books of Ezra and Nehemiah are the stories of the restoration of God’s temple in Jerusalem and the city itself. It’s c. 538 BC, the Babylonians who captured the Jews and brought them to Babylon were gone. The Medes and Persians ruled by King Cyrus are in power. It’s time for God’s promise to

The Eastern Orthodox Church, specifically the Russian one, has been elevated in the news a lot since Russia invaded Ukraine. I watched videos of Vladimir Putin worshiping in a church in Russia. My first thought was — if he is truly Christian, as his ritualistic worship indicates, how can he be so cruel as to

As we wind down the epic story of Queen Esther, we see again how God humbles the proud and exalts the humble — another ironic reversal of fortune.

Up till now, Esther has done nothing but please the king. Nevertheless, unless she can turn the tides, she and her people — all the Jews — will be annihilated. Yet, we know that God cannot and will not let that happen. Let’s dig in… Keep reading in my blog where there are links to

Irony – “Astate of affairsor an event that seems deliberately contrary to what one expects and isoftenamusing as a result.” In these next 2 chapters, we have an ironic reversal of fortune. Furthermore, you can see God’s handiwork as the events play out. Let’s dig in… Keep reading in my blog where there are links

For such a time as this. That’s a phrase that is often quoted when a person is in the right place at the right time, with proper authority, ability, skill, or wherewithal to do something positive. It could be to fix what is broken, to correct a wrong, or to bring an important issue to

Providence. Esther was a “fish out of water”. This historical account takes place in 438 BC. That’s over 100 years since the Babylonians sacked Jerusalem and took all the Jews away. Since then, some went back to start rebuilding — we’ll get to those stories in Ezra and Nehemiah next — however, many stayed. This

Good News! The tomb is empty! Jesus is Risen! He is Alive! Wow! This last chapter of Mark summarizes that first Easter Sunday rather nicely.

Something very significant happened the moment Jesus died. Unfortunately, many people skim over it not realizing how important this epic occurrence was. Today we unveil the tearing of the veil!

This being the 3rd year of my doing a study on Jesus’ crucifixion, I wanted to dig deeper than the obvious. We read the passages every year for Holy Week and Easter, but we really don’t take the time to unpack it. There’s so much more to Jesus’ trial and crucifixion than meets the eye!

The Rest of Mark chapter 14, really speaks for itself. It’s the Last Supper in the Upper Room. It’s the breaking of the bread and the drinking of the wine. Finally, the agony in the garden followed by the betrayal of a “friend”, the prediction of a falling away, the arrest and mock trial. Come

Judas. The name today means “traitor” or “turncoat”. It’s not a name you want to be called, let alone known as. Today you’ll see the difference between a true, loyal follower of Jesus and someone who puts idols first. Let’s dig in… Keep reading in my blog where there are links to dig deeper with

Spoiler Alert! Usually that means that a key pivotal point in a story will be revealed. If you don’t want to know, don’t listen. Jesus, however, in His Mercy, gives us a clue as to what’s going to happen in the future, the end times, the last days. The word “Apocalypse” comes from the Greek

As I dive deeper into Jesus’ last week on earth, I can’t help but notice the similarities between the religious leaders back then and who we have now. Today’s “woke” pastors are threatened by the Gospel Truth and they refuse to preach it. They fear that people will leave their churches. People need to hear

Known as Jesus’ “Triumphal Entry” or Palm Sunday, Jesus finally arrives in Jerusalem — His time has come. Today, Palm Sunday triggers the start of Holy Week as devout Christians walk where Jesus walked to the cross, then to the Resurrection. We need to remember that each event of this week fulfilled Old Testament Bible

Twice in this next passage Jesus asks, “What do you want me to do for you?” Each situation is different as they come to Him with different attitudes. Given that, hopefully, it will make you stop and think about how you approach Jesus in prayer. Let’s dig in… Keep reading in my blog where there

Mark is full of potent passages! In this next one, Jesus answers a rich man’s question about how to inherit eternal life. Unfortunately, he’s not going to like Jesus’ answer. Will you?

The Catholic Church does not condone divorce. That became a stumbling block for my parents and a blessing for me (I’ll explain later). Jesus, however, has something very clear to say about marriage and divorce as well as children entering the Kingdom of God. When is a child accountable for his or her actions? That

These last passages in the 9th chapter of the Gospel of Mark may seem disjointed, but the really all fit together. Jesus is preparing His disciples for His capture, trial, death and resurrection, but they just don’t get it yet. Because we already know the outcome, we have great insight into what He’s saying here.
