Caught in Sin?
Are you a "Christian" caught in some kind of sin? When I mean caught, I mean trapped in it to the extent that it seems to you that there is no way out. If you are, I want to let you know that there is hope for you. Do not be in despair, for there is a God that saves. The fact that you are despaired itself is the greatest sign that in the end you will have victory.
Many so called Christians live in sin without having the slightest sorrow. But if you have a sorrow and dissatisfaction about your sinful life, that proves that you are a candidate...

Watch Yourselves (Luke 21 & 22)
Luke 21 and 22 are the two chapters that we will be discussing today. In these two chapters, we see Jesus has entered the last phase of his mission on earth. The time of the betrayal, the cross and the resurrection was at hand. It is believed that Jesus spent the last week of his life in Jerusalem. Luke 21 and 22 talks about the events of this last week.
Luke 21 begins with Jesus' observation of the poor widow who put in two small copper coins into the offering box. Here is a woman, who needs help desperately but still makes...

Small Man, Big Change (Luke 19 & 20)
In today's post we will look at one of the most repeated stories of the New testament. From Sunday School to VBS, the story of Zacchaeus has been told innumerable times to children because of its somewhat interesting circumstances. Zacchaeus is introduced as a chief tax collector who was also very rich. Being a chief tax collector he was probably in charge of a large tax district and had other tax collectors working for him. His profession was one of the most hated professions of the day, since tax collectors made their wealth by taxing more than...

Bible Study (Luke 17 & 18)
In today's Bible study we again find ourselves in a rich portion of scripture filled with practical wisdom and teaching from our Lord Jesus Christ about a variety of issues. Here is an outline of the two chapters:
Luke 17
Temptations to sin
Woe to the one who causes temptation
Rebuke brothers caught in sin
Forgive without limit
Faith
Faith as small as a mustard seed is strong enough, if it is aligned with the will of God.
Unworthy Servants
Jesus cleanses ten lepers
The incident shows the rarity of gratitude.
The coming of the Kingdom
Luke...

Bible Study (Luke 15 and 16)
In today's post I want to turn your attention to the parable of the Prodigal son. Although these two chapters contain other parables, I want to focus on this one only so as to keep the post as short and concise as possible.
Before we delve into the parable itself, it is imperative that we study the context in which it was told by Jesus. Not knowing the context fully, will keep us from grasping the finer details of this parable.
In the beginning of Luke 15, we see that the Pharisees had gathered around Jesus and that they were apparently disgusted...

Bible Study (Luke 13 and 14)
The following are some notes I jotted down after my study of Luke 13 and 14. I pray and hope that these might be useful to any that happen to read this. I also hope that I will be able to do this regularly. I know that with my own strength I won't be able to do this, because it takes a lot of time and I am simply not disciplined himself to do this unless he strengthens and teaches me to do so.
Luke 13:1-5
Repent or Perish
"All" who do not repent will perish
Calamities and Catastrophes are not always signs of some grave sin.
13:6-9
Parable...
