Impossible; March 25, 2026

Posted on March 26, 2026 by jgarrott

Mark 10:27 Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God.” This is a vitally important, fundamental principle that we give lip service to, and at the same time … Continue reading →

Motivation; March 24, 2026

Posted on March 25, 2026 by jgarrott

Mark 6:34 When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. So he began teaching them many things. The motive for teaching isn’t to make the teacher feel good, … Continue reading →

Hearing God; March 23, 2026

Posted on March 24, 2026 by jgarrott

Mark 6:3 “Isn’t this the carpenter? Isn’t this Mary’s son and the brother of James, Joseph, Judas and Simon? Aren’t his sisters here with us?” And they took offense at him. I find it very interesting that Jesus had brothers named James, … Continue reading →

Individual Differences; March 22, 2026

Posted on March 23, 2026 by jgarrott

Mark 5:20 So the man went away and began to tell in the Decapolis how much Jesus had done for him. And all the people were amazed. Here we have a disciple who didn’t physically follow Jesus, though he wanted to. … Continue reading →

Communication; March 21, 2026

Posted on March 22, 2026 by jgarrott

Mark 4:34 He did not say anything to them without using a parable. But when he was alone with his own disciples, he explained everything. Jesus is our example in everything, even in things that don’t necessarily seem “spiritual.” Here, He … Continue reading →

Perception; March 19, 2026

Posted on March 20, 2026 by jgarrott

Matthew 28:9 Suddenly Jesus met them. “Greetings,” he said. They came to him, clasped his feet and worshiped him. Matthew gets the story slightly scrambled, but he does have Mary Magdalene grabbing Jesus’ feet. John, in chapter 20, gives a bit more … Continue reading →

Humility and Pride; March 18, 2026

Posted on March 19, 2026 by jgarrott

Matthew 26:22 They were very sad and began to say to him one after the other, “Surely you don’t mean me, Lord?” It strikes me that by this time, the disciples had been with Jesus long enough to know two … Continue reading →

Last Days; March 17, 2026

Posted on March 18, 2026 by jgarrott

Matthew 24:4 Jesus answered: “Watch out that no one deceives you.” In the verses following, Jesus really lays it on the line. No believer can honestly say, “This isn’t what I signed up for.” This fits perfectly with the very succinct … Continue reading →

Matthew 23:12 “For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.” It’s interesting how much trouble we have following what Jesus says here. The Catholic practice of addressing priests as Father is in … Continue reading →
