When I saw in the plunder a beautiful robe from Babylonia, two hundred shekels of silver and a bar of gold weighing fifty shekels, I coveted them and took them. They are hidden in the ground inside my tent, with the silver underneath… Joshua said, “Why have you brought this trouble on us? The Lord will bring trouble on you today.” —Joshua 7:21,25 “No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.” —Luke 16:13              Our choices don’t only affect ourselves, but others as well.  Achan, and all the…

Now the tax collectors and sinners were all gathering around to hear Jesus. But the Pharisees and the teachers of the law muttered, “This man welcomes sinners and eats with them…” I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent… I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents…. But we had to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.” —Luke 15:1-2, 7, 10, 32…

In the same way, those of you who do not give up everything you have cannot be my disciples. —Luke 14:33 In the way of righteousness there is life; along that path is immortality. —Proverbs 12:28              Are you still grasping the forbidden fruit— the desire to go your own way, do your own thing and not come to God His way?  Are you seeking to be the captain of your own ship/life, the determiner of your destiny?  Are you really hanging onto that which is so temporary and yet you think that is what life is all about?              Well, Jesus said, “those of you who do not give…

Now there were some present at that time who told Jesus about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices. Jesus answered, “Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans because they suffered this way?  I tell you, no! But unless you repent, you too will all perish.  Or those eighteen who died when the tower in Siloam fell on them—do you think they were more guilty than all the others living in Jerusalem?  I tell you, no! But unless you repent, you too will all perish.” —Luke 13:1-5              Death comes to people in a variety of ways.  These are two examples from…

See now that I myself am he! There is no god besides me.  I put to death and I bring to life, I have wounded and I will heal, and no one can deliver out of my hand. —Psalm 32:39              Amazingly, we read that— See now that I myself am he!

The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may follow all the words of this law. —Deuteronomy 29:29 He decreed statutes for Jacob and established the law in Israel, which he commanded our ancestors to teach their children, so the next generation would know them, even the children yet to be born, and they in turn would tell their children.  Then they would put their trust in God and would not forget his deeds but would keep his commands. —Psalm 78:5-7              There are some things, many things, that the Lord our God has chosen not to…

As the crowds increased, Jesus said, “This is a wicked generation.
