Elemental: S2 - Day 27

Matthew 10:40 “Anyone who welcomes you welcomes Me…” Caryl Lynn and I always wanted children. So over eight years, we had three and our lives filled with joy. We were young, and there were diapers and onesies, Playmobil® sets and Legos, tea parties and trampolines. We loved our time together at summer camp, Ocean City, and Christmas at Grandma and Grampy’s. There were always lights on at our... Read More

Galatians 6:2 “Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.” I’m fascinated by Jesus’ healing of the paralytic man in Mark 2:1-8. He obviously can’t get to Jesus by himself. Four friends carry him. My mind builds the picture of a group of five that drew close as children. Did they give each other nicknames? Did they call him “Quick” because of his wit? Then, in our story, w... Read More

Proverbs 27:17 “Just as iron sharpens iron, friends sharpen the minds of one another.” We’ve identified significant rebuilding blocks as we sifted through our thinking of the past.

In nature, our frien... Read More

Luke 22:20 “…after the supper he took the cup, saying, ‘This cup is the new covenant in My blood, which is poured out for you.’” So, what is in this “cup of God’s wrath,” and who made it? We have all the clues to figure it out.We know Jesus died from our sins on the cross of Calvary. (1 Corinthians 15:3) In fact, 1 Peter 2:24 says, “He himself bore our sins in His body on the tree…” So when... Read More

Hosea 11:8 “How can I give you up, O Ephraim? How can I let you go, O Israel?” There are two cups highlighted in the New Testament. The second one is called “the cup of God’s wrath.” You’ll remember we read about it in Revelation 14 yesterday. Appalling. Are we seriously tasked with telling people about this? Are we supposed to wander around warning the public that God is getting really an... Read More
