... perfecting us in His image. I trust the Master’s work and I am safe in His hands.” Today his 25-year-old wife, Aleida, told me that she’s really been sick. Tests reveal it is cancer. Tonight when I finally connected with Carlos, he responded with tenderness in his voice, “Jeannine, the Lord has spoken to me. This sickness will not end in death. No, it is for God’s glory so that God’s Son may be glorified through it. We desire to be found faithful with whatever He entrusts to us.” Don’t you ...

... , the more our eyes are opened and the more we see the loneliness, the pain, the quiet desperation of people around us – reaching out – hoping that someone will see, and hear, and stop, and listen, and touch. The closer we walk with the Lord, the more tender our hearts become and we cry within when human needs go unmet. So it’s tough, so very tough for the sincere Christian – for the minister – to recognize that there is a limit to what we can offer. But we must do it – when compassion fatigue ...

So if you pray, “Lord, share your heart with me,” get ready to be plunged into a level grief and mourning whose relief can come only from God. Agony and ecstasy are both in Jesus, and ...

... before of the insidious nature of temptation and the fact that behind the pain of this world is an organizing personality, a great fallen angel that the Bible and the Lord Jesus calls The Evil One. The prayer our Lord left us begins with the tender address of Abba Father and ends with a sober warning about The Evil One who presently rules on earth. There is a continual cosmic clashing of the kingdoms, and while the outcome is not in doubt, the church lives forever behind enemy lines as the representative ...

... father, who never married again, hired a black woman named Mandy to help raise his son. She was a Christian woman who took her task seriously. Seldom has a motherless boy received such warmhearted attention. One of his earliest memories was of Mandy bending tenderly over him in his upstairs bedroom at the beginning of each day and softly saying, “Wake up--God’s mornin’ is come.” As the years passed this devoted woman continued to serve as his surrogate mother.

Sermon

Michael Milton

There, in a scene filled with pathos, a woman tenderly wipes Jesus’ feet with her tears. The other is our text for today. As we come to Mark 14, we come to plotting and betrayal. But sandwiched between this evil is the second story of anointing. It is the story of a broken vessel by a broken woman. It just ...

There is no effort here to create sympathy in our hearts for the poor victims. No tender pictures of children feeding in the streets are given here. Nothing in Paul's discussion about the act of giving is related to the condition of the recipients. Giving is a matter for our hearts.
