Mark 5:17 MKJV
(17) And they began to beg Him to leave their borders.
As soon as it is understood that it has and will cost something, there is usually much less acceptance of the source of healing and deliverance - when the miracle is for someone else anyway. Though it was surely amazing to see [...]
Romans 12:21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
It was only natural. If you reasonably consider the situation you would have to agree that it was a totally justified response. I was, after all, minding my own business with no evil intent whatsoever, and it wasn’t until I was so rudely [...]
Genesis 25:34 Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentiles; and he did eat and drink, and rose up, and went his way: thus Esau despised his birthright.
It just really seems unfair. You wouldn’t think something as important as Esau’s legal right to the blessing and inheritance of his father could so easily be [...]

Zechariah 1:6 That Message did its work on your ancestors, did it not? It woke them up and they came back, saying, ‘He did what he said he would do, sure enough. We didn’t get by with a thing.’”
A few years ago some guys from another part of the world thought they would inflict a [...]
Romans 1:32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
His elevator doesn’t go all the way to the top floor.
He couldn’t find his way out of a paper bag.
He doesn’t have both oars in [...]
Psalms 83:5 And now they’re putting their heads together, making plans to get rid of you. (The Message)
It’s always been so incredible to me how something as tiny as a little ant can navigate, collaborate, motivate and accomplish so much, given so very little. When you consider the magnitude of technical resources it would take [...]
Romans 8:3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
I took my car to get an overdue inspection yesterday. I was fairly certain there would be a few things [...]
