M A Y 2 3 “And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was still a great way off, his father saw him and had compassion, and ran and fell on his neck and kissed him.” — Luke 15:20

The Love Of The Father

Do you remember the last time you waited to see someone dear to you? Perhaps your best friend from childhood visited you from a faraway place. Maybe a child came home from college. Whoever it was, how did you feel when that person finally arrived? The joy we feel at a reunion with a cherished family member or friend is just the tiniest reflection of our heavenly Father’s joy when one of His lost children returns to Him. We get a... More

M A Y 2 2 “... the younger son gathered all together, journeyed to a far country, and there wasted his possessions with prodigal living.” — Luke 15:13

The Far Country

Someone once said that people can be divided into two types: givers and takers. The Prodigal Son in Christ’s parable was most definitely a taker. We can paraphrase his first words in the parable as “Gimme. Gimme the goods that fall to me.” “Gimme” is his attitude and the attitude of millions of people in our world today. So the father divided the wealth and gave the son his living. With his newly acquired... More

M A Y 2 1 “Then He said, ‘A certain man had two sons.’” — Luke 15:11

The Prodigal Son

Author Charles Dickens, who knew a great tale when he heard it, remarked that the greatest story in all literature was the parable of the Prodigal Son. For the next few days, we’ll examine this story that earned such distinction. To begin our examination, let’s briefly review the story. You will recall that the parable is about a father and his two sons. The younger son came to his father, asking for his share of his... More

M A Y 2 0 “Be not misled: ‘Bad company corrupts good character.’” — 1 Corinthians 15:33, NIV

Who Are Your Friends?

We are all influenced by each other, and our ideas, thoughts and even mannerisms are shaped by the people around us. Who we choose as friends is critical in terms of who we ultimately become. Choosing godly friends will build us up in the faith and help us to become godly. Conversely, choosing ungodly friends will pull us down. From the beginning of time, peer pressure has been a major factor in leading people astray. The book of Proverbs... More

M A Y 1 9 “. . . when the king came in to see the guests, he saw a man there who did not have on a wedding garment. So he said to him, ‘Friend, how did you come in here without a wedding garment? And he was speechless.’” — Matthew 22:11-12

The Parable Of The Wedding Feast

Can you imagine being invited to a royal wedding? For most of us, our first response would be “But I have nothing to wear.” Then we’d go to great lengths to prepare for the event, scouring all the best stores for the most suitable gown or tuxedo, not to mention all the appropriate accessories. Well, the invitations have gone out, not for the wedding of the century, but for the wedding feast of the ages. And you are... More

M A Y 1 8 “He restores my soul ...” — Psalm 23:3

He Restores My Soul

Have you felt run-down lately? Do you need a little refreshment or maybe even a full-blown vacation? We all feel that way at times. Because of the Fall, everything in this world runs down, including us. We experience this in the spiritual realm as well as in the physical. But Jesus Christ is the great restorer. When we feel drained, we can rely on Him to rejuvenate us. He says, “Behold, I make all things new,” and nothing exists... More

M A Y 1 7 “I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be abased, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.” — Luke 18:14

The Cold Pharisee

Do you have confidence that God finds you acceptable? If so, upon what do you base your confidence? The Pharisees believed that God found them acceptable based on their goodness. The Pharisees trusted in their works. Jesus tells us that they even prayed to themselves: “The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself.” As time went on, they became increasingly holy in their own eyes. But Christ found them greatly lacking. He... More
