“But Martha…” Luke 10:40 As a mom, one thing I have been extremely conscious of is not comparing my boys to one another. I have read the research … Doing so creates self-doubt in a child, breeds jealousy, damages parent-child and sibling-sibling relationships and potentially catapults them as anxious adults. Not a good idea. That … Continue reading

#iRevAdvent: Day 6
“Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet…” Luke 10:39 I promise I will move on from here. But I can not quit thinking about those feet! So one more day and then I promise we will move on! Yesterday we introduced the concept of the “feet of Jesus” being the proper place of a disciple. … Continue reading
#iRevAdvent: Day 5
“…who seated herself at the Lord’s feet.” Luke 10:39 I love all versions of Scripture. Nothing thrills me more than to take one passage and compare it across multiple spectrums of translations. But my FAVORITE always trends towards the Amplified Bible. There is something so exhaustive in nature about this version. With a “double-clicking”, if … Continue reading

I have a feeling these words have potential to evoke a lot of emotion. “And she had a sister,” are turning point words in this narrative. Jesus came through the village, Martha saw Jesus, she invited Him … Continue reading
#iRevAdvent: Day 3
“…and a woman named Martha received and welcomed Him into her house.” Luke 10:38b AMP I just need to say this for the record. Martha is awesome. She gets a bad rap sometimes, but let’s be honest. If it wasn’t for these words in Luke 10:38, we wouldn’t be having this particular Advent series, would … Continue reading

And this side of the cross, we all know what His ministry mission ultimately was. He was on mission to save us all; to take up the … Continue reading
