Back in the 80’s and 90’s, there used to be a show called Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous.  This show presented a behind the scenes look at the extravagant lifestyles of the wealthiest people around the world.  It featured their huge mansions, their beautiful gardens and pools, their massive collection of vehicles, their yachts, planes, diamonds, pearls, decadent dinners and over the top vacation destinations. This reminds me of the rich, young man in Mark 10. The rich man asked Jesus in verse 17:  “What must I do to inherit eternal life?” Jesus answered: 19 You know the commandments: ‘Do […]

I remember long ago, being at the McDonald’s slides and tunnels where the kids could run and play. At the end of each tunnel was a window where you could see the children playing inside.  One day my son (age 5) grabbed one of the little girls and put her in a headlock.  The little girl started screaming for her mommy and all the moms looked up and to my horror – there was my son holding this sweet little girl hostage right in front of the window! I yelled up to him – “let her go”. He did nothing […]

Pressure. As we examine the life of Christ in Mark 1-3, I am amazed at the pressure that surrounded Jesus.  He had pressure in the wilderness from Satan’s temptations.  He had pressure from the news of the arrest of John the Baptist.  He had pressure from the crowds that pressed in on Him as they sought healing from illnesses and healing from demonic oppressions. Jesus traveled and preached in the synagogues and then went out and ate with sinners.  He was followed by the Pharisees who were watching his every move and making plans to destroy Him.  And the crowds continued […]
