Heb.1:5 – For to which of the angels did He ever say,“YOU ARE MY SON,TODAY I HAVE FATHERED YOU”?And again,“I WILL BE A FATHER TO HIMAND HE WILL BE A SON TO ME”? Understanding what it means for the Father to have an only Son will take us all of eternity (which means we will …
Lk.15:20 – So he set out and came to his father. But when he was still a long way off, his father saw him and felt compassion for him, and ran and embraced him and kissed him. The wayward son had never noticed his father’s love before. All he could remember were the house rules. …
Lk.15:22 – “But the father said to his slaves, ‘Quickly bring out the best robe and put it on him.’” I often wish I had been given the talent of an artist (maybe in heaven). This scene is painted in my brain; the Father displaying His love and forgiveness on His returning son. This robe …

Matt.6:26 – Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? The Lord’s prayer has been the daily bread for the church for 2000 years. From Jesus to Augustine, from Luther to Spurgeon, …
LK.15:20 – 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. I think many people get the wrong idea about religious people, especially the Puritans from long, long ago. They …
