Luke

Luke 15:11-12 (NKJV) Then He said:  “A certain man had two sons. And the younger of them said to his father, ‘Father, give me the portion of goods that falls to me.’ So he divided to them his livelihood.” I did not include the entire story in the reference but I hope you know it. […]

Luke 11:34 (NKJV) “The lamp of the body is the eye. Therefore, when your eye is good, your whole body also is full of light. But when your eye is bad, your body also is full of darkness.” I’ve heard it said that “perception is everything”. I used to think that was true but that

Luke 1:34-35 (NKJV) “Then Mary said to the angel, ‘How can this be, since I do not know a man?’ And the angel answered and said to her, ‘the Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you; therefore, also, that Holy One who is to be born will

Luke 2:11 (NKJV) “For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.” Christmas is upon us. Just a few more weeks and families will gather together. There will be laughter, love, and lots of food. For some, there will be children running around the

In the midst of those people were the religious leaders. No doubt they knew many of those

Luke:22:34 (NIV®) “Jesus answered, ‘I tell you, Peter, before the rooster crows today, you will deny three times that you know me.’” I am sympathetic toward Peter. He had spent years with Jesus and had grown to love Him. He knew that Jesus was the Christ, the Son of God (Matthew 16:16). Now that Jesus

Luke 12:20a (NIV®) “But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you.’” Have you ever wondered about folks who, out of the blue, have terrible things happen to them? One minute they’re buying groceries or having dinner with family and the next minute they are homeless, jobless,

Luke 4:18-19 (NIV®) “‘The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor.  He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.’” Jesus was

Luke 14:28 (NKJV) “For which of you, intending to build a tower, does not sit down first and count the cost, whether he has enough to finish it” Have you ever been “in over your head” so to speak?  Sometimes all I can do is shake my head at myself for landing in some of
