And I know I’m sounding like an old man here, but I remember back in the summer of ’98, gas was literally 85 cents a gallon. Memories. So today’s question, as spring break is happening or already happened and cars have been on the road, is [...]

More Than Sand Drawings

Posted by MK | Filed under Current Events, Pop Culture

From Colossal… San Francisco-area landscape artist Andreas Amador etches massive sand drawings onto beaches during full moons when his canvas reaches its largest potential.

On the Worst Day of Your Life, Jesus Has Been Praying for You

Posted by MK | Filed under Bible Study

“I tell you, Peter,” He said, “the rooster will not crow today until you deny three times that You know Me” (Luke 22:34). The words must have hung in the air for a moment, pointed and powerful. The disciples had just been arguing, to the last man, about who was to be the greatest in [...]

I Have Fervently Desired to Eat This Passover With You

Posted by MK | Filed under Bible Study

It was the eve of the crucifixion – the pivotal event in the course of human history. Jesus’ entire life had led to the upcoming moments. He knew the pain and hardship before Him, and as He gathered His early followers around Him, He made this pronouncement: “I have fervently desired to eat this Passover [...]
