When we think of something that is pure, we usually think of it as the real deal, authentic, or genuine. This next Beatitude states that the “pure in heart” will see God. Christians are many times labeled as hypocrites because people may see them not living the way of righteousness that the Lord teaches us. Being a hypocrite about any ideology can often be categorized as not being true to that way of thinking. People would see such a person as not the real deal, not authentic, or not true to the type of person they claim to be. Jesus, in the...

“He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted.” Isaiah 61:1 There are a lot of heartaches in our lives. We would like to have the world be a better place. But doesn’t it seem like things are just getting worse? Our lives get weighed down with many cares and concerns. Sometimes matters are so serious that it just breaks our hearts. What difficulties are you facing that are almost too much to bear? What troubling circumstances surround the days that keep you awake at night? To whom can you turn for help? You can turn to Jesus. God sent him “to b...

"I've never seen you paint." … said the collector to the painter Jasper Johns. “Neither have I.” Watching is different than doing. Trying to do both at the same time is a challenge. – Seth Godin, February 11, 2024.] I have never once watched or listened to one of my sermons in nearly 15 years of full-time ministry. And I’ve never really stopped to ask myself why. I don’t mind the sound of myself on recordings like some people do. I don’t necessarily think my sermons are bad (although I’ve certainly thought that a few times). There is just somet...
We are moving right along in the Beatitudes, and we come to one that is really hard for a lot of us. Matthew 5:7 says, “Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.” The Greek definition for the word “merciful” is basically having compassion on others. This definition of compassion covers a lot of area in our relationship with others. Christ had compassion on many people, on many occasions, when he was going from town to town proclaiming the good news of the kingdom. In Matthew 9:36 it says, “When he saw the crowds, he had compassio...

As we continue to study the beatitudes in Matthew Chapter 5, we turn to verse 6, which says, “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.” Now when we say that we’re hungry or thirsty in everyday life, that could mean various levels of hunger or thirsting. In our natural bodies, the feelings of hunger and thirst grow slowly from just beginning to feel that way, to a full-blown pain of either or both. What that means is that when the feeling of either hunger or thirst starts out, it’s just noticea...

Many search and look, often without success, for simple true love. True love is defined as a love that demands action. It is not only expressed in words; it moves to action. If you love someone, you will not only say it but act. Love always manifests itself in action. Soon, we will celebrate love. We will send flowers, cards, and candy to those we love. We will express our love to those who are precious to us. Valentine's Day is a wonderful time to demonstrate our love in action. It is often tru...
This beatitude is especially hard for me because I, by nature, am not a meek person. The definition for this word “meek” deals with being a submissive, mild mannered, easily-imposed-upon person. If you’re like me that is hard to do when you feel like people are opposing or coming against you in some sort of demeaning or threatening way. Our chests bow up and we automatically want to win the battle of whatever issue is coming between us. A teaching of God’s Holy scripture comes to mind that is a pattern of this definition. God wants us to be a...
