Scripture in Action

On Judgment Day, the angels will separate the wicked from the righteous. Will we be counted among the righteous?

We have all discovered the treasure that is Jesus. The question is: Do we know how valuable he is?

Jesus explains the parable of the weeds, but leaves one important question unanswered.

Jesus' parables were simple stories that he told, but they were not easy to understand. They were like puzzles that one had to solve. The question is: why?

In this Parable of the Yeast Jesus talks about how a little yeast makes a huge difference to the dough. So what?

Jesus said that although the mustard seed is the smallest of all seeds,  when it grows, it is the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree. But this is not botanically true, so why?

 If you wanted to take down a city that has strong defenses, what’s the best way to do it? Take it down from within. 

The Parable of the Sower provides a glimpse of our hearts and understanding it might help us understand how we react to the word of God.

Unlike commonly believed, the stories Jesus told were neither simple, not easy to understand. Why did Jesus speak in riddles?

These reflections, like the word of God, often serve as a reflection of ourselves. How do we react to what is revealed?

Jesus said: "Whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.” Would we qualify as Jesus' family?

Can a Christian be possessed? The short answer is: No. However, there can be areas of our life that are not brought under God's control. We need deliverance.

God does not call only individuals to repentance but societies as well. Unfortunately, everyone is looking for a sign. Are you?

Jesus said:  By your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned. How do you think we will fare?

When Jesus said that anyone who spoke a word against the Holy Spirit would not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come, what did he mean?

If Satan is divided against himself, his kingdom cannot stand. Likewise, if the church is divided against itself, the church cannot stand. 

When we don't follow the rules people make, they want to punish us — sometimes with death. What should we do?

Without obedience to authority there would be anarchy. So, when is it ok to be disobedient?

Situational ethics means that one chooses how to act based on the needs of a situation rather than absolute moral standards. Was Jesus practicing this in today's passage?

Jesus offers us rest not only from the burden of sin, but also from the burden of self-righteousness.

Christ has made the Father known to *all* of us. He has also made the Father’s *business* known to us. How's that going?

The Freshness Principle states: "Whenever you see something, or hear something, or do something, imagine you are seeing/hearing/doing it for the first time, even if you have seen/heard/done it a hundred times before.

Speaking for God the prophet Ezekiel said: Repent! Why do you want to die? I take no pleasure in the death of anyone, so repent and live!" Let us all repent and live!

Do we want to be remembered like the scribes and Pharisees who will be known only for their opposition to John and Jesus, or will we be beacons of light in a dark world in imitation of the latter? 

What did Jesus mean when he said that among those born of women there has not risen anyone greater than John the Baptist; yet whoever is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he?
