Ash Wednesday: The First Step To Easter

677517thh9p2nvdToday is Ash Wednesday, the start of a time of repentance and prayer on our journey to Easter Sunday. I’d like to repost a short devotion I wrote last year to set the tone for this 40-day season. Whether you will be attending services today or praying on your own, I trust that this will be a time for you to deepen your walk with Jesus.

    Hi,
    I was just reading a post by Mary Kane on the Mustard Seed parable because I was searching for information about the tiny seed and the tree. I think Mary may have made a mistake in saying that the mustard tree is an annual. There are mustard plants that are annuals, but the tree is defined as an evergreen. I don’t think a plant can be classified as an evergreen and be an annual.

    Hi Maureen,
    Thank you for your comment. I checked my sources and they are listed correctly but they offer differing opinions on the type of plant Jesus is speaking about. I amended by document to clear up any confusion.
    Thank you!
    In Christ,
    Mary Kane

Psalm 23 Remix

July 9, 2020 By MaryK Leave a Comment

Psalm 23 is one of the the most well-known parts of the Bible. People who do not claim to be religious can quote parts of Psalm 23. Christians have become so familiar with this beloved psalm we almost cease to hear it. What we need is a Psalm 23 remix- a fresh look at an […]

be loved, Beloved Bible Study

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16 is one of the most well known Bible verses in the world. Perhaps you already know it by heart. I’ve had it memorized for a long time.[Read More…]
