At the Wedding at Cana (John 2:1-11), they had butchered the fattened calf and purchased the best wine they could for their many guests. But they had miscalculated. Mary says that they were running low on wine. And that’s a surefire way to ruin a party. 01/17/2024 12:00 AM

A STORY WORTH TELLING 12/19/2023 11:00 PM

True greatness

Jesus said, “Truly, I say to you, among those born of women there has arisen no one greater than John the Baptist” (Matthew 11:11). It seems like Jesus was mistaken. John fit none of the world’s criteria for greatness; he was not talented, attractive, rich, or powerful. Quite the opposite, really. Look at John, dressed in homemade, scratchy, camel-hair garments, with wild hair full of brambles, living out in the wilderness, scavenging for meals of locusts and wild honey. He drove off most of his own followers by sending them to follow Jesus. After a short ministry he ended up in jail, and soon lost his head at the wish of a dancing girl. John sure wasn’t great, according to worldly standards. Yet the words of Jesus still stand: “Truly, I say to you, among those born of women there has arisen no one greater than John the Baptist.” 12/13/2023 05:00 AM

The secretary of state’s office last week declared the propositions approved and now a part of the Texas Constitution, while Gov. Greg Abbott canvassed the election and certified the results. One proposition that would have raised the retirement age of judges was rejected by voters. 12/12/2023 11:00 PM

Lift up your heads!

Lift up your heads!

It’s been looking more and more like Christmas since October, but we’re just a couple weeks into in Advent. And a good thing, too. The message of Advent is just what we need right now. This time of year especially, we tend to focus our eyes on earthly pursuits and pleasures. Shopping, planning, cooking, baking, having parties – these aren’t inherently sinful, but they can distract us from the things of God. 12/06/2023 12:00 AM
