PRAISE & PRAYER PROMPT ••• Today is Maundy Thursday. Maundy Thursday is a remembrance of The Last Supper and the command that Jesus gave mere hours before His arrest. In fact, the word “Maundy” is a derivative of the Latin word for “command.” Two commands were given at the Last Supper. The first, we are very familiar with… It’s the basis of communion.

PRAISE & PRAYER PROMPT ••• The beginning of Exodus 15 starts with a song of Moses. Verse 2 says, “The Lord is my strength and my song, and he has become my salvation; this is my God, and I will praise him, my father’s God, and I will exalt him.” One of the things I’ve always found so fascinating about Moses is that he grew … Continue reading 4.17.19 Praise & Prayer Prompt: Faith of Our Fathers
PRAISE & PRAYER PROMPT ••• Yesterday’s headline news was the fire at Notre Dame. The history nerd in me is beyond sad about it.

PRAISE & PRAYER PROMPT ••• Romans 3:23 says, “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God…” We know this verse. We believe this verse. But do we personalize this verse? Do we ask, “What is sin?” Because we don’t talk about it a lot. And I’m guilty of it too… I don’t write about sin very much. It’s an uncomfortable topic … Continue reading 4.12.19 Praise & Prayer Prompt: Sin & Grace
