Ask 10 people what sin is and you’ll likely get 10 different responses. On top of that, they probably won’t be based on the Bible. That’s a problem, since “all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23), we should know what this disease that lives in each of us is. Pastor … Continue reading →

What does the bad eye refer to in Matthew 20:15? It refers to an eye that cannot see the beauty of grace. It cannot see the brightness of generosity. It cannot see unexpected blessing to others as a precious treasure. It is an eye that is blind to what is truly beautiful and bright and precious and God-like. It is a worldly eye. It sees money and material reward as more to be desired than a beautiful display of free, gracious, God-like generosity.
