Prayers for the Undeserving

“A new command I give you: Love one another.  As I have loved you, so you must love one another.” John 13:34 As I have loved you. You must love one another.

Even the best pastors, leaders,...

The Big Fail

“Simon Peter followed Jesus, as did another of the disciples.  That other disciple was acquainted with the high priest, so he was allowed to enter the high priest’s courtyard with Jesus.  Peter had to stay outside the gate. Then the disciple who knew the high priest spoke to the woman watching at the gate, and she let Peter in.  The woman asked Peter, “You’re not one of that man’s...
