Nowhere Else to Go
The following devotional is from a series I am writing for HopeStreamRadio. I also plan to publish an e-book featuring these pieces later this year.
Jesus’ teachings weren’t—and aren’t—always easy to understand. In John 6, He speaks of the bread that came down from heaven. As a result, many of His followers left Him. His teaching was just too hard for them to grasp.
When He was alone with His disciples, He asked them a pointed question.
John 6:66-67 reads a...

Keep Listening
So pay attention to how you hear. To those who listen to my teaching, more understanding will be given. But for those who are not listening, even what they think they understand will be taken away from them.
Luke 8:18, NLT*
Jesus’ warning here is why we need to read the Bible – daily – and to ask God to open our ears and teach us. It’s why we need to spend time with other Christians, not just socializing but also sharing what we’ve seen God do and what we’re learning.
It’s what I’m afraid of for...

Jesus’ Authority
I know this because I am under the authority of my superior officers, and I have authority over my soldiers. I only need to say, ‘Go,’ and they go, or ‘Come,’ and they come. And if I say to my slaves, ‘Do this,’ they do it.
Luke 7:8, NLT*
The Roman officer believed that Jesus’ word at a distance was enough to heal his dying slave, because he understood how authority works. And he believed Jesus had the authority to heal.
Jesus has authority over us by right of creation and by right of rescue. He...

Emissary, by Thomas Locke (Revell, 2014)

Now, as Hyam reaches his coming-of-age birthday (21), his mother’s deathbed request sends him back to the Long Hall with a message. The unwelcome news he recei...
