The sins of some are obvious, reaching the place of judgment ahead of them; the sins of others trail behind them. In the same way, good deeds are obvious, and even those that are not obvious cannot remain hidden forever. 1 Timothy 5:24-25 New International Version (NIV) You know you aren’t doing enough to shine…
But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display his immense patience as an example for those who would believe in him and receive eternal life. ~1 Timothy 1:16 (New International Version)~ The closer we get to God, the more often we find ourselves…
Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might break the power of him who holds the power of death—that is, the devil— and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death. ~Hebrews 2:14-15 (New International Version,…

I’ve been thinking about some of the things I’ve heard in church about how Jesus befriended the tax collectors and…
