Compassion more than all our doing

Posted on June 29, 2021 by Mel Wild

Jesus tell us that showing compassion trumps all our sacrifice. That’s an amazing statement when you think about it. It actually turns religion on its head, for religious ritual is all about sacrifice and self-denial. But Jesus’ way is the … Continue reading →

The antidote to crazy

Posted on June 24, 2021 by Mel Wild

What does one do when the world around you seems to have gone insane? Contemplating it can make us feel hopeless. Some of my Christian brothers and sisters may just shrug and say it’s just proof that Jesus is coming … Continue reading →

He knows where we left us

Posted on May 27, 2021 by Mel Wild

I’ve been loving The Chosen TV series. They’re in season two now. The last installment was episode five, which featured John the Baptist and Mary Magdalene. I want to focus in on Mary Magdalene (played by Elizabeth Tabish) because, according … Continue reading →

Mercy always triumphs

Posted on May 26, 2021 by Mel Wild

I’ve been talking about heart language. We receive everything from God through the heart, and we’re to connect with others through the heart. Our minds are to be renewed in order to receive what our heart already knows. The problem … Continue reading →

Harvest of the Heart

Posted on May 21, 2021 by Mel Wild

I’ve been talking about loving our Samaritans. I believe God is prophetically calling us to our Samaritans right now. The “Samaritans” are the “them” in the “us vs. them” polarized world we live in. They’re on the other side of … Continue reading →

Dining with Jesus

Posted on April 27, 2021 by Mel Wild

We’ve been looking at Jesus and the Samaritan woman at the well. In my post, “The Seventh Husband,” we saw that this woman’s “five husbands” symbolize our trying to find life and fulfillment through our five senses, but they cannot … Continue reading →

God of the Instead

Posted on April 21, 2021 by Mel Wild

In this world we will have trouble and sorrow—we’ll be misunderstood, rejected, taken advantage of, maybe even abused. This is why we can relate to the Samaritan woman in John 4. We love this story because Jesus doesn’t leave us … Continue reading →

The “Seventh Husband”

Posted on April 19, 2021 by Mel Wild

Why do we do what we do? And what is it we’re really looking for? Is it not to fill some need? It seems to me that even the things that enslave us are because we’re looking for something valid, … Continue reading →

Learning how to love like Jesus

Posted on April 14, 2021 by Mel Wild

“Who is my neighbor?” That’s what the religious scholar asked Jesus in Luke 10:29.  What follows is a fascinating study in human nature. Last time, I talked about “Loving our Samaritans.” This is a continuation on that theme. In Luke … Continue reading →

Loving our Samaritans

Posted on April 10, 2021 by Mel Wild
