“What must I do to inherit eternal life?” The rich ruler in this story came to Jesus with the wrong question.

Sometimes we tend to use this story as a sort of warning against the evils of riches, but that’s not entirely the point. Jesus does not say we cannot have nice things. We just don’t want to rely on them for our salvation or happiness. It’s impossible to do anything on our own, but with God anything is possible.

I am so thrilled to team up with one of my favorite people - Amy from Raising Arrows! Last week, Amy told me of her wonderful idea for 'Listening Pages.' I immediately knew it was a project I would love to work on. The concept of these Pages is to keep little ones engaged in the church service on Sunday mornings - from singing to the sermon to prayer.
