“Can anything ever separate us from Christ’s love?  Does it mean he no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or threatened with death?  (As the Scriptures say, “For your sake we are killed every day; we are being slaughtered like sheep.”)  No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who...

“And as Jesus was returning, the people welcomed Him, for they had all been waiting for Him.  And a man named Jairus came, and he was an official of the synagogue; and he fell at Jesus’ feet and began urging Him to come to his house; for he had an only daughter, about twelve years old, and she was dying.  But as He went, the crowds were pressing against Him.” “While He was still...

They sailed on to the country of the Gerasenes, directly opposite Galilee.  As he stepped out onto land, a madman from town met him; he was a victim of demons.  He hadn’t worn clothes for a long time, nor lived at home; he lived in the cemetery.  When he saw Jesus he screamed, fell before him, and howled, “What business do you have messing with me? You’re Jesus, Son of the High God, but...

“When you do something for someone else, don’t call attention to yourself.  You’ve seen them in action, I’m sure— ‘playactors’ I call them—treating prayer meeting and street corner alike as a stage, acting compassionate as long as someone is watching, playing to the crowds.  They get applause, true, but that’s all they get.  When you help someone out, don’t think about how...
