Seeing God

May 18, 2015May 28, 2020 ~ Kim Blenkhorn ~ Leave a comment

The other night, a Christian sister and I were discussing a popular worship song.  Suddenly, her face got serious and her tone changed.  She said, “You know, what I heard about that song….” I spoke up, “don’t tell me if it’s going to ruin the song for me.” automatically, I assumed it was negative news, … Continue reading Seeing God

The Daniel Fast

March 4, 2013March 4, 2013 ~ Kim Blenkhorn ~ Leave a comment

The book I am using as a guide through a 21 day Daniel fast. I am starting this fast one week from yesterday. This will be my second time on this fast. I hope to be more disciplined on this fast then previously. Fasting was and is used as a means to humble and purify … Continue reading The Daniel Fast

The color of worth

February 24, 2013March 2, 2013 ~ Kim Blenkhorn ~ Leave a comment

MY whole life this picture hung in our living room.  I never thought too much about it, like so many things in  childhood, it was just part of the scenery like the sun, or the cherry tree in our back yard, or the weird neighbors that kept their shades closed all day , every day. … Continue reading The color of worth

Kingdom Coming (Luke 17:20-37) 

Kingdom Coming (Luke 17:20-37) 

The Pharisees ask a question that prompts Jesus’ teaching about his return: “When is the kingdom of God coming?” Without extensive study, it is difficult to know precisely how the Pharisees processed the kingdom of God. While we often think of the “kingdom” as a New Testament concept, its roots are deeply embedded in the […]

Go Your Way (Luke 17:11-19)

Go Your Way (Luke 17:11-19)

Jesus is walking the borderlands—the space between Samaria and Galilee—when ten men appear. They do not approach. They cannot. They stand at a distance, bodies marked, voices raised, shouting the only prayer they have left:“Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.” The village is unnamed, but it does not need a name. It may have been […]

The Rich Man and Lazarus (Luke 16:19–20)

The Rich Man and Lazarus (Luke 16:19–20)

The rich man and Lazarus is about compassion, mercy, the afterlife, reaping and sowing, wealth and repentance.  The rich man was not able to secure a place in heaven through his ancestry or his wealth. The Pharisees were known for their love of money, pride, and status. Jesus draws a direct comparison between the rich […]

The Mulberry Tree Parable (Luke 17)

The Mulberry Tree Parable (Luke 17)

Jesus begins with a severe warning: “Woe to the one who causes others to stumble. It would be better for him to have a millstone hung around his neck and be thrown into the sea.” He immediately follows with a demanding command: “If your brother sins, rebuke him. If he repents, forgive him.” At first […]

The Prodigal: A Story for the Religious (Luke 13-15)

The Prodigal: A Story for the Religious (Luke 13-15)

The parable of the prodigal son has been retold countless times, often as a story about wayward sinners returning to God. But in its original context, it is primarily a message to the Pharisees and religious leaders—a challenge to their understanding of devotion, righteousness, and compassion. Jesus tells a series of parables in succession, building […]
