There are fewer more perplexing, misunderstood, misappropriated Commands in the Gospel than this.

Command #29 - Don't Be Anxious
Tuesday Jul 21, 2020
Tuesday Jul 21, 2020
It is sometimes difficult to know how to live in the practical reality of Jesus' admonition in the latter half of Matthew 6: Consider the birds of the air and the lilies of the field. They neither sow nor reap, yet your heavenly father cares for them. So don't worry about what you shall eat or drink. We are all familiar with his words. But do they not often sound just a little too idealistic?

Command #28 - Believe in Me
Tuesday Jul 14, 2020
Tuesday Jul 14, 2020
Jesus does not stop with commanding belief in general, not even belief in God. He zeroes in with yet more precision and specificity by also commanding belief in him. This further dismisses the notion that Christianity may be equated with being a kind person and trying to do good in the world. Those are good things. But they are not Christianity.
