Foreword:

Ever wonder what God might have to say to YOU today? Here are things to ponder, and things to receive into your heart. If you have a question, put it in the comments. I respond as much as I can.

A note for all my readers: I've been experimenting with YouTube videos for Bible teaching, and now I'm working my way through the New Testament. I encourage you to subscribe to my YouTube channel for better coverage. I'm still writing, of course, and my written posts appear here.

Jesus and his relatives:

Want to be Jesus' closest friend? Or have Him be your closest friend?

Here's a simple formula from the New Testament:
Matthew 12:49-50 , Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?
49 And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!
50 For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.

Jesus' point is pretty obvious: Loyalty to Him pays the greatest of all rewards. we get to be family.  Why not follow Him today?
