Oswald Chambers writes, “Eternal Life has nothing to do with time.”* This is a hard concept for us to digest. We are driven by time, so to imagine that the promise for eternal life has nothing to do with time is . . . well, it’s unimaginable! So, if it is not a reference to

We are a suspicious lot, we humans. We suspect that good things—really good things—are probably not true. Many of us live by the adage If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. And so we naturally doubt. When you peel it all away, when you break it all down, we just

TRUE STORY I decided to get the car washed. I mean really washed, so I went to the neighborhood establishment. A uniformed woman greeted me and asked if I wanted the interior and exterior cleaned.

John writes about “a woman who had been caught in adultery.”1 The scribes and Pharisees brought her to Jesus as he was teaching in the temple. Obviously, they did this to shame her and to trap Jesus into contradicting himself. “And placing her in the midst they said to him, ‘Teacher, this woman has been
