Wash Feet

Last updated on: April 5, 2012 at 1:00 am By Ragan Sutterfield

Today is Maunday Thursday, the day we remember Christ’s model of ultimate service. As an act of humility and service wash someone’s feet. Many churches will offer foot washing services today, so if yours does not, look for one that does or organize a foot washing within your own community. Read more

Clear the Money Changers

Last updated on: April 2, 2012 at 6:31 am By Ragan Sutterfield

The money changers were more than just a commercialization of the house of God–they were set up in the only area of the temple open to non-Jews. The commercial activity of the temple courtyard was then a disregard for the worship of God by gentiles. How do our own actions to fulfill the needs of insiders prevent the worship of outsiders? Sit and imagine Christ coming to the Christian communities of today. Whose tables would he overturn? Who would he... Read more

Don’t Complain

Last updated on: March 29, 2012 at 5:50 am By Ragan Sutterfield

Complaining places our focus in the wrong places–it is no call to prophetic justice or kingdom building speech. Complaining focuses primarily on ourselves, our unmet expectations, our petty grievances. Watch what you say today and pray that God will give you the grace not to complain. Meditate on Colossians 4:6–“Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.” Read more
