Mary’s Anointing of Jesus

Scripture records different anointings of Jesus by Mary. They seem to be different. Why the discrepancy?

In Matthew and Mark, we see that Mary anointed Jesus two days before the Passover. Then, in John, we read that Mary anointed Jesus six days before the Passover. This seems like an obvious discrepancy. Is it?

Mary’s Lineage

Was Mary a direct descendant of David?

Mary’s lineage has long been disputed. Some say she’s a direct descendant of David, because Jesus was to be of David’s lineage. Others say that Jesus was a descendant of David because Joseph was of the lineage of David. But Peter says (quoting Psalm 132:11) that Jesus was to come from the fruit of David’s body. And some say Mary was a Levite because she was related to Elizabeth. What’s really going on?

Christmas is Coming

A poem about the true meaning of Christmas. Are you focused on money? Gifts? Santa? Lights? Forget about that stuff & remember Jesus.

This poem reminds us that Christmas isn’t just about blowing money. It’s not about going into debt, about giving the most or getting the most, or about Santa Claus. It’s about the Jesus of the Bible, the One who came to earth to give us eternal life. Let’s try keeping our focus where it belongs this Christmas season.

Charan’s Christian Testimony

Don’t ever give up praying for your lost loved ones. God may yet work a miracle in their lives.

It’s easy to give up praying for someone when you’ve prayed for oh-so-long and the only answer is silence. It’s easy to ask the question, “God, why are you ignoring me? Why can’t you reveal yourself?”

Charan’s testimony reminds us never to stop praying for our loved ones that don’t know the Jesus of the Bible. Continue praying. God will hear and He will honor your commitment and perseverance.
