Good news for a bad woman!
When Jesus broke all Jewish convention by traveling through Samaria to go from Judea to Galilee (see The Gospel smashes through prejudice!), He did so in order to meet a woman. John 4:6-7 (NKJV) Now Jacob’s well was there. Jesus … Continue reading

Confessing to one another
I’m a pretty private person. I don’t particularly like sharing the details of my private life with other people, especially when something negative has occurred. Yet the Bible teaches me that there are times when I need to do exactly … Continue reading

God knows all about us, and loves us anyway!
When Jesus met the woman at the well in Samaria, He got right into her business! When He asked her to go call her husband, and she replied that she didn’t have a husband, Jesus let her know He knew … Continue reading
