Text: Scriptures: Luke 7:1-10

Thought to Remember:  Will Jesus ever marvel at You?

The Challenge: The centurion’s example teaches that strong faith and great humility are entirely compatible. Despite his high rank and the Jewish elders' consideration of him "worthy" for his generosity (having built their synagogue), the centurion viewed himself as completely unworthy.

The Challenge is your worthiness. How many individuals believe in the sliding scale approach, in which the amount of generosity provides one of favor from God?

Lesson Learner: The centurion’s example shows that faith can stand as a proxy for others. The servant is not recorded as having faith himself; rather, it was the centurion’s petition and belief that secured the miracle. This lesson teaches that believers can intercede for others—even those who are "ready to die" or “unable to help themselves”—and God honors that faith.

Beyond the Otherside

I present the same Biblical truth on this website from a different perspective. Although God’s word remains unchanged, our experiences can provide new viewpoints. Therefore, I intend to develop a series of eBooks to share my reflections with you. I have held two careers: 33 years in the Army Reserves, reaching the rank of Colonel, and 43 years in higher education as an administrator. Due to my various leadership roles, I possess a broad range of experience working with Soldiers and students of all ages. I have observed numerous incidents that I have valued over the years. Now, I am applying those experiences to Kingdom work at the OLM School of Ministry as an instructor and administrator.
