This week, Cole and Terry discuss the following passage and answer common questions and concerns. “There was a rich man who was clothed in purple and fine linen and who feasted sumptuously every day. 20 And at his gate was laid a poor man named Lazarus, covered with sores,21 who desired to be fed with what fell from the rich man’s table. Moreover, even the dogs came and licked his sores.22 The poor man died and was carried by the……

Only there is a condition of Jesus’ inheritance, you must choose to love God with all your heart, mind and soul and love others as you love yourself.Some inheritances’ do have conditions. It could be that the person can’t get the inheritance until they reach a certain age or sometimes in terms of property, it can’t be sold. It is up to the person giving the inheritance what terms and conditions will be set. In the case of Jesus, his inheritance is there, available to everyone and will be there forever.There is a song by Country Singer, Chris Janson called Good Vibes where one of the lyrics says, ‘I’m breathing on God’s time.’ This phrase got me thinking because I think the songwriter intends for us to be reminded that we gotta live life to the fullest, every second because there is no guarantee of tomorrow. Though it made me think that God’s breath is part of the inheritance too.Nothing else that God created got his breath. In the creation story in Genesis, God created the light and dark, the land and sky, the birds and fish, etc. Never in the scripture does it say, God breathed into them, except for Adam. When God created man, he breathed his breath into Adam making each of us created by God and in his image.So this makes me believe that I can pass on God’s inheritance to others, not by breathing on them but by sharing God with them. I can share it though my relationships, especially with my husband when we conceived our daughters. Then teaching them about God and raising them to have a relationship with him. The ultimate would then be for our daughters to pass on the inheritances of God and Jesus to others, including any children they bear. Though, we can see the riches of the inheritance in their lives each time we see them share and express love, compassion and mercy for others. It’s just another level of the inheritance God has given.No matter whether it is God’s, Jesus’ or another inheritance, it is not up to you what will be left behind. It is up to the person who is giving the inheritance to whom and what is given. In essence it also depends on what the person has to give. I pray those in my life find value in the inheritance I leave behind. It will certainly not be lots of money or tons of valuable property. Instead, what I hope to leave is my example of appreciating and taking care of God’s creations, my expressions of love through words and actions and my relationship with my BFF, Jesus.…

If God answered our prayers to return today, who might be lost that he plans to save tomorrow?…

But not all the Israelites accepted the good news (Romans 10:16a).…

Check out the So We Speak podcast on Apple Podcasts or Spotify. Luke can be a difficult gospel to read straight through. On this week’s podcast, Cole dubbed it the most likely to be your least favorite gospel. Regardless of where it is in your hierarchy, Luke showcases unique moments in Jesus’ life and ministry and emphasizes some themes that set it apart from the other gospels. Church tradition identifies Luke being a physician who was converted on one of Paul’s missionary journeys. He was a……
