Very fitting passage for an Alzheimer''s patient.

What I need is material for church services in nursing homes. The congregation there needs a different type of message than I give at church.

Excellent view point. good examples.

The explanation of fairness versus grace was helpful and gets at the heart of the parable. However I would disagree with the closing illustration of the two brothers who responded differently to God's call in terms of obedience and yet received the exact same reward in heaven. I fully believe our salvation comes unmerited and upon the basis of God's grace alone. However Scripture seems to teach that the believer's reward for service is based upon the believer's level of obedience and sacrifice. Matt. 16:27 says, "For the Son of Man is going to come in the glory of His Father with His angels; and will then recompense every man according to his deeds." Rev 22:12 echoes the same truth within the same context.

I appreciated the solid Biblical basis for this wedding devotional. I am working on a wedding service today and needed to get some ideas to start the "juices" flowing. Thanks.

The man speaks the truth thats for sure. I enjoyed it.
