Summary

Jesus grew full of wisdom and God's grace. After getting separated on a trip to Jerusalem, Mary and Joseph found him in the temple asking questions of the teachers of the law. All those who heard him were astounded at his understanding and his answers to their questions. When asked why we was where he was doing what he was doing, Jesus responds that it was necessary for him to be in his Father's house! And Luke tells us that he continued in obedience to grow in wisdom and stature and favour with God and men.Even as a boy, Jesus demonstrates for us the single-minded devotion that we should have towards matters of the Kingdom. It is necessary for all of us to be in our Father's house, in our Father's world, about our Father's business. How many other things are we prioritizing above this? And how much is that stunting our growth? How destructive is that? Because obedience leads to flourishing! We can be about our Father's business because Jesus was. Jesus' obedience didn't end in childhood; he was obedient all the way even to death on a cross. And his obedience leads to our flourishing! ⁠

Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, A by Mark Twain (1835 - 1910) LibriVox Come and hear the strange tale of The Boss Hank Morgan, a modern day (at the time of publication) Connecticut Yankee who inexplicably finds himself transported to the court of the legendary King Arthur (as the title of the book implies). Hank, or simply, The Boss, as he comes to be most frequently known, quickly uses his modern day knowledge and education to pass himself off as a great magician, to get himself out of all sorts of surprising, (and frequently amusing) situations, as well as to advance the technological and cultural status of the nation in which he finds himself.In the rather un-subtle sub-text of the story, Twain uses The Boss to express a surprisingly pragmatic and frequently contradictory philosophy. The Boss explores the relative merits of Democracy, and Monarchy, he expresses his views on the “Nature v. Nurture” debate, he frequently speaks forcefully against an established Church, but just as strongly advocates for religion and a variety of churches (jus Wizard, The by H. Rider Haggard (1856 - 1925) LibriVox Described by the author, best known for his King Solomon's Mines, as "a tale of victorious faith," this story begins on a Sunday afternoon in an English church. Most of the book, though, is set in Africa, and the adventure story is as engaging as any of Haggard's African tales. What makes this one different is the religious question: What has happened to miracles in the church? Is there any power left in Jesus' promise, "Whoso that believeth in me, the works that I do he shall do also, and whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do"?
