Send us a textDesperate circumstances have a way of driving us straight to Jesus. In Mark 5, we meet Jairus – a synagogue leader whose beloved 12-year-old daughter lies dying. His position, knowledge, and resources prove worthless against death's approach, so he does the unthinkable: he throws himself at Jesus' feet in total surrender.As Jesus agrees to help, the crowd presses in from all sides. Suddenly, everything stops. A woman with a 12-year blood condition has touched Jesus' garment and been instantly healed. While this interruption might seem cruel considering Jairus' urgency, it serves a profound purpose. Before Jairus faces the devastating news that his daughter has died, he witnesses firsthand Jesus' power over incurable conditions.When messengers arrive with the worst news a parent could hear, Jesus immediately counters: "Don't be afraid, only believe." Upon reaching the house, professional mourners create chaos with their wailing. Jesus declares the girl is merely sleeping, not dead – and is met with scornful laughter. After removing the skeptics, Jesus takes the girl by the hand and speaks seven world-changing words: "Little girl, I say to you, arise."This story transcends its historical context to speak directly to our spiritual condition. Many of us are walking in spiritual death – separated from God and manifesting symptoms like pride, despair, hatred, or addiction. The noise of competing voices drowns out the simple truth: Jesus offers resurrection power to dead souls. Just as He counted the parents' faith sufficient for their daughter's physical resurrection, He extends His hand to us now.Jesus' invitation remains open: "Don't be afraid, only believe."

I'm pleased to say that we have completed a new book that has been years in the making. The Ten Shirot: Songs of Redemption looks at ten songs that were sung through pivotal times in Scripture.
