Jesus, Friend of Sinners

Sometimes I wonder, if Jesus were to come today like He did back then, or instead of back then, how comfortable would I be with Him? Would I like Him? Would any of us who claim to be His followers like Him? We love Jesus of course, but considering all the upset that...

A Bit More Advice

I've given advice before (A Little Advice, Introspective Advice, A Little More Advice), and while I'm not qualified to tell you what to do with your life, I can tell you some helpful things. God's idea is always better than yours. He sees all of time at once and knows...

Further Notes

I figured I'd share some of my notes again. Just because someone isn't doing their job is no excuse for you not to do yours. You don't have to prove others wrong to do what you know is right. When Abraham was "bargaining" with God in Genesis 18, it wasn't about...

Friendship with God

This is a bit connected to God's Feelings. God wants to have a relationship with us. God wants to be more than just our King and our Father, He wants to be our Friend. You spend time with a friend and get to know them, and they do the same with you. It goes both ways....

Thankful for Salvation

As I was praying in bed this morning, I was taking a little more time to thank God than usual. I thanked Him for everything that came to mind, big things and little things. As I prayed I realized that all the things I was thanking Him for were things that I don't...

God’s Feelings

In The One Year Hearing His Voice Devotional by Chris Tiegreen, I read the other day about our feelings connecting us with God. The Sunday School lesson yesterday added to what I'd found. God is not a detached, impassive being. He has emotions and feelings, and gave...

Trusting God with Others

In the sermon last Sunday evening one of our young men preached. He talked about when God told Abraham to sacrifice his son Isaac (Genesis 22:1-18), and how Abraham had to trust God not with his own life this time, but with his son's life. He pointed out that parents...

Living Like a Fool

The sermon yesterday morning prompted this post. In Psalm 14:1 we see that the fool says in his heart that there is no God. We find this verse quite easy to apply to atheists, but how many times have we Christians behaved and made decisions as if there is no God? We...

Charity

Sometimes my dad and I get to talking about charity and how helping others should be done by individuals. Not that charity organizations are bad, but when helping people becomes something that others do without your help, we tend to stop helping altogether. The word...
