A Bit on Biblical Context and My Opinions and Choices

Each verse in the Bible has a greater context around it. Each chapter in the Bible has a greater context around it. Each book in the Bible has a greater context around it. If you don't take the whole context into context, you're very likely to miss important truths...

Alabaster and Spikenard

In Mark 14:3-9, we see a woman displaying an act of full and pure devotion for Jesus. I'm quite familiar with this account, but recently in church I learned more details about why this was such a big deal. I did a little Internet searching on my own and learned a few...

Advice from Pastors

More to Life, Part 5

(Previously: More to Life, Part 4) Final part in the series. Thanks for reading! In the last part I talked about our shortcomings as created beings and how our Creator has set up a way to fix things. Our shortcomings are due to our free will in the first place, but...

More to Life, Part 4

(Previously: More to Life, Part 3) So what do we do about this pride? Because it is indeed a problem. It is the root of all the evil we commit, the common denominator we all have. When we feel entitled, we disregard others. Have you seen an entitled human making...
