Glory, Irony, and a Crying Savior

I'm late to write this blog, but this time it feels like more of a good thing than usual because I have some things to share from the sermon tonight that I might not have shared this soon otherwise. We were in Mark 15:15-32. The crucifixion of Christ has some glorious...

In Court and On Trial

A few days ago someone was talking about how God is the judge in the courtroom of life, and we can try to put Him on trial as if we're the judge, but we can't do that because we're not the judge. Then I started thinking about what it looks like when people try to...

A Heavenly, “Oh!”

There are a lot of things about and in the Bible we don't understand. God didn't give us exact and precise details, but He did tell us all we need to know. That doesn't stop us from being curious and forming ideas, like how it looked when God created the world and...
