Just Wondering

I have things about the Bible that I wonder sometimes. They're not doctrinally important so the Bible doesn't give answers, so I just wonder for fun. If you're curious, here are a few. In the book of Ruth, was Ruth's and Boaz's relationship as romantic as my 21st...

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 Few Thoughts

I've had a few things on my mind lately, and in case you wanted to read them I'll put them here. Whether it's a sin or a virtue, it is unhealthy to deny something about yourself or pretend it isn't there. Denying a sin means you won't confront and get rid of it....

Random Descriptions from the Bible

Lately I've been thinking about all the different things in the Bible, and figured I'd list a few random ones and see if you can guess who the people are and where in the Bible the accounts are found. I'll put the Scripture references in parentheses at the end of each...

A Bit on Homelessness

We've been having a seminar at my church about ministering to the homeless. I thought I'd share some of the things I've learned after two sessions. Homelessness isn't the problem, it's the symptom. Most homeless people have some sort of mental health issue and/or...

Older Phone Notes

I went scrolling through some older notes in my phone today, and I thought I'd share. You speak boldly about what you believe deeply. Anything we use to get closer to God is an idol. We do not need anything to get closer to God; He has already made Himself perfectly...

Fishers of Men and the Fish We Catch

Jesus calls us, just like He called His disciples, to be "fishers of men" (Matthew 4:19, Mark 1:17). We are to cast our nets far and wide to reach people with the Gospel, the good news of what Jesus has done. This past week my church has had someone come to speak on...
