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 Summary Look Back Before Going Forward

I've been in Deuteronomy in my daily Bible reading lately. Here Moses is giving the children of Israel a summary of what's happened to them since they left Egypt (Exodus, Leviticus, and Numbers) before they head into the Promised Land. He's reminding them of the...

Rest and Sleep

If you're one of my family or friends who likes to stay up too late or just doesn't get enough sleep because of your habits, you'll likely have heard me tell you, "Go to bed," or "Go to sleep." Sometimes I'll tell you in a different language if you didn't listen the...

On Building Walls

I'm not trying to be political, just in case you were wondering. I'm just going to talk about the different times when boundaries are good and when they are not. Many walls have been built historically. A few that come to mind are the Berlin Wall, the Great Wall of...

“Keep Your Religion to Yourself”

A lot of people don't like religion in any form. A lot of people just don't like Christianity specifically. I have noticed a lot of people are okay with other religions, but Christianity is the one religion you should keep to yourself. Now I am aware that some people...

The Edge of the Universe

God made the universe and everything in it (Genesis 1:1-2:3), and holds it all together (Colossians 1:16-17). The size of God's creation is enormously huge. Sometimes I wonder if we'll ever get to see all of it. As far as we humans have looked, and assuming God made...
