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...

Sometimes I Wonder

I wonder all the time. But not everything all the time, since that would overload my brain. But I do wonder a lot of different things at a lot of different times. I've tried to shorten the list so you don't have to sit here and read for hours. I wonder what God looks...

Actions and Words

Profound and Obvious – Part 2

I didn't know I'd have a second part to Profound and Obvious, but here it is. You cannot give what you do not have. You cannot teach what you have not learned. If you don't let God lead you, someone else will lead you. If the boat rocks too much you could fall out;...

More Than You Can Handle

I've heard it said, "God will never give you more than you can handle." While I understand a little of the idea behind that statement, I also find the statement itself wrong. God will give you plenty more than you can handle. But He will also be there to help you...

Praying for ALL

Sunday during the sermon we read and learned about prayer from 1 Timothy 2:1-8. Not that we haven't ever learned about prayer before, but sometimes it helps to be reminded. For example, there are different ways of praying that are all important. Right from verse 1,...

Forgiving Yourself

Sometimes we let ourselves get away with a lot of things, but if someone else does those same things we point it out to them rather emphatically. But sometimes we let the offenses of others slide easier than we will let our own. For me, I know who I am and exactly...
