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...

Church Camp Notes

I've been to church camp twice, and for whatever reason I have found my notes from camp two years ago. I'll share some pieces with you. If you are going to love God you should know Him. If you are going to hate God you should know Him. You will either love God or hate...

Witty Conviction

I've picked up a few witty yet convicting phrases from many people and experiences throughout the course of my life. I would like to share some with you. Do you keep resentments parked in your grudge? Is Jesus your spare tire or your steering wheel? All means all, and...

Logic and Emotion

Sometimes we talk about logic and emotion as if they are complete opposites. But God gave you both of them, and He made them to work together. Unfortunately they don't always agree, though at other times they actually do agree with each other. But as much as you might...

Skills and Talents

When I was little I saw that people who were good at something were told they should go to school for it. Someone good at art was told, "Hey, this is really good. You should take art classes." Someone good at singing was told, "You have a gorgeous voice, you should...
