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...

Gaining Wisdom

Notes on Worship

I found a few notes I've recorded about worship and thought I should share. Man was made to be religious. Humans are spiritual beings and if we do not worship God, we will worship something else. Be careful that you don't worship the gift over the Giver. To obey is...

Attaining Maturity

When we're little kids we just can't wait until we're big kids. They get to have all the fun, because they're mature enough to do certain things all by themselves. They even get to wear big kid underpants with Batman on them! We want to attain what they have, and when...
