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...

Meekness

In church we've been going through the fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23). Last night we studied about meekness. Here is a mix of my notes and my thoughts on them. In the Bible, the words translated "meek" have to do with gentleness, mildness, and humility. Being...

Did you know you can talk to God about anything? I don't mean figuratively, abstractly, or in hyperbole, I mean literally, actually, and absolutely. You can talk to God about ANYTHING. God already knows what's going on and how you feel and what you think, but that...

As Much As You Will

Last night's sermon was about holiness, but something else also caught my mind. There was a quote from Scottish Bible expositor Alexander MacLaren: "We may have as much of God as we will. Christ puts the key of the treasure-chamber into our hand, and bids us take all...

God Knows Your Mind

God knows, sees, and hears everything. He made all of it and is not bound by any of it, so of course He knows everything about all of the things. God knows and loves you, and cares about who you are and what you do. I thought of something particularly convicting...

Of More Value Than Many Sparrows

Jesus says in the Bible that God knows all about the sparrows, and that if He knows about the sparrows, think of how much He knows about you. (Matthew 10:29-31; Luke 12:6-7) As a side note, I notice Jesus said this after talking about who you should and should not...
