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

Sometimes it helps to think of the universe like a box. So far we don't know how big the box is, but it is filled with all sorts of wonderful, mysterious, terrifying, beautiful things to observe and enjoy! If you have a box then you know there is both an inside and an...
