Book Metaphors

I came across an entry in one of my notebooks, and it was good to be reminded that God is the Author of life, and He knows how to write and finish good stories. When life happens and things change, whether we like those things or not, we need to turn the page. And...

Looking Back Again

Round about a year ago, I was looking for a new job, a new place to live, and a new direction in my life. Now I have two jobs, a place to live, and enough direction to figure out where I should probably head from here. I'm probably going to sound like a broken record...

New Year, New Schedule

Once again, I find myself changing my blog schedule. I'll be posting my blogs on Tuesday, since my new schedule this year allows better writing time on that day. Speaking of new schedules, this past year has been full of changes for me. I went from one job to another,...

The Best Hug

Does it ever just get to you that one day if you're saved you will get to see Jesus face to face and in person? One day we'll get to physically be in the presence of Jesus! I can't even imagine what all it will be like! I can't get over it! One day I will be...

Writing Things Down

I write things down. Unless I'm sure I'll remember it, then I don't write it. And then promptly forget what I was supposed to remember. But when it comes to something just so witty, or an important piece of life advice, or something particularly important to remember,...

God has called His people to be very different. In the Old Testament we see Him giving laws to Israel while frequently mentioning that these laws are to set them apart from the other nations (Leviticus 20:25-26; Deuteronomy 7:5-6). They were different because God was...

God and Country

God and country are both important, but you can't have a country without God. God sets up and takes down whomever He chooses, both leaders and peoples (Psalm 75:6-7; Daniel 2:20-21, 4:17). The Bible talks about Israel as a nation and how things went well for them when...

Ahab and Jehoshaphat

In 1 Kings 22 and 2 Chronicles 18, we find Ahab king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah meeting together for battle against the Syrians. Ahab was one of the most ungodly kings that Israel had ever had. Jehoshaphat was one of the godlier kings that Judah had. So...

Nothing Without God

We Christians like to say things about how God gives us everything. We talk about how everything we have and everything we are comes from God and ultimately belongs to Him. We talk about how we are merely stewards, how God is letting us manage His stuff. But then we...
