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...

Expecting the Unexpected

When God works He often does something no one expected. When God promised Abraham a son, Abraham and his wife were well past child-bearing age. One of the times the children of Israel needed deliverance in the book of Judges, God called a poor, unsure man, and pared...

Immanent God

We sometimes treat our relationship with God as if it is long distance. So we treat prayers like phone calls, or e-mails, or sending a message by dove. But we are not in a long distance relationship with God! If you are saved, God is immanent - He is within you. In...

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...
