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...

The Cost of Maintenance

Freedom isn't free. We all know that, and we like to say it a lot. Freedom's price is often the blood of those who seek it. It is bought by people who never got to enjoy it, but gave up their freedom so someone else could have it. But sometimes we forget that freedom...

Lord of My Life

When Jesus saves you, He redeems you; He purchases you back. You were already His because He made you, then He bought you back from the slavery of sin. So now you belong to Him twice! Isn't that awesome? (1 Corinthians 6:12-20, specifically vs. 19-20) So when Jesus...

Studying the Bible

As children of God we should pay attention to what our Father says to us. An enormous part of that means we need to know the Bible that God wrote. While we should read all of it, I don't mean to say do it just once and never again. Reading the Bible regularly is...

Backwards or Forwards?

There are a lot of things that God does that seem backwards to us. But considering that God is the one doing them, He must be doing them correctly. For example when someone agrees with God about their sin, repents of it, believes in God, and gives Him control of their...
