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 Prodigal Son and His Brother

Read Luke 15:11-32. You may already be familiar with it, but please read it anyway. The father in this story of course represents God. He will forgive and rejoice when His children return to Him. It doesn't matter how long you've been away or how much you've wasted,...

Be Careful, Little Eyes, What You See

There is a children's song in church (to the tune of "If You're Happy and You Know It") that goes: Oh be careful, little eyes, what you see. Oh be careful, little eyes, what you see. For the Father up above is looking down in love, Oh be careful, little eyes, what you...

A Wondrous Thing! – Conception

Have you ever just stopped and thought about what it means for someone to be conceived? It means that God has seen fit to create a new soul to exist in the world! God creates - out of nothing!- another soul! It means God makes another human being to love! God wants to...

Hands Full of Cookies

I was watching some children earlier, and my goodness do they love cookies! They love them so much, that they like to have at least two, but preferably as many as they can hold in both hands. Sometimes they'll want more cookies even if they already have one that they...

Reading the Word and Hearing the Voice

I wrote earlier this week on God's voice being in His word, the Bible (God's Voice in His Word). I want to continue by giving a reminder that while you must read God's Word to know His voice, reading God's Word is not the same as hearing His voice. In the Bible Jesus...

God’s Voice in His Word

Sometimes we don't realize how big of a deal it is that God's voice is in the Bible! God's voice has been written down! Through the Bible God reveals His voice to us. He shows us what He is like and how He thinks through the words that He inspired others to write. And...
