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...

Perspective Higher Than Mountains

When you stand on a mountain in life, you can see the next mountain over the valley. The path through the valley between may seem clear, or you may not be able to see it through the trees and shadows. Either way, you may think you have one path, but when you get down...

Hide and Seek

God has spoken in Scripture. He has given His general revelation to all. He has shown us what He sounds like there. So since God never leads contrary to what He has said in the Bible, when He speaks to us with specific direction we'll know it is He who is speaking....
