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...

God’s Voice Inside

Recently I've been asking God to teach me how to hear His voice more clearly. It's not that I can't hear Him, but I want to be able to pick His voice out in a crowd, so to speak. In all the voices I hear every day including my own, I want to be able to pick up on...

Just Ask

There are places in the Bible where it tells us that if we want something we can simply ask God for it. That's it. Just ask. Look at Matthew 21:22; John 16:23-24; James 1:5. You just ask, knowing that God is good and will give you what you need. Ask in faith, ask...

Different People

In the Bible God tells His people that they are different, and should behave themselves so. We as Christians are to be very different from the world around us. This might cause people to wonder what planet we're from, but God calls us to be different because He calls...

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,...
