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...

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

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...

Coram Deo

Coram Deo. This is a Latin phrase meaning "before the face of God." Sometimes we forget that we live Coram Deo, literally in front of God, right where He can see us. (Proverbs 5:21 & 15:3) Christians especially should be aware of this. I'm not saying that you need...
