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 Valentine

When Jesus came to die for our sins, He didn't come because He had to. No one made Him die. He wanted to pay for our sins because He loves us. He didn't pay for sin just so we can go to Heaven, it was also for God to have a relationship with us. He wants to love us,...

God’s Voice

I've been thinking about God's voice a lot lately. A little while back I had some Bible reading in the book of Job, and had reached the point where God was answering out of the whirlwind! (Starting in chapter 39.) God was not very happy at this point, and I can only...

A New Nature

God is good. He isn't this way because He has to be. God is good because that is His nature - that is who He is as a person. It flows from Him. He doesn't just do good because it is good to do good, He is good. We humans are not good. It is our nature to be evil and...

Obedience First

There will be plenty of times in life where we won't understand why God has said something. But understanding isn't the point; obedience is the point. Obedience must often come before understanding. You don't always understand until you go do what you were told....
