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...

Making Time

Sometimes when changes happen in your life, the things you normally do might slip through the cracks. My blog has been slipping through cracks lately, but I'm going to figure out how to keep going on a regular schedule (even if it's modified) because it's important to...

God Moving Like a Breeze

Observable, Measurable, Usable, Relatable

God gave us the ability to observe, understand, and get in on the secrets of His creation. Animals don't know the deep intricacies of creation's workings, nor do they care. But we humans care and have the ability to notice that the universe has order, that it has...

The Unforgivable Sin

As I wrote the previous post (Last Chance), it reminded me of a sermon from a few weeks ago in church. That sermon was about the one sin that God cannot forgive, from what Jesus said in Mark 3:22-30. Jesus had been doing miracles, and in this specific case He had...

Last Chance

Yesterday our pastor was speaking somewhere else, so one of our other teachers preached the sermons. Last night he talked about something very sad: There are times when you can use up your last chance with God. In Numbers 13-14, we see the children of Israel have...

Defending God

Technically God doesn't need us to defend Him. That doesn't mean that apologetics - the explanation of what we believe and why we believe it - is wrong, it just means that God isn't helpless. If He was helpless, how could He be God, and why would we believe in or even...
