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...

Use Your Words Wisely

We all use words, whether spoken and written or not. You can tell a lot about someone by how they use their words. Their actions will speak louder, of course, but words will still tell you quite a bit (Luke 6:45). In James 3, we read about the tongue and the mouth....

Holiness and Happiness

God doesn't want you to be happy. There, that's a good way to start! God doesn't want you to be happy, He wants you to be holy. You should be more like God every day. You should consciously walk with Him every day. You should grow in faith and wisdom. Listen to Him,...

Be Still and Know

The sermon yesterday morning was from Psalm 46. I want to share part of my notes on verse 10. "Be still" - Let go, let your hands down. Relax. "And know" - You relax so you can learn more about God. You let go to know. Be still so you can know. This verse means that...

Healing Wounds

Some say that time heals all wounds. Some say time heals nothing, it merely brings a scar and less pain. I say only the Great Physician can heal all wounds. Does healing still take time? Yes. Anything worthwhile takes time. Will you still have a scar? That depends on...
