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 Job, Not Yours

God Controls Change

Yesterday my church had a send-off fellowship for a man and his family. While he, his wife, and their children are greatly loved and appreciated here, God has called him to serve in a different church. This man and his wife are leaving some important positions open...

Just Someone Else’s Opinion

Recently I've posted about how weird Christianity can sound to people who don't know what's going on. Allow me to expand on that a little, but not necessarily to Christians this time. If you don't believe in God, then Christianity is going to sound weird to you. It...
