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...

Don’t Fear; Do Remember

I was reading through my Bible reading yesterday, and I was caught on Deuteronomy 7:17-19. Here God is telling Israel to go in and conquer the land that He is giving them. God tells them that if they feel too small and inadequate, they should not be afraid. They...

Show Me

I've heard a lot of people say some very good and important things. But just because you can say a lot of good and important things doesn't mean that you live by the things you say. We can know all the right answers to say in Sunday school, but our lives will show if...

Pick Up the Ball and Get Back on the Horse

It's past the time of year that people usually give up on their New Year's resolutions. But just because you give up on something doesn't mean that you can't ever pick it up again. Just because you failed or messed up doesn't mean that you can't try again. It may not...

We’ve Yet to See King and Country

Have you ever noticed how God does things in a different order than we do? For example, when a person believes in Jesus as Lord and the Son of God, God makes them a citizen of a place they've never been and a representative of a King they haven't physically seen! Do...
