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...

The One Who Gave You the Shield Is Big Enough

In Ephesians 6, Paul tells us to take up the Shield of Faith. This shield is big enough and strong enough to protect us from the oncoming enemy and his flaming javelins. Taking up the shield by having faith is important. Faith is putting action to your belief. Do you...

Shoes of Peace Are for Moving Forward

We call them the Shoes of Peace, but let's not forget that Paul says "the preparation of the gospel of peace." These shoes are for peace and readiness. These shoes are for you to wear so you can readily share the gospel, the good news! These shoes are for steady...
