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...

Standing Together

We talk about the Shoes of Peace, but let's not forget they are also for "the preparation of the gospel of peace." They are for readiness. But that's the next post. This one is about the peace part, which does connect. One of the remarkable things about the physical...

Heavy Stuff

We're getting to more armor pieces! The kiddos learned about the Breastplate of Righteousness last night, and the ladies are learning about it today! But let's talk about how heavy armor is. If you want strong armor, it needs to be heavy armor. You'll need multiple...

Girded with Truth

So far I am still loving the ladies' Bible study! This last session we learned about being girded with truth and having a strong core. Being girded implies wearing a belt. It can also imply the tucking of a long robe into the belt so the wearer can run with agility...

The Tricks of the Devil

Last night the little kids learned more about the armor of God. They learned that you wear it so you can fight against Satan, because he'll try to trick you. How does the devil trick us? He makes us think that we'll be forever happy with something that won't really...
