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...

Purpose

You have never met anyone that isn't important. You don't even look in the mirror at someone who isn't important. Telling someone they are useless or purposeless is one of the dirtiest lies you can ever tell. Whether you tell it to someone else or to yourself, it is a...

Green Pastas and a Special Diet

The 2 and 3 year old class combined with the 4 and 5 year old class last night. We learned about God being our Good Shepherd, and the kids are learning to say Psalm 23. They're on verse 2. When it came time to recite this verse, there were variations on the wording....
