Heaping Coals of Fire

In Romans 12:20, we see the apostle Paul referencing Proverbs 25:21-22. In a modern Western way of thinking, the term "heap coals of fire on his head" gives me the idea that I'm exacting some type of vengeance or convicting with shame by being kind to people I don't...

Jesus and Failure and Betrayal

At my church we've been going through the book of Mark, and in the past few weeks we've been coming closer and closer to the cross. Jesus has just had His last meal with His disciples (which was something very important to both them and Jesus, even though the...

A Bit on Biblical Context and My Opinions and Choices

Refreshing People

Have you ever met someone or a group of people that you connected with almost immediately? Have you ever met anyone who has enough similarities to understand you, but enough differences to bring out the best in you? Have you ever met people who are so refreshing that...
