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...

You Don’t Know

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...

Bad News and Good News

The Gospel is the Good News. But this news isn't really that good until you know the bad news. The bad news offends people. The bad news is that all people are wicked. We're all naturally evil, no ifs, ands, or buts. Why do you need to know the bad news before the...

Jesus, and Peter’s Mother in Law

Last night in the sermon, one of the things mentioned was Jesus healing Peter's mother in law. (Luke 4:38-39) This scene looks somewhat humorous in my mind. Peter's mother in law was dying of a fever, so Jesus rebukes the fever and it leaves. The fever is immediately...
