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

Each verse in the Bible has a greater context around it. Each chapter in the Bible has a greater context around it. Each book in the Bible has a greater context around it. If you don't take the whole context into context, you're very likely to miss important truths...

So Many Thoughts!

I'm writing this on Sunday night after church. I can't even sit down to eat because I have so much in my head! It has been a rather eventful yet very fun-filled Sunday. I was the only teacher in the 2 and 3 year old class this morning and taught about Noah's Ark, I...

Oh, the Hypocrisy!

I'm writing this post for me, but I hope God gives you something out of it, too. I've been on a hypocrisy kick lately. I'm starting to see hypocrisy more than I'd like, even (and sometimes especially) in people that I never thought would be this way. I know we're all...
