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...

Why Is That Scary?

I know that you should have a "healthy fear" of some things so that you don't hurt yourself with stupidity, but there are some things that people are afraid of for what looks like no reason. I don't understand why some people afraid of the things that they are. I'm...
