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...

Well, That’s Inconvenient

Inevitably there will be some very inconvenient things that happen to you in life. Things can be going very well and suddenly come to a halt, or you may just have one thing after another, and another inconvenience on top of it. Whatever it is, it just so happens to be...

Easter Surprise!

Today is the day we celebrate the risen Savior! Jesus died for our sin, the sin that is such a big deal. But He didn't stay dead, or it would have been meaningless. He conquered death, and rose again on the third day! Now if we believe in Jesus, we will also rise...

Why Is Sin Such a Big Deal?

Why does God make such a big deal out of sin? Short answer: Because sin IS a big deal. But why is sin a big deal? That is a good question, and I’m glad someone asked. We humans don’t think of sin as that big of a deal because we see and hear it all the time. We were...

Hosanna!

Well, yesterday was Palm Sunday. It is the day we mark with Jesus' Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem. As Jesus rode on a young donkey, people put down palm branches for the donkey to walk over. The people cried, "Hosanna!" Hosanna has come to be a word of praise, but it...
