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...

In Sunday School, the two and three year olds have been learning about Jesus feeding five thousand people (Matthew 14:13-21; Mark 6:32-44; Luke 9:10-17; John 6:1-13). A little boy shared his lunch with Jesus, and Jesus made a miracle. To see how much they've learned...

Equal, Same, Different

We talk a lot about equality. But sometimes we mix up equality and sameness as if they both mean the same thing. Sameness is when something is identical to another thing. For example, two blue triangles of exactly the same size and dimension; or three green squares of...

The Speed of Forgiveness

How quickly should I forgive? When I think about forgiving someone, I tend to think about a particular situation in the 2 and 3 year old class at church. Two little boys who are best buddies were about to sit at the table together. I don't know what happened, but they...
