Sin Like Germs

Sin can be like germs. Just because you can't see it doesn't mean it isn't there. It only takes a little bit to make a surface unusable or a food inedible. It only takes a little to make you and those around you sick. If you don't clean properly with something that...

Time for a Change and Some Balance Adjustment

I talked about possibly changing the blog post schedule in Season of Change. That time has come. I have had to admit to myself that I cannot (currently anyway) keep up with two posts a week anymore. I'm sad about it (and I cried just a little bit), but it's time I...

In case you need to hear (or read) some things, here they are: Sometimes taking a short break will save you more time than pushing through. Instead of just sitting there and trying to power through a problem, you might just need a few minutes away so you can come back...

God’s Business

There are things that are God's business and are His alone, and there are things that He has made our business. When Jesus gave the Great Commission to His followers in Acts 1:7-8, He made telling people about Him and His work our business. But the part where a person...

Just a Little Faith in Christ

In the sermon yesterday morning we were in Mark 9:14-29. The same account is also told in Matthew 17:14-21. This is right after Jesus has taken Peter, James, and John to a mountain top where they saw Jesus transfigured before them. They saw the unveiled glory of...

Even More Soap Opera in the Bible

I'm not quite sure why I've spotted soap opera in the Bible multiple times. I don't even watch soap operas. But I must think it's pretty interesting to find them in the Bible. (See Soap Opera in the Bible and More Soap Opera in the Bible) This "episode" is in the book...
