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 It

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...

Ground Control

I found a note I made in my phone during either a sermon or a devotional on the Parable of the Sower (Matthew 13:1-23; Mark 4:1-20; Luke 8:4-15), and I thought I'd share. Satan would have us believe there is no good ground in places and people. "This person or these...

How Did Joseph Feel in Egypt?

Sometimes I find myself wondering how people in the Bible felt as they were going through all I read about. Sometimes the Bible mentions or implies, but we don't always get the gritty details. Like when Joseph was sold by his brothers, taken to Egypt as a slave, and...

Valuables and Junk

My family has been packing up all our stuff in the house to move. It really puts into perspective how much your earthly possessions really mean to you, or how much they don't mean. I realized just how many of my things I don't use and therefore don't need, so I...

Participation in God’s Overarching Design

I was talking to a friend about Christians going out and telling people about Jesus. We're supposed to do this, on purpose and all the time. We're not supposed to be obnoxious about it, but we are supposed to go tell people about Jesus. Then that's it, the rest is...
