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...

A Summary Look Back Before Going Forward

I've been in Deuteronomy in my daily Bible reading lately. Here Moses is giving the children of Israel a summary of what's happened to them since they left Egypt (Exodus, Leviticus, and Numbers) before they head into the Promised Land. He's reminding them of the...

Heaping Coals of Fire

In Romans 12:20, we see the apostle Paul referencing Proverbs 25:21-22. In a modern Western way of thinking, the term "heap coals of fire on his head" gives me the idea that I'm exacting some type of vengeance or convicting with shame by being kind to people I don't...

A Few Reminders

Doing what you need to do and doing what's right should be the same thing. Just because someone else isn't doing their job is no excuse for you not to do yours. Winning the culture back is not the same thing as winning souls to Christ. If you are not getting into...

Reviewing Notes

I've always liked writing, and I've almost always taken notes. I've recently realized just how many notes I take, and just how many I've kept. These notes are everywhere: on paper, on my computer, on my phone! Some of these notes are important pieces of life advice....

God Can Handle Your Feelings

Sometimes we don't tell God how we really feel. I mean how we really, REALLY feel. We Christians especially sometimes don't say certain things because we think that we should never feel negatively. But God can handle our feelings. He's the one who gave them to us in...

Call Me Out

I've been looking at some of my earliest posts on this blog and thinking about some things that I've learned to do and say better. I've said things better on the same topics in subsequent posts. I've been called out on a couple things in the past and gone back to...
