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...

Look Outside for the Holidays

I know I've talked about all this before, but it's good to be reminded. We get so busy with our own holiday stuff that we sometimes forget there are others around us who aren't having as good of a time as we are, or we're the ones not having a good time because we're...

Science in the Bible

Yesterday during a sermon the speaker talked about one of the many reasons why he believes that the Bible is the real, factual, word of God and the actual historical accounts of God's people. He pointed out something I've known for a while but haven't thought much...

Story-Building

A friend and I have been story-building for several months now, and it's all becoming quite intricate and interconnected. That interconnectedness as well as the themes we've been exploring take inspiration from and remind us of real life. All the story-building that...
