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...

Sharing notes again, but specifically ones about grace. Grace is everything for nothing to those who don't deserve anything. God's grace still recognizes my disappointing behavior and gives me cleansing, forgiveness, and strength to go and be better. God will also not...

Following God’s Directions

Last night the kids learned about the brothers Cain and Abel (Genesis 4:1-16), and how we should follow God's instructions. Cain and Abel were both aware of God and what He told them to do, but only one of them listened. God was pleased with the one who listened. The...

Written and Typed Notes

If you've been here a while, you know I take notes. I write them down on paper and I type them in my phone. Usually I share notes from one or the other, but I'm sharing combo notes today. Church is not a spectator sport. Faithfulness to God does not grant exemption...
