New Year, New Schedule

Once again, I find myself changing my blog schedule. I'll be posting my blogs on Tuesday, since my new schedule this year allows better writing time on that day. Speaking of new schedules, this past year has been full of changes for me. I went from one job to another,...

Some Things About the New Year

Recently I have learned and considered that there are some things we think and feel about a new year that could use some more thought. "New year, new me!" Just because the year is new doesn't automatically mean I suddenly am or am going to be a better person. It...

If I Were There

Recently at church some of our kids sang "If I Were There", a song wondering what one might do if they were there for the birth of Jesus Christ. It's gotten me wondering what I'd think and do if I were there. Would I have the knowledge I do now and just effectively...

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...

Season of Change

Humorously Summarized Bible References

A little something silly I've been wanting to do for a while. Read the references and tell me how I did! Kid beats giant with leather strip and small rock. (1 Samuel 17) Hair like goats, teeth like sheep, noses and necks like towers, all that cute lovey dovey stuff....

More Notes of Encouragement

I've shared something like this before in Notes of Encouragement, and I wanted to do so again. Jesus went through suffering and He can relate very closely with us when we suffer. Christ's touch may vary, but His grace is always the same. There is no limit to the ways...

“I Didn’t Ask Jesus to Die for Me”

God doesn't want us to go to Hell, so He used His own rules to give us a loophole, if you will, so we could go to Heaven. Sometimes when we Christians talk to people about the sacrifice Jesus made to pay for our sins with His life, death, burial, and resurrection,...
