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...

The Process of Sanctification

To sanctify means to set something apart for sacred use. It becomes set aside for holy use, therefore it becomes holy itself. When you get saved, you are considered forgiven of all sin and you are sanctified before God, and then you must become what you are. Though...

The Inspiring God

Sometimes we can be in such awe of God and of what He's done that we get inspired to make something to express praise for it. We make paintings, stories, poems, music, and many other varying forms of art. We want to express our praise to God as well as have other...
