Glory, Irony, and a Crying Savior

I'm late to write this blog, but this time it feels like more of a good thing than usual because I have some things to share from the sermon tonight that I might not have shared this soon otherwise. We were in Mark 15:15-32. The crucifixion of Christ has some glorious...

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...

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

Just when I think I might be coming to a point when things start settling in my life, another set of changes comes by, this time in the form of a second job. I was going to say it's not bad and it's just different, but I've been noticing that it's very good. I'm being...

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,...
