Would I React Differently?

Sometimes we look at the people in the Bible and can readily see the mistakes they made, but sometimes I wonder if we'd do any differently if we were in their circumstances. If God promised that I would have a child when I'm so far past child-bearing years that I'm...

God and Science

Considering that God made the universe and all the laws by which it functions, anything we discover through science won't disagree with God. Sometimes scientists might overstep the boundaries of science and try to make assumptions in an attempt to understand more...

Making Disciples

Telling people about Jesus isn't just about them getting saved, it's also about making them disciples. (Matthew 28:19-20; Acts 1:8) Jesus calls us not just to show people who He is so they can believe, He also calls us to teach them what it means to believe in and...

Volition and Personal Responsibility

We often look to blame others for the things that happen to us. Things can't ever be our fault. But whatever part others have played in our situation, we cannot absolve ourselves of personal responsibility for the part we have played in it, and the part we can still...

Secular or Sacred?

We Christians often divide things in life based on whether they are worldly or whether they are spiritual, calling them secular and sacred respectively. Sometimes we refer to the work we do as either secular or sacred. But sometimes there is no difference between the...

The Master, His Servants, and the Washing of Feet

While visiting my sister this past weekend, I got to hear someone different preach. He preached about the time when Jesus washed His disciples' feet in John 13:1-17, and a few specific things stood out to me. In verses 3-5, the pastor pointed out that we see the God...

God’s Forgiveness – Peter the Apostle

Though Peter sometimes got into trouble with his words (Matthew 16:21-23; Mark 8:31-33), we do find that he had a lot of good things to say very confidently, especially when Jesus asked who His disciples thought he was in Matthew 6:15-17, Mark 8:29, and Luke 9:20. He...

Have You Ever Read It?

A lot of people will bring up things about the Bible that they know or have heard, either to support or to refute something another person is saying. But many have not actually read it. When I was little I knew a lot about what was in the Bible because I'd been taught...
