The Past Is Behind You

The past is something good to look back on now and then to remind us of where we've been, what we've learned, and how far we've come, but it isn't a good place to focus. If you want to go forward, you can't do that very well when you're always looking behind you. It...

More Notes Again

I have a few more notes to share that I've written over time. The difference between a missionary and a "regular" Christian is simply the location in which they preach the Gospel. Sanctification is becoming in practice what our position is in Christ. You must pursue...

Wounds and the Being

I've talked about things like this before, but it's always good to talk about them again. An injury or a wound can happen in a number of ways and because of a number of things. You and I can be visibly physically wounded, and we can be wounded in non-physical ways...

A Heavenly, “Oh!”

There are a lot of things about and in the Bible we don't understand. God didn't give us exact and precise details, but He did tell us all we need to know. That doesn't stop us from being curious and forming ideas, like how it looked when God created the world and...

What Does That Mean?

Sometimes a part of the Bible isn't going to make sense to you. You'll read it over and it will still seem a little odd. Try reading the verses around it to get context, look up the original language, and do some cultural and historical study. Taking something out of...
