Choosing the Right Way

God gave us humans the ability to make decisions of all kinds. He even lets us decide whether or not we're going to follow His plan and do things His way. Think about it though. The God who knows literally everything and who certainly knows the best way to do things...

Trials and Testing for a Little While

In 1 Peter 1:5-9, we read that God has things handled, and while we Christ followers will be tested (or have trials, depending on translation), it will only be for a little while and it will actually be very good for us. But what is "a little while"? Last night in...

Brushing Up

Sometimes it's good to go back and brush up on some things you haven't done in a while. You might find out there are plenty of things you're still good at. You might find out you're not still good at some of it. On the bright side, it takes less time to relearn it...

Life Is Like…

Life is like practicing an instrument; you're only going to get better if you keep at it, and sometimes you have to go over the basics more than you'd like so you can be good at what's more advanced. Life is like a quadratic equation; not everyone knows how to do it...

Beautiful Pictures

When God made the world He made it to include pictures for us. God made metaphors, parallels, little pieces of things for us to understand more about who He is. Take marriage, family, and authority for example. He invented each of these, and they are all...

Marks of Wisdom

What does godly wisdom look like? How do you know someone is wise in this way? What is wisdom in the first place? Where did it come from? We'll start by looking at the place from whence we find wisdom. Looking at Job 28:12-28, we find that wisdom comes from God. In...
