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...

God’s Will

A lot of people say, "I want to know God's will," but we don't always really want to know. We're afraid we won't like it or that we won't be able to do it. But God's will is always the best thing, so we can like it. And God will never call us to do something that He...

Representing God

I was thinking the other day about when people are told to leave God at the door or to keep their belief in God on the down low. That's not how belief in God is supposed to work. Don't be obnoxious about it of course, but don't hide or downplay God and His work in...

First and Second Coming

Around Christmas we focus on Jesus' first coming, when He came as a baby. He came to live the perfect life that we couldn't live so that He could offer Himself in our place to pay for our sins, and then to rise again to go back to Heaven. Then one day Jesus is going...

Light and Hope for Christmas

This has been a very strange year for everyone. It's been tiring and frustrating. It's been downright disheartening for so many. So now that we've reached the busy, busy end of the year, it's really starting to wear on people. Be aware of that, in others and in...
