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...

A Bit on Suffering

No one likes to suffer. Sometimes we suffer the consequences of our bad choices. Sometimes we suffer the consequences of someone else's bad choices. Sometimes suffering is good for us and we learn something we would have otherwise missed. But no matter which way you...

Get in the Boat

I Can’t, God Can

I've written about this before, but there's always more to say. Yesterday I was thinking and this came to mind: One of God's children looks at an insurmountable situation, then looks up at God and helplessly says, "I can't do it." So God looks at them and lovingly...

Knowing God

You must know God. Knowing about Him is not enough. You must know God. Based around some notes I took during a sermon, let's talk about that. Knowing God exists and knowing God Himself are two different things. Satan knows and believes God exists, and He's evil. You...

Freedom to Do God’s Work

I was reading a book recently (Assertively Apolitical by Greg Smith), and part of it mentioned freedoms we Christians do or do not have depending on the government. Essentially, a government cannot take away our freedom to do whatever God has commanded us to do. We...
