Chocolate Candy Crosses
Picture this: Your father is found guilty of a crime he didn’t commit. He’s sentenced to death via electric chair and he doesn’t get pardoned. He dies May 12th, and many people mourn his loss. Afterward, he is exonerated. So, every year on May 12th, you have a local confectioner make up a chocolate electric [...]
Reconciliation is More Important than Worship
As Christians, we tend to think that the most important thing we can do is to worship God. In fact, that’s part of the response to the question of “What was I created to do?” where you’re supposed to reply, “To love and worship God forever.” However, Christ wanted to make a point in the [...]
Freedom and Accountability
Freedom– it’s what this country was founded on, and is what is also slipping away very quickly. With every move of this current government we are losing freedom. The problem is that, though everyone may agree on this premise, few will agree on what would restore it. There are two very different opinions about what [...]
Thou Shalt Not Kill
Matthew 5:21-22 states: Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment: But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall [...]
Ye Have Heard it was Said…
Jesus was an amazing teacher. I mean, He was God and all, but when you actually stop to muse some of the things that He said and commanded, it goes a whole lot further than the teachings we generally hear from the pulpit or the Epistles. Have you ever spent time actually thinking through the [...]
Get Rid of the Bums…
…Except my guy, because he’s good. Why is it that we can simultaneous hold that our representatives aren’t doing a good job and believe our local guy isn’t part of the problem? How can Congress have such a low approval rating, and yet most of the people get elected right back to the same positions [...]
Job
The patience of Job is something of legend. The stage is set in Job 1, where Satan approaches God to talk about the people down on Earth and God directs his attention to Job. Satan is quick to tell God that the reason that Job worships him is because God has richly blessed him: Family [...]
Christianity and the World
The old saying goes that the church is only 10 years behind the world morally/culturally. That was part of last night’s message looking into “respectable sins”—those sins that Christians commit that are ranked as “not bad” because “everyone does them.” This is a charge that I’ve heard before, and I have to say that I [...]
Oh How It Builds
What’s I find interesting is how much we are influenced by what we take in. Whether it’s the the ideas that we expose ourselves to or the images that we allow in our heads, whatever we choose to feed our brain with, whatever possibilities we consider, we find that we are less open to the [...]
Never Good Enough
A. W. Tozer, in one of his books on Worship, has a shocking statement. He basically tells his readers that they are worshipping incorrectly—but that it’s ok, because everyone worships incorrectly. Why? Because we cannot worship God fully until we are changed out of this sinful body and into a glorified one. Because no matter [...]
Elijah
Somewhat out of nowhere, Elijah appears on the scene at the court of King Ahab of Israel and promises a drought until he says it will stop. It’s not clear whether King Ahab believes him or not, and yet the next thing we know, Elijah is whisked off to the Brook Cherith to be fed [...]
Personal vs. Business
Isn’t it amazing? You go to multiple people, you get different answers! As you know, I make money off blogging. I make it in various ways, but I’m no where close to making money exclusively off blogging. However, I’d like to have a separate account for the thing so I can manage it better. Every [...]
The Rapture and Children
Many Christians that believe in the idea that having faith in God is the only way to get to Heaven also believe in an “Age of Accountability”—or the idea that if a young child dies without accepting Christ as Savior they will get to Heaven because God is merciful and they couldn’t be held accountable. [...]
Jacob
In Genesis 32, Jacob is headed back home after working for his Uncle Laban for over 14 years. He has his two wives, two maidservants and all of the rest of the servants and children in tow as they had back to Caanan when they get news that his brother Esau is headed out to [...]
Adam
Adam. The first man created by God. We know very little about this man when compared to some of the other greats in the Bible. And yet, by him we get the names for the animals, from his rib we have woman, and by him sin entered into the world. And yet one of the [...]
