Lesson #1: What’s the big deal about gossip? If you ask the average American whether or not they’re a good person, most would say yes. They would say they’re good because they try to be kind to others. Or, because they’ve never robbed a bank or murdered anyone. All good things, of course! However, doContinue reading “Taming the Tea: Part 1”

Biblical Blessing
The prosperity gospel has become quite popular in American Evangelical Christian culture. One doesn’t have to look far on social media or in book stores to see what I’m talking about. Sermons, quotes, and books that promise health, wealth, and beauty for followers of Jesus make for a good sale. It also kinda makes meContinue reading “Biblical Blessing”
Wings and Worry
For the last 10 days or so, my family and I have had the privilege of watching a family of house wrens in our backyard. Initially, we were very pleased when two adult birds took up residency in the birdhouse our son made. But then! One day we heard a faint chirping from within theContinue reading “Wings and Worry”
Apologetic: No Other God (Part III)
The Humble Love of God. The idea of a humble God is one that simply doesn’t exist in other religions. God (or gods) as all-powerful, sure. But humble? Not so much.

A Delivered People
When we are in the eternity of God I sincerely hope we’re privy to a larger than life replaying of biblical history. I want to see it all! I want to see Creation, Samson catching foxes, David slaying Goliath, and Elijah calling down fire from Heaven. I want to see the night sky breaking wideContinue reading “A Delivered People”
Holding Fast the Word of God
In a television interview two years ago, Pastor Rick Warren was asked to identify our number one purpose in life. This was his answer: “Your number one purpose in life is to let God love you. Not to love God, but to let Him love you.” Oof. If you wonder why I bring this quoteContinue reading “Holding Fast the Word of God”
The Gift of Sonship
Sometimes I think it’s easier to wrap my mind around Jesus, the eternal Son of God, than Jesus, the child of Mary and Joseph. Jesus as the King of the Universe- the One through whom all things were made and the One who sits at the right hand of the Father in glory- that IContinue reading “The Gift of Sonship”
