Night Spiders

A horror book for under 10 years old Chapter 1 Tim’s legs tickled as the ceiling fan threw air around the room. “You must be careful.” It was their first night out alone on a hunt. Tim’s little brother’s feet kept slipping. “Why did we need to come this way?” It was the route thatContinue reading “Night Spiders”

EATEN BY LIONS

Genesis 4:7 – Says, “If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin is crouching at the door. Its desire is contrary to you, but you must rule over it.” ‭‭How do we understand these sin metaphors? Driving to Bible study this morning and listening to JContinue reading “EATEN BY LIONS”

In Case of Emergency, Break Physics

Physics is broken in relationships. The truth and the word abide by no rules. They are inherently the rules themselves. Proverbs 25:15 says, “with patience a ruler MAY be persuaded and a soft tongue will break bone.” In the physical world, soft things do generally not break hard things, but there are a few instancesContinue reading “In Case of Emergency, Break Physics”

Minimums

This is the sermon I preached Mothers Day 2024: There are a few things in my life that I absolutely detest. I will spare you the knowledge of most of them right now, but I feel it is important to tell you about one. Massages. You know, like being rubbed or touched in a wayContinue reading “Minimums”

Big Words

I recently sent a video to a couple of men. The response was different from what I had expected. “They use big words.” I had planned to respond in a not-so-good way, but it wouldn’t have been appropriate. However, I would like to remember some things from the video, so I will post my thoughtsContinue reading “Big Words”

Miracles Not Included

John 5:1-9 Get Up and Walk Interestingly, my writing through John had me at the story of the invalid. Reading and writing this passage of scripture caused me to think about its meaning and whether it is helpful for myself and those around me. My first thought is that this is a call to action.Continue reading “Miracles Not Included”

More Alive?

I was confronted with another question the other day from my wife. It wasn’t her question but one that was posed to her by a friend. This letter is not directed toward the friend but towards Christians who are discontent with how they feel in a church. They tend to ask questions or say, “ThisContinue reading “More Alive?”

Repentance

I may get myself in trouble again. Repentance is one of those Christian terms I was taught early, but I am still trying to understand it beyond a 180-degree turn. This understanding serves well right away but leads to questions shortly after the next sinful activity. I believe this view has us with a cartContinue reading “Repentance”

Forgiveness

Our individualistic Western culture has made us terrible forgivers and virtually unable to accept forgiveness from others. We have turned forgiveness into being excused. We have emptied the purpose of forgiveness and replaced it with a desire to feel better or to be justified in our righteousness. “We often confuse forgiveness with excusing” – Lewis.Continue reading “Forgiveness”

What is Love? (Part 1 of ∞)

You may come to the conclusion that I am bat crazy after this one. Love is one of the most complex and mysterious concepts that exists. We are constantly overloaded with the word and do not understand how to do it well. When I do an internet search for the term love, I often receiveContinue reading “What is Love? (Part 1 of ∞)”
