Easter is upon us and we will soon be celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ. To understand why Jesus’ resurrection is so important, you first have to know why He had to die. Which leads us to the sin of man. Every person walking the Earth has sinned in one way or another. It could…
Dear Facebook, My day was pretty boring today. I didn’t go anywhere fun or see anything interesting, so I don’t have any new photos to post. I don’t have any fun stories or interesting points to make about the news or pop culture. I didn’t meet up with any friends, maybe they are off doing…
It has been a while since I’ve blogged on this site, so I’m going back to the beginning of Proverbs. The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge; Fools despise wisdom and instruction. – Proverbs 1:7 What does it mean to fear the Lord? This is a difficult concept because God is love…
I’m reading The Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury and this passage just struck me as funny and true at the same time. The Lord is not serious. In fact, it is a little hard to know just what else He is except loving. And love has to do with humor, doesn’t it? For you cannot…
So here’s a cool story that I wanted to share. Yesterday when I walked into my office, I found a thank you card on my desk. Here’s what it said inside. Mr. Clark I escort the cleaning crew a couple of nights per week an happened to see the book “Time with God for Fathers”…
What is the meaning of life? A question asked so often it has become the cliche of cliches. The Bible provides a simple answer though. Let my soul live that it may praise You, And let Your ordinances help me. – Psalm 119:175 Everyone who is called by My name, And whom I have created…
A common inspirational phrase used in sports is “It’s just us against the world.” That takes on new meaning when your teammate is God himself. Princes persecute me without cause, But my heart stands in awe of Your words. – Pslam 119:161 If the Psalmist who wrote this was David, then he literally had a…
Lies are all around us. Advertisements wish to convince you that buying their product will make you cooler, smarter, fitter, or just plain happier than you are now. Various news outlets cover the exact same world events but depict them so differently that it is hard to find the fact within the spin. There are…
I hope it isn’t just me, but I often forget about the Holy Spirit. That sounds silly, but Jesus and God get the top billing and the Holy Spirit is often an afterthought. I mean, they are all one in the same, so no big deal, but I’d like to give a little love to…
I’ve got 99 problems, but they are all 1st world problems. So who am I to complain? With that said, everyone has bad days and feels overwhelmed from time to time. So even though I’m not David hiding in caves from a King that wants to kill him, I think I can relate to the Psalms…
Every day we have a choice. Will we walk in the light of the Word of God or will we allow sin to creep into our lives. That is the free will that God has given us. Establish my footsteps in Your word, And do not let any iniquity have dominion over me. – Psalm…
One of my favorite one-liners from Shakespeare deals with the double edged sword of justice. “…use every man after his desert, and who should ‘scape whipping?” – Hamlet Or said another way, “Treat everyone as they deserve to be treated, and who would escape harsh punishment?” We are all sinners and as a result the only…
Sometimes we need all need a hiding place. You are my hiding place and my shield; I wait for Your word. – Pslam 119:114 When we are little, we found places that we could squeeze into and hide. Sometimes it was for a game, sometimes it was out of fear, and sometimes it was just…
Hide it under a bushel? No! I’m gonna let it shine!
Have you ever had someone teaching you something and at some point you came to realize that you actually know more about the subject than they do? Generally you feel a little bit embarrassed for them and a little bit proud of yourself. That is not exactly what the Psalmist is referring to here, but it is…
