Some thoughts I think as I study God’s Word
It has taken me over a week and a half to synthesize why the backlash towards Syrian refugees (in withholding them asylum on the grounds of the Paris attacks) bugs me so much. Even now I’m not sure I’ll manage to clearly and concisely summarize my thoughts, but I’m ready now to take a shot …
I grew up with the stories of the exodus and God’s miraculous provision for His people on their travels from Egypt to Canaan. And it always baffled me how anyone could ever complain about receiving bread from heaven everyday! Surely if my Mom were serving bread from heaven everyday I wouldn’t complain – I thought. Instead, …
When you go into REM sleep, your body stops releasing certain neurotransmitters thus causing a drop in vigilance (am I in danger?) and mood-modulation (so what?). Also, the prefrontal cortex becomes less active causing a diminished sense of logic (what’s going on?) and planning (what do I do next?). You notice how the physical state …
The book of Ephesians has, as a themes, the concept of unity. That Christ came to bring everything back together. There was harmony in the universe when God first created it. Every note different yet moving in unity. Then sin entered in – sin: the very breach of the harmonious flow of life. You see, …
Give up the Bible! shall we make a sacrifice like this? Shall we forsake our earthly stay, our guide to heavenly bliss? And pluck from life’s bewildering maze, where we but wanderers are, The light that on our pathway shines – a never-fading star? Give up the Bible! must we yield to erring man the …
I’ve been blog-delinquent this semester. But oh, how I’ve missed blogging! And now I have a backlog of ideas I’ve been meaning to write on. So…where to start? My devotions. That’s always a good place to start. I’ve been reading about Jeremiah. That guy had a depressing job! We love to quote Jeremiah 29:11 “For …
How do you follow up a testimony where 3,000 souls are added to the church in a day? Well, Luke goes on to tell us about Peter and John’s encounter with a lame man at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful. This man had never walked a day in his life! No, …
So I’m a few days late, but Christmas is a time of year when the world remembers the miracle of the incarnation. God, who is infinitely infinite, packages Himself into the tiny, helpless form of a baby. With no earthly father to claim, He is born of a virgin – IMPOSSIBLE and yet apparently, with …
I first noticed him in there this morning. When I opened the water, he scurried to the side and I reduced the pressure to avoid washing him down the drain. As a joke, I tell people not to kill the bugs in my home, because they’re my pets. In reality, it’s just that I’d prefer …
David needed to make peace offerings to God on the threshing floor of Ornan/Araunah since God had decided, at Ornan’s threshing floor, to discontinue the plague that had been sweeping the land as a punishment. Ornan, being a good man, was happy to permit such a solemn occasion to take place on his land. He …
