I don’t want to get into the nitty gritty on what’s allowed or not allowed on the Sabbath. I do believe there IS a sabbath however, and that’s what I’d like to type about this week. I became convinced of the existence of the Sabbath about a decade ago. At the time, I was treatingContinue reading “On the Sabbath”

Live Like It’s True
I spent 18 years as a non-Christian. My formative years were spent in darkness, though I did have much light. I was taught to work hard, to treat others with respect, and to do many things myself. I am very grateful for the upbringing I had under my parents. They weren’t perfect, and they stillContinue reading “Live Like It’s True”
On Roles
I made a chart a while back for New Year’s resolutions. (I no longer do New Year’s resolutions; instead, if I find something to improve, I just do it whenever.) Twas a simple chart. I listed all the roles I had on the left, then a way to get better on the right. I wonderContinue reading “On Roles”
Consuming vs. Creating
I owe quite a lot to podcasts. Pretty much all of any perceived wisdom I have came from listening to godly men talk about the Bible, right from the comfort of my phone. I learned about exegesis, hermeneutics, science, economics, fathering, being a husband, apologetics; you get the ideas. I owe so much to theContinue reading “Consuming vs. Creating”
Some Things Should be Hard
Like Math. There are a lot of things in life that are really hard for me (and you, I’m sure). We all want to avoid things that make our lives difficult. That’s the nature of the fall. Adam and Eve ran and hid themselves from the Omniscient. It wasn’t going to work. Adam heard this:Continue reading “Some Things Should be Hard”
Potluck Philosophy
Christians should be the best at potlucks. Well, we should be the best at everything. No one else has the Spirit like we do, and the motivation to honor the one true God like we do. But guys, potlucks are in the Christian wheelhouse! And it’s not only because we practice this particular skill quiteContinue reading “Potluck Philosophy”
He who is faithful in a very little
Oh boy I wanted to be something. To be used by God in a big way! For my church in the city, that meant being a preacher. All the theologically minded at our church wanted to be preachers, coincidentally of course. I’m not sure what the rest of the guys were thinking, they had theirContinue reading “He who is faithful in a very little”
On Friendship
I used to be so concerned that I didn’t have any lasting friends, through thick and thin. My wife does! She has ladies she can text at any moment and they will respond. They share things, heavy and light. I have never had that in the same way because that’s not how guys do friendship.Continue reading “On Friendship”
My Bible Reading Plan
When we moved to St. Louis, we were blessed to have a pastor whose preaching made us want to read the Bible. When illustrating, he would use Old Testament stories first, then church history examples. It was really great. I would only add using examples from creation to that list because that’s what Jesus didContinue reading “My Bible Reading Plan”
Handwritten Notes
I had an idea. Those come along once in a while; I love it when they do. Sometimes they are ideas that I can take action on immediately, I like those best. The hard ones are ideas for other people; they often don’t care. I’m sure you would, but most people don’t want to hearContinue reading “Handwritten Notes”
