Foolishness
The foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men. 1 Corinthians 1:25 Do you see a man who is wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for him. A sluggard is wiser in his own eyes than seven men who answer…

Conceiving the Inconceivable
There is a story of twins talking to each other in the womb which is going about the internet in various forms. Here is my take on it. The babies are not far from birth and well developed but still completely ignorant of what is to come. They cannot conceive of what they are about…

Be Quiet!
Proverbs is one of the Bible’s Wisdom books along with Job, Psalms, Ecclesiastes and Song of Songs. One of its major themes is the consequences of actions and words. According to the bible, discipline in what we speak, how we manage what goes into our bodies and what we do with our time all matter…

The Rules of the Game
Recently my head has been swimming with ideas about dimensions beyond the four we live in (height, length, breath and time). No more! I’m going to play by the rules of the game God has set up in those four dimensions. There is where sanity lies. So what are the rules? This is how I…

Easy to Understand, Hard to DO
Jesus’ definition of a hypocrite was someone who did not practice what they taught (Matthew 23:3). In my experience this is a surprisingly common phenomenon especially in my own life! James also said this about the same type of thing: 22 But don’t just listen to God’s word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you…

Losing your life
If you refuse to take up your cross and follow me, you are not worthy of being mine. 39 If you cling to your life, you will lose it; but if you give up your life for me, you will find it. Matthew 10:38,39. Everyone lives every day in the shadow of death whether we want to…

Faith and Heart Attitude
How do you get into heaven? Jesus says you have to be a certain way. He sums up this way in the beatitudes: “Blessed are the poor in spirit for theirs is the kingdom of the heavens.” (Matt. 5:3) Alternatively, you can suffer and qualify that way: “Blessed are those who are persecuted for the…

The Gospel Truth – This Happened!
There is a reason Jesus and Paul were able to say to us all that there is good news for everyone. There is! Jesus, the Son of God, died for your sins and then rose again. Let me now remind you, dear brothers and sisters, of the Good News I preached to you before. You welcomed…

The Book of Life
According to an understanding of the Scriptures by many people (e.g. C.S. Lewis) everyone’s name is in the Book of Life because of what Jesus did on the Cross. But are you living in such a way that God will have to blot you out of it? So Moses went back to the Lord and said, “Oh,…
