1 Timothy 4
I was reading this chapter yesterday by myself then read it with my wife this morning after we were talking about a few things we have observed lately. God has been doing some cool things in our lives recently and one of the key things He has been teaching us is to truly seek Him [...]
Romans 2
Paul holds no punches during these first two chapters in dealing with man’s rejection of God and God’s judgement on the unrepentant. Anyone who says a loving God would never send anyone to Hell has never read Romans chapter 2. Verses 1-10 deal tell of God’s plan to judge those who are self-seeking and do [...]
More on Romans 1

You can see this list here. Jesus gave a different set of rules when He taught the “Beatitudes” [...]
Those Who Approve
Our Pastor went over Mark 7 today where the Pharisees were actively seeking to find fault with Jesus. The discussion was about people who are always looking for faults in others and think they are right all the time. I will admit, I am as guilty as anyone at finding the faults in others. To [...]
Thoughts on Benjamin Button
Last night my wife and I saw “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button”. Overall it was pretty good but there was one scene in particular that got me thinking. The scene involved Daisy getting hit by a car and Benjamin’s description of the string of events that led to the accident. He told how a [...]
My Thoughts on the Inaugural Address
This is a blog that I plan on starting and here is my first post. It is not my intent to turn this into a political blog but I want to respond to the speech from yesterday. My fellow citizens: I stand here today humbled by the task before us, grateful for the trust you [...]
