I have heard it said several times, some first hand, that the New Testament is all we need to be reading. Jesus has come, and will come again. That last sentence is true, but not the one before it. The Old Testament was important, and still is. In fact, it is quoted hundreds of times […]
A word of warning, though these are my thoughts, they are a review of the book “Enemies of the Heart” which I received for free from Waterbrook Multnomah in exchange for this review. Now, with the disclaimer out of the way, on to the post. I didn’t know quite what the book was going to […]
You can’t see the forest for the trees. I don’t know if you have ever been told that, I don’t think I have, but I have heard it several times. It sounds dumb at first, but I have often caught myself doing just that. I can’t see the big picture, because I’m focusing on all […]
When I was a young kid, I had chicken pox, like pretty much every other person I know did. Aside from the memory, which is vague, the only proof I have is a pockmark on my left knee. That mark is what is left of my favorite, um, chicken pock (you think that’s weird? This […]
I make no guarantees of coherent thoughts on this post and there will definitely be incomplete thoughts. I have edited it some for clarity, but it is in it’s original “however it came out” form for the most part. Do we dislike something because we don’t like the name, or how it was described, and […]
Those who hang around me for a while either start looking for ways to escape, or wonder about me. Usually because I have said some piece of trivia that is totally off the wall. Many times, I will hear something that reminds me of something I read, sometimes years, before. More often than not, the […]
I just finished reading “To Be Perfectly Honest” by Phil Callaway (yes, I got it for free from Waterbrook Multnomah in exchange for a review, but no, I did not pick it because the author’s name is Phil), and in the time that I read it, I really had to compare what he did with […]
I mentioned in another post that I like to know what is going on, preferably before it is going on. That isn’t always bad, but there will be times that I have no clue what is happening, much less, why it’s happening. Something I have noticed about myself, you may see this in yourself, too, […]
For somewhat unexplainable reasons, one of my favorite verses is found in Malachi 3:7-12. The whole passage is good, but verse 10 is my favorite of them, and it frequently comes to mind. God is speaking through Malachi, telling the Israelites to stop turning away to chase false gods, and their own selfish desires. He […]
Love at Last Sight goes against what many people say about relationships. Instead of focusing on the here and now, like love at first sight does, love at last sight means focusing on the long term. It means the love grows deeper and stronger as time passes, it doesn’t fade when life happens. There will […]
