Salvation; August 30, 2025
Joel 2:32 And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved;for on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there will be deliverance, as the Lord has said,even among the survivors whom the Lord calls. I almost chose to write on verse 25, because that also feels very meaningful … Continue reading

DEI; August 18, 2025
Isaiah 56:8 The Sovereign Lord declares— he who gathers the exiles of Israel:“I will gather still others to them besides those already gathered.” As a Gentile myself, I was tempted to write on verses 6-7, but the point is that God is interested in people … Continue reading

Salvation; August 2, 2025

The Hope of Eternal Life; July 31, 2025
Ecclesiastes 9:10 Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might, for in the realm of the dead, where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom. Solomon is one of the most pathetic figures … Continue reading

Having Fun; July 23, 2025
Proverbs 15:21 Folly brings joy to one who has no sense, but whoever has understanding keeps a straight course. Having fun can be a difficult subject. Many people have a distorted view of Christian faith, thinking it makes you “a stick … Continue reading

God’s Way; July 20, 2025
Proverbs 10:29 The way of the Lord is a refuge for the blameless, but it is the ruin of those who do evil. This is a truth I have observed over the years, and it can be very ironic. For those who are … Continue reading

Ancestral Sin; July 9, 2025
Psalm 106:6 We have sinned, even as our ancestors did; we have done wrong and acted wickedly. Awareness of sin is a strange thing. Some actions jump out at us, in our own lives or in the lives of those around us, and … Continue reading

The Purpose of Grace; June 20, 2025

Humility; June 15, 2025
Psalm 51:17 My sacrifice, O God, is a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart you, God, will not despise. This is one of the most famous of David’s Psalms, and for excellent reason. It was written at probably the most dramatic juncture of … Continue reading

Salvation; June 5, 2025
Psalm 30:11-12 You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy,that my heart may sing your praises and not be silent. Lord my God, I will praise you forever. I learned the KJV of these two verses set to music … Continue reading
