Kill that Turtle… with the Bible?

Ladies and gentlemen, we have a problem. Gentlemen, we especially are prone to this dramatically poisonous tendency. Before we go any further, let’s say what the problem is outright: we stink at opening ourselves up. It’s awkward. Whether it’s responding in depth to “how’s it going?” or (heaven forbid) just opening up without being asked, [ READ MORE ]

“When a generation is continuously told that its options are limitless, its abilities are boundless, and its happiness is central, why should we be surprised that reality comes as such a difficult concept?” – Al Mohler[ READ MORE ]

Diamonds in the Rough

Verses floating in my mind today

Before the actual content, a really random thought: I thought it was really cool that during one of the hymns during Communion today, the last line in one of the stanzas had a double exclamation (!!) at the end of it.

It’s like Let the Nations Be Glad Living Edition. “I never made a sacrifice.” I was going to send these notes to [ READ MORE ]

Preparing for the future

Been reading several books in the past two months which often contain expositions of Scripture, guidelines, principles, and godly advice for things in the future that don’t apply to me yet. Stuff like dating, what to do with your regular income, raising kids, raising teenagers. It’s humbling to realize how much of this doesn’t come [ READ MORE ]

Like a Jackhammer to my Heart

“Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. And a person’s enemies will be those of his [ READ MORE ]
