Your creation explanation tells me a lot about your heart. Yesterday, I listened to another podcast from another podcaster. And he and a guest shared some weird perspectives from a group of people who call themselves “flat earthers.” Now, if you have even a couple of brain cells still sparking, you immediately spit take whatever you’re drinking and say, “What did you say?! Flat … Read the rest…
Allow me to brighten your day with instruments of death I’d better say this under my breath. Because, in this age of grace, it’s just so mean sounding. But it’s true. So, here goes. Did you know God actually prepares instruments of death to use against wicked people? Gasp! Can that be true? Well, it’s in the Bible. Hmm…maybe I read it wrong. Hang … Read the rest…
Are you a mess in times of stress? In times of stress do you stop and think about whether God might be mad at you? No? Don’t feel like the Lone Ranger. Because I’m sure you’re like almost everybody else. Even Christians don’t tend to think about God’s anger…even during prayer. Or maybe especially during prayer. But a guy named David thought about it. … Read the rest…
Pray for Guidance If you’ve ever wanted to pray for guidance, but you felt like your prayer just sounded lame, check out Psalm 5 in the Old Testament of the Bible. In the New King James version, there’s even a subheading labeled “a prayer for guidance.” So, that’s what it must be. Right? Anyway…most of the Psalms were also songs. And they have that … Read the rest…
Be angry AND do not sin There’s a lot in this world that makes me mad. Does that happen with you, too? Have you noticed how people who hate God have gotten a lot bolder these days? And it makes me mad that there are so many of them. More and more each day. But I gotta remember the Bible says be angry and … Read the rest…
Even in this troubled world the Lord sustains me I know I’m not alone when it comes to having troubles in this world. In fact, no one on Earth escapes trouble. And there are billions of people who are far worse off than me. Most of them don’t even realize just how much worse off. So, I have a distinct advantage over them. Because … Read the rest…
Guess what, big shot… You’re not “all that.” If you start thinking more of yourself than you should, you’re attempting to walk on water. And that won’t go well for you. In fact, God in Heaven laughs at you. What?! I know, I know. It doesn’t sound like the God you’ve heard about…right? But the one, true, living, loving God of all creation laughs … Read the rest…
Walk Stand Sit When I was 13 years old, I prayed with my Grandmother and chose eternal life with God. And from that moment on, my life has been one perfect day after another. That’s how it is when you choose to walk stand sit in the way of the righteous. And turn your back on the ungodly. Are you still with me? Some … Read the rest…
“From my mother’s womb you have been my God” Several years ago, when I was still the praise and worship music guy for a small Denver area church, our pastor preached a series of sermons from the Psalms. And they connected with me on a deep level. Maybe because King David wrote them, and he was a singer songwriter in addition to being king. … Read the rest…
Womb Baby? Huh? What’s a womb baby? I’m gonna go out on a limb and say it’s a baby. Crazy talk, I know. But crazy is one of the least offensive things I’ve been called. Anyway…have you noticed how, in the past few decades (and especially in the past few years), it has gotten increasingly difficult for so many people to know what that … Read the rest…
