I never realized before that God didn’t tell Eve to not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. He told Adam. Not only did he tell Adam, but he told Adam before he even CREATED Eve! She didn’t even exist yet when he gave Adam the one simple restriction! I guess […]

Every day I drive my daughter to school, I pass by the same reflector on the interstate that has been hit by a car or otherwise bent over. It’s not completely down, but rather at a good 30 degree angle or so which (at the same time every morning) tends to blind oncoming drivers with […]

I read this the other day and found it pretty powerful. I thought I’d share as it applies to all of us at some point in life. —– Some years ago, on a hot summer day in South Florida, a little boy decided to go for a swim in the old swimming hole behind his […]

Have you ever heard someone argue that they don’t need to go to church to be a Christian? Maybe you say that… and technically they’re right. You don’t. Faith in Christ and asking him to be your Savior makes you a Christian. But what are the real repercussions of this mentality? We humans keep looking […]

To our unborn child: Our Lord is in control when I am not. Our Lord is in control when I think I am, and for this I am eternally grateful. You already know how much you were loved. You already know how much you are and will be missed. You already know the love in […]

Well it’s official. We thought we had until 2012… but the Mayans were wrong and now we only have until a little less than 3 weeks from now. Bummer, huh? I was really looking forward to summer weather before the end of the world hit. But now over 2,000 billboards in North America are saying […]

I recently got this letter from Wycliffe (a non-profit that sends missionaries world-wide to cultures that don’t yet have the Bible translated into their languages for the purpose of translation and teaching), and I thought I’d share. It has a neat perspective on prayer. Wycliffe missionaries Terrill and Amber Schrock work with the Ik people […]

I was reading in John this morning and thought I’d share my thoughts with you all: John 20:19-28 tells us a familiar story. “Doubting Thomas” was given his nickname by the events that unfold in this section of Scripture: John 20:19-28 (NLT): That Sunday evening the disciples were meeting behind locked doors because they were […]

For a long time I’ve held to my conclusion that ALL sin… not just some, but ALL sin can be traced back to one common factor. A selfish desire. Lies, Greed, Lust, Hatred, Jealousy, Murder, etc… pick one. They all go back to a fundamental belief that you have something I want, aren’t something I […]
