So yesterday I was driving home and I had so many thoughts running through my head. My main one being along the lines of how I feel time’s end pressing down on me and how I deal with it by simultaneously running from it and feeling like I’m not doing enough. How I’ve been waiting...

New Mercies
It’s the New Year. A time for new beginnings. A time for life-course-correction. A brand new start. For many, the new year is a time to reevaluate who we are, where we are, and set course for the future. We work to make changes, often bettering ourselves in some way. We envision what we want...

We Soldier On.
When I was younger, I used to wonder what life would be like for us “free” Christians if Christianity were ever outlawed in the U.S.A. I knew that there were other countries where it’s outlawed, but I struggled to comprehend how that would affect my life. Would we need to resort to symbols to identify... Continue Reading →

The Book of Job: Chapter 41
Through His description of the Leviathan, God speaks of His relationship with mankind. As the sea monster is mighty and fearsome, so is God. Independent, strong, the only One the creature bows to is God and no man can hope to tame it. In His mercy to us, God is softer, gentler, but He is... Continue Reading →

With questions like, Why was I born? and What is the purpose of my life? a frequent refrain, it's hard not to question the meaning of our existence. For Christians, there's often another layer in that. We look to a... Continue Reading →

The Book of Job: Chapter 34
Elihu has a lot to say about Job's accusations against God. He wastes no time reminding those gathered that God is just, something Job's arguments have been in contradiction with. Elihu also reminds us that God's justice isn't in favor of one person or another, but it comes to all, but even within His justice,... Continue Reading →

The Book of Job: Chapter 31
Chapter 31 concludes Job's final speech. It viewed as his final assertion of integrity and within it he covers some important topics. He wonders what God has in store for him, how he will one day be judged before the throne of God for his actions. Job also speaks of how he let the opinion... Continue Reading →

The Book of Job: Chapter 30
If I had to label Chapter 30, I'd label it as a Look at Differing Opinions. There's the People's Opinion, which Job relates to in the first few verses, and there's God's Opinion. The difference between the opinion of the assembly and God is vastly different here. While Job is complaining about how he'd recently... Continue Reading →

The Book of Job: Chapter 29
In the Twenty-Ninth Chapter of Job, we are given a glimpse of Job's life prior to the enemy's attack. Job was in a place of position and helped prosper his community. He was honored and respected, people called him blessed and sought out his counsel. Yet all of it had become empty. Job had so... Continue Reading →
