On a few occasions lately, I have come across a story, or a verse from the Bible that doesn’t seem to match what I know of who God is. From my understanding of him from the whole of the Bible, and from living life with him every day, interacting with him, getting to know him……
Life With God
Working on The Book…
No, not “The Book”. Just, my next book. I am sitting in a coffee house for a couple hours today, reading through all my old posts from last year. I am thoroughly enjoying it, and looking forward to not only compiling and organizing, but just sharing these stories from the past year that I believe…
I Want To Be God
After some harsh words spoken in anger to my son last night, and the regret I was feeling afterwards, and the thoughts that whirled through my head on how to fix it, I realized what my ultimate goal in life is. I want to be God. I want to always respond in kindness and with…
Galatians [3:24-29]
Remember we were studying through Galatians? 🙂 Galatians 3:24-29 Let me put it another way. The law was our guardian and teacher to lead us until Christ came. So now, through faith in Christ, we are made right with God. But now that faith in Christ has come, we no longer need the law as…
Galatians [3:19-23]
Galatians 3:19-23 Well then, why was the law given? It was given to show people how guilty they are. But this system of law was to last only until the coming of the child to whom God’s promise was made. WHOA! What did he just say? I forgot it was so plainly spelled out. There…
Galatians [3:15-18]
Galatians 3:15-18 Dear brothers and sisters, here’s an example from everyday life. Just as no one can set aside or amend an irrevocable agreement, so it is in this case. God gave the promise to Abraham and his child. And notice that it doesn’t say the promise was to his children, as if it meant…
Galatians [3:10-14]
Galatians 3:10-14 But those who depend on the law to make them right with God are under his curse, for the Scriptures say, “Cursed is everyone who does not observe and obey all these commands that are written in God’s Book of the Law.” Consequently, it is clear that no one can ever be right…
Galatians [3:5-9]
Continuing with my study of and comments on the book of Galatians… Galatians 3:5-9 I ask you again, does God give you the Holy Spirit and work miracles among you because you obey the law of Moses? Of course not! It is because you believe the message you heard about Christ. In the same way,…
Galatians [3:1-4]
Galatians 3:1-4 Oh, foolish Galatians! Another translation reads, “You stupid Galatians!” A nice intro line… 🙂 What magician has cast an evil spell on you? For you used to see the meaning of Jesus Christ’s death as clearly as though I had shown you a signboard with a picture of Christ dying on the cross….
Galatians [2:11-21]
Galatians 2:11-21 But when Peter came to Antioch, I had to oppose him publicly, speaking strongly against what he was doing, for it was very wrong. This is definitely something I struggle with. Paul seems to have no problem taking his brother to task about an area that at least in his own mind is…
