February 21, 2014. “Daniel answered the king and said, “No wise men, enchanters, magicians, or astrologers can show to the king the mystery that the king has asked, but there is a God in heaven who reveals mysteries, and he has made known to King Nebuchadnezzar what will be in the latter days. Your dream…

Two lessons from a wise man.
February 20, 2014. Today a friend of mine and I were studying Ecclesiastes, and we ran across a passage that I liked so much that I decided it was worthy of yet again jumping back into this book for today’s post (in all fairness, it really doesn’t take much for me to make that decision)….
A perspective on truth.
February 19, 2014. Today’s post might lean more towards logic and philosophy than you have been accustomed to when it comes to the subject of religion. Don’t be frightened, I’m not going to get too metaphysical or anything. However, I do believe that there is a certain amount of logic and reasoning that can be…
The number to be completed.
February 18, 2014. Revelation is often viewed as a scary book to most Christians. Some are brave enough to dive into the great liturgical abyss, but most of us steer clear. I was like that until this previous summer, where I found a really good podcast sermon series on the concluding book. I now see…
Final instructions.
February 16, 2014. The apostle Paul writes two letters to the disiples in Thesslonica, both of which are short and a good read. He does something that I find very interesting and unique at the end of the first letter, however. He gives some final instructions, but they seem rushed and compacted. It’s almost like…
The love of God.
February 14, 2014. For this Valentine’s day post, I am totally going to steal my friend’s idea. Instead of focusing on the love that is shared between two mutually exclusive couples (not saying that I have anything against that), I’m going to talk about the love of Christ for us. There is a hymn that…
Fret not!
February 13, 2014. “Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him; fret not yourself over the one who prospers in his way, over the man who carries out evil devices!” (Psalm 37:7) Today’s post will be short and sweet, as I want to allow the Psalmist to do most of the teaching. The only reading for…
Various trials.
February 12, 2014. I have a friend right now who is going through something I can’t even imagine living through. Her brother is in the hospital hanging on to life by just a thin chord. She is one of the most genuine girl I know about her faith, and it is so hard to see…
A new creation, holy and precious in his sight.
February 11, 2014. “But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. Once you were not a people, but now you are God’s people; once you had not…
Bearing one another’s burdens.
February 10, 2014. “Turn to me and be gracious to me, for I am lonely and afflicted. The troubles of my heart are enlarged; bring me out of my distresses. Consider my affliction and my trouble,and forgive all my sins. ” (Psalm 25:16-18) We all have our troubles and trials. We all go through rough…
God be not frightened.
February 9, 2014. “For who is God, but the Lord? And who is a rock, except our God?” (Psalm 18:31) Over the past few days I have been reading a book that has been challenging my worldview. The book is call The Language of God, written by Dr. Francis S. Collins, head of the human…
