A psalm of thanksgiving and praise.

November 27, 2014. “For long ago in the days of David and Asaph there were directors of the singers, and there were songs of praise and thanksgiving to God. And all Israel in the days of Zerubbabel and in the days of Nehemiah gave the daily portions for the singers and the gatekeepers; and they set apart that which was…

“Hallelujah, what a Savior.”

November 2, 2014. “Who has believed what he has heard from us?     And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed? For he grew up before him like a young plant,     and like a root out of dry ground; he had no form or majesty that we should look at him,     and no beauty that we…

A bow in the cloud.

October 30, 2014. “Then God said to Noah and to his sons with him, “Behold, I establish my covenant with you and your offspring after you, and with every living creature that is with you, the birds, the livestock, and every beast of the earth with you, as many as came out of the ark; it is for…

3 Obstacles that prevent us from having confidence in Christ.

September 24, 2014. “Therefore do not throw away your confidence, which has a great reward. For you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of God you may receive what is promised. For, “Yet a little while, and the coming one will come and will not delay; but my righteous one shall live by faith,     and if…

All glory to God, no matter what.

September 23, 2014. So, in case you were wondering why I didn’t write a post yesterday, I promise I have a valid excuse. I would like to take this opportunity to thank my Lord above for dealing so gently with me. It was a bad wreck and my air bags didn’t deploy, yet I walked…

I AM is His name.

September 22, 2014. Full disclosure: This was not written on September 22. I am going to backdate this post, because this was the day I was involved in a pretty serious car accident. If you want to know more about that, read this post. Since everything could have been so much worse, and I really…

Epistemic distance.

September 19, 2014. Have you ever wondered why God doesn’t directly reveal Himself to the world? I am taking a online class in apologetics, and it never ceases to amaze me that even in fields where I think I am relatively well versed in that I can still learn of concepts that I had never…

A psalm of the weary.

August 8, 2014. Have you ever had one of those days where nothing seems to go right? Typically this day would come at a climax in life where you are trying to organize everything and get prepared for a major life change, you know, right when you need it to come (read with heavy sarcasm)….

Singing.

July 27, 2014. I have been to two different singings in the past three days and they were both really good. Over the years I have learned to appreciate why God loves singing so much. There is something almost mystic when it comes to music. It has been studied for many, many years and captivates…

Be silent before God.

July 19, 2014. “Be silent, all flesh, before the Lord, for he has roused himself from his holy dwelling.” (Zechariah 2:13) Passages like this one almost give me chills when I read them. Sometimes I think that American Christianity has gotten so big and flashy that we forget our relationship to the Lord God Almighty,…

Behold, the Christ.

July 12, 2014. I listened to a great sermon last night entitled “Behold the Christ” by V. P. Black that I would recommend listening too. You can find it by clicking on the link above, if you are interested. It is an older sermon in a style that you may not be accustomed to, but…
