John the Baptist

Mat 11:2-3 Now when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples, and said unto him, art thou he that should come, or do we look for another? While it might be easy for us to think we would recognize Christ when he shows Himself to us,

hell

I was reading in a poem recently and the writer used the line “Hells freezing north no tempest can send out” and I found myself wondering about hell… the images of hell tend to lean toward the burning…but here was a poet using hell and freezing together…and I don’t mean the comedians using hell freezing

psalm 147:15-18

He sends His command to the earth; His word runs swiftly He spreads the snow like wool and scatters the frost like ash He hurls down the hail like pebbles. Who can withstand His icy blast? He sends His word and melts them; He stirs up his breezes and the waters flow as I look

had an interesting discussion today…

with a group at a local church…the topic was ‘the shack’ – a book creating many waves in and out of the church. Although the views were varied and thoughtful – I am concerned how much fiction (as clearly this book is) can be approached as fact / truth. I think some of the questions

Mary and Joseph

sometimes it is interesting to consider how Joseph must have felt – being engaged to Mary, and then getting the news she is pregnant, before they were married, and before he had ‘known’ her.

…as long as it is called Today…

Hebrews 3:13 mentions the importance of encouraging each other daily – in order that we don’t become hardened by the deceit of sin. In both the King James and New International the Today part is capitalized. It is the email equivalent of TODAY. I take it as a shout. Right now! This moment. Immediately. Most

fire

is mentioned over 500 times in the bible (KJV). I was reading in Hebrews 1:7 and the passage states; And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire. and I was struck at the idea of being a minister or servant of a flame of fire.

giving thanks and the Eucharist

since we are in the week of ‘Thanksgiving’ in America – I decided to do a word study on the word thanks. If you have ever been to this site before you should know I have an interest in etymology, and I use the Blue Letter Bible a lot in my studies. In doing a

Paul, Apollos, Cephas, Luther or Calvin?

Around the year A.D. 55 Paul wrote a letter to the Corinthian church. In that letter – among many other topics he mentioned basically that their contentions were not good. 1 Corinthians 1:11 – 18 They were arguing about who they were affiliated with. You could call it a divisive spirit. Some in the town
