I have been somewhat taken aback by the volume of material posted over the last four or five months regarding the oppression of women in the body of Christ. To my shame, I did not recognize this was as widespread an issue as it seems to be. The pervasiveness of the issue is clearly evinced…

Some of you know that my “day job” is working in IT, more specifically, software development. At various points, a software developer will want to test what they have coded up to be certain it is behaving as desired and not producing any negative side effects. To do so, the developer must execute what is…

The Love Chapter Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant– 1 Corinthians 13:4, ESV Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,– 1 Corinthians 13:4, KJV For most of you, I could say, “the love chapter” and your…

God is not a genie in a bottle that we rub to get three wishes. Neither is God a vending machine into which we deposit money and press buttons to get what we want. It bothers me to see people treat God this way. I suspect it bothers God as well. But if there were…

I attended the funeral of a dear sister in Christ this past Saturday. Such gatherings are a mixed bag of emotion for believers. We grieved the loss, yet celebrated her victory. It is particularly difficult for her husband, also a dear friend. He has suffered an astounding loss, yet celebrates her being in the presence…

Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.– Jude 1:8, KJV A couple of weeks back we were in Jude, looking at Cain, Balaam, and Korah. This week I felt a strong urge to return to Jude. It is such a short letter, but one rich with nuggets…

What Is a Trinity? I have seen a significant increase in Trinity traffic online of late. People get pretty worked up about it, and I understand that. It’s an important doctrine, albeit one that few, if any, can satisfactorily explain. Consider this simple closing remark from the apostle Paul to the church at Corinth. The…

A letter we don’t hear taught or preached on much is the letter of Jude. Jude’s letter is a laser beam aimed right at the heart of the church of his day, and it is frighteningly appropriate for the church of today. Jude begins his letter saying he really wanted to write a nice letter…

If someone were to ask you to list attributes of God, you might come up with responses like majestic, all-powerful, loving, or glorious. Someone else might add, unchanging, self-existent, or eternal. These are all appropriate responses, and there are many more like them that, given time, we could list. But as I pondered the “godness”…

Many times I have shared the story of how, in 1984, I listened to a missionary describe a conversation he had with a gentleman cab driver from a country that views Christianity with great skepticism. The missionary hoped to learn what it is about the Christian faith that the man found so difficult to accredit.…
