Ready To Hear

One would think that it is not too difficult of a task to just sit back and listen. I am sure that we have all dealt with this from others in the past. You were having a discussion with someone about a topic and the response you would get from the other party within the discussion would have you thinking “this person is not listening to me!” I get it. There is nothing more frustrating than feeling unheard. Your thoughts and feelings may be completely invalidated because the other person is refusing to just hear you out. My wife will […]

Things People Believe

There’s been a picture floating around on social media saying, “Name something that people think is in the Bible but isn’t.” I took the liberty to post it on my own account with a list that I came up with off the top of my head.

Our Most Important Doctrine

2 John 9 Whoever transgresses and does not abide in the doctrine of Christ does not have God. He who abides in the doctrine of Christ has both the Father and the Son. Typically, whenever the word “doctrine” is brought up, the first few thoughts that comes to my mind are matters like marriage, divorce, remarriage; plan of salvation, the work of the church, and our worship (singing, Lord’s supper, prayer, preaching, contribution). There is no doubt in my mind that we strive to do our best to get all these points right. In some instances, there are disagreements over […]
