2 Samuel 21:1-14 – Praying through the Bible #104 – A Prayer for Governmental Sin

| November 7, 2013

Governmental protectionism, religious zeal, national identity, political affiliation, church affiliation, family and personal pride; all these can lead to unintentional consequences caused by good intentions or even those bad. Somehow we have gotten to the diseased conclusion that what we do is no one’s business; that hurting others can only be felt directly; that zeal, […]

1 Corinthians – Are We As Wise as the Corinthians?

| November 7, 2013

Are we as wise as the Corinthians? When thinking of God’s Church in Corinth, we think of problems such as immorality, greed, division, unscriptural worship, and so forth. And yet as immature as they were, in their wisdom they wrote a letter to a man of God for inspired answers. Even they knew God had […]

1 Corinthians 8:1-2 – Spiritual Fatheads

If we eat a lot of food without exercise we get a fat belly. If we eat a lot of spiritual food without spiritual exercise, do we get a fat head? Application is what makes knowledge not puff us up with pride.

2 Samuel 15:7-9 – Praying through the Bible #102 – A Prayer as a Pretense to Betrayal

| November 5, 2013

“I’ll pray for you,” so easy to say. Could it be an excuse to do nothing? “I’ll pray for you,” too many say. But is it a cold, empty statement hiding our hurt? “I’ll pray for you” but I won’t talk to you. “I’ll pray for you,” but don’t ask me to forgive you. “I’ll […]

John 1:51 – Amen, Amen

| November 1, 2013

Many modern translations try to capture the meaning of Jesus saying “amen” (or as in John, “amen, amen”). Some say “truly,” “I assure you,” “I tell you the truth,” “verily” and so on. I’ve always liked the simple “amen.” This might be the first time in history that I think ghetto slang has bettered all […]
