I don't remember most of the dream. I just remember there was a lion in it. I can't remember exactly, but I think it was about to consume me. I woke up with a gasp and a cold sweat, and in that one breath, I cried out for God to get me out of my... Continue Reading →
From the first time I heard the word, perspicacity, I was intrigued by it, because it encompasses several important abilities that we as followers of Christ should either possess or strive to posses. The simple definition is keenness of mental perception and understanding; discernment; penetration. The way it was presented to me was simply understanding... Continue Reading →
One of the most common themes in Job is sons. In chapter 1 Job is described as "the greatest of all the men of the East," but the original Hebrew literally says "sons of the East." Job had seven sons. Job's sons feasted. Job offered sacrifices on behalf of his sons. Now there was a day... Continue Reading →
"They brought the donkey and the colt, placed their cloaks on them, and Jesus sat on them. A very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road, while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road.

When I left for work this morning, it was grey and raining, still a bit dark, a normal Tennessee winter morning. First driver I encountered ran a stop sign with no headlights on, and I don’t mean he slowed down. He just went straight through. Within a mile or so, a tractor trailer pulled... Continue Reading →
"I regard Job 1 and 2 as the strangest chapters theologically in the Bible. The story they tell challenges what most Christians believe about God, man, law, causation, and time. If everything that people knew about God were based on the first two chapters of Job, they would have a strange religion. On the other ... Continue Reading →
We all go through different seasons in our lives. Sometimes life is flying by, and we are coasting through unscathed. Other times we feel like we are climbing Mount Everest through knee-deep peanut butter and briar patches. Right now, I am dealing with the latter. I am a perfectionist, and I am SUPER impatient.
