Last night at sundown began one of the most observed days on the Jewish calendar. Yom Kippur is the Day of Atonement. It is a day heavy with importance. For the past few weeks, Pastor Nick has been walking us through the Tabernacle as described in the Old Testament. Once per year, on the Day... 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.

I really try hard not to do things mindlessly. If at all possible, I am considering the real purpose behind everything I do. Even though I can be guilty of it, I don't want to just run through the motions of things never knowing the purpose behind it. You won't find me ever wearing something,... Continue Reading →
