Tough Love (Realization)

How are we to know if something is wrong or sinful and then be convicted about it unless someone tells us (whether people or the Bible or the Holy Spirit)? So this question came to my mind a month or so ago. I can’t remember what brought the question to my mind, but this is […]

Is all sin created equal?

James 2:10 For the person who keeps all of the laws except one is as guilty as a person who has broken all of God’s laws. For all truly born again Followers of Christ, He has placed His Holy Spirit in us. One of major things that the Holy Spirit helps us with, is convicting […]

Does God make mistakes?

This post is from something that I read on Facebook the other day, that really made me start thinking. What got me thinking was the comment that someone had put with a particular story, and the comment was “If God doesn’t punish America then He will have to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah.” The story […]

Notes from the Sermon

So I pulled this paper from my nightstand the other night, and for some reason this is a past note that I have held on to. You know, typically in church bulletins they have a section for notes, and this particular Sunday I wrote something down. The two thoughts I jotted down were: 1) In […]

Branches, Denominations, what do they mean, and why are there so many?

Quick flashback, if you don’t know much about me, I have grown up in church as long as I can remember. The churches that I have grown up in all my life have been Baptist churches. For me I haven’t known any different, because that was all I knew, so it is interesting that for […]

Prayer obligation

So tonight at work, I had a random thing happen to me. One of my associates came up to me and said, “hey Ryan, I need you to put someone on your prayer list.” Not too often do I have someone say that to me, especially at work. So I say, “of course,” and I […]

Are you part of the Many or the Few?

I was headed home from work today and heard a song from my CD, and the lyrics that got me thinking went like this: When I wake up in the Land of Glory And with the saints I will tell my story There will be one Name that I proclaim That middle line stuck […]

Wandering

‘Because your men explored the land for forty days, you must wander in the wilderness for forty years—a year for each day, suffering the consequences of your sins. Then you will discover what it is like to have Me for an enemy.’ Numbers 14:34 My wife and I were reading some of our book tonight, […]

Ecclesiastes Chapter Four: Flip Flop

So what stands out to me in this chapter, is how Solomon flip flops. What does that mean? When reading through this chapter, he starts off by saying what we don’t need (to be motivated by success and envy what our neighbor has) or what is bad (all the oppression and tears that take place […]

Repetitious

When I get ready to write a new post for my blog (like I am doing right now) I get this thought in my head, “Have I already said this before?” Sometimes I question what I should put on here and think to myself, “Is this really what God wants me to put on here?” […]
