What We Don’t Know

Jude 11 Woe to them! They have taken the way of Cain; they have rushed for profit into Balaam’s error; they have been destroyed in Korah’s rebellion. I am amazed at the lack of knowledge of so many people these days, especially the lack of basic history knowledge. We can see this as the propagandaContinue reading “What We Don’t Know”

Leviticus 10:9 Little Facts

Leviticus 10:9 “You and your sons are not to drink wine or other fermented drink whenever you go into the tent of meeting, or you will die. This is a lasting ordinance for the generations to come,  I enjoy watching and reading mysteries. But I am terrible at guessing the culprit. I always seem toContinue reading “Leviticus 10:9 Little Facts”

2 Peter 2:2 Bring It Down

2 Peter 2:2 Many will follow their depraved conduct and will bring the way of truth into disrepute. I was reading a news story this morning about the fall of another influential pastor in Australia. He did not keep the door closed on his own desires and longings, and those desires and longing led toContinue reading “2 Peter 2:2 Bring It Down”

1 Corinthians 1:17 Actual Leadership

1 Corinthians 1:17 For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel — not with wisdom and eloquence, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power. Many today look for leadership. And too often they are led astray by personality or perception. But these are not leadership. They areContinue reading “1 Corinthians 1:17 Actual Leadership”

Mark 15:15 Following the Crowd

Mark 15:15 Wanting to satisfy the crowd, Pilate released Barabbas to them. He had Jesus flogged, and handed hm over to be crucified. Crowds are fickle entities. One minute they are protesting the police and demanding that the police departments be defunded, and the next minute they are complaining that it is taking too longContinue reading “Mark 15:15 Following the Crowd”

Mercy in Strange Clothes – Romans 9:17

Romans 9:17 For the Scriptures says to Pharaoh: “I raised you up for this very purpose, that I might display my power in you and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.” I love fireworks. They are beautiful to watch and the bang is worth the effort. But I don’t love goingContinue reading “Mercy in Strange Clothes – Romans 9:17”

Other Teachers – Acts 18:26&28

Acts 18:26, 28 He began to speak boldly in the synagogue. When Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they invited him to their home and explained to him the way of God more adequately. 28 For he vigorously refuted his Jewish opponents in public debate, proving from the Scriptures that Jesus was the Messiah. There areContinue reading “Other Teachers – Acts 18:26&28”

Leadership Challenges – Numbers 14:10

Numbers 14:10 But the whole assembly talked about stoning them. Then the glory of the LORD appeared at the tent of meeting to all the Israelites. Not every moment as a leader is of equal satisfaction! Sometimes leadership can be an outright pain in the butt. People can be very fickle, changing opinion at theContinue reading “Leadership Challenges – Numbers 14:10”

Authority’s Hallmark – Mark 1:27

Mark 1:27 The people were all so amazed that they asked each other, “What is this? A new teaching — and with authority! He even gives orders to impure spirits and they obey him.” Sometimes it is hard to tell who is in charge of a group. This drives me nuts. We have gathered toContinue reading “Authority’s Hallmark – Mark 1:27”
