“Yet wisdom is justified by her deeds.”
Matthew 11:19b ESV
What a great verse!

As I’ve been working on my second paper for my NT Survey course, I’ve noticed several constant themes in a number of the Pauline epistles. Paul’s consistently takes time in the beginning of each epistle to write encouragement and thanksgiving to the recipients of his letters. And he is not merely buttering them up, or […]
Have you ever had a conversation, or series of conversations, with someone that resulted in a decision? If, down the road, you began to second guess the validity of that decision, what would you do? You would initiate another conversation with that person to solidify and reaffirm your course of action.
Recently, after a good deal of prayer, […]
It’s amazing how movies reveal certain things about our character. I love a good, dark, real drama. Michelle isn’t so found of them. We recently watched “There Will Be Blood.” I thoroughly enjoyed it. Michelle made some sort of “Ylech!” sound at the end. She asked me how I could enjoy these “seedy” movies so […]
“Rise up my love, my fair one, and come away.”
Song of Solomon 2:10
Lo, I hear the voice of my Beloved! He speaks to me! Fair weather is smiling upon the face of the earth, and he would not have me spiritually asleep while nature is all around me awaking from her winter’s rest. He bids […]

Yesterday, I read through Romans. And this portion, which my Bible entitles ’Marks of the true Christian,’ jumped out at me:
“Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good. Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor. Do not be slothful in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord. […]
Grace without measure,
Mercy ever-flowing,
Love beyond pleasure,
Rising up and growing,
Neither ceasing nor slowing.
Peace deep in my soul,
Beyond comprehension,
Rest when I lose control,
When I sense life’s tension
Breeding apprehension.
When caught in this strife,
I have a thread of hope,
The promise of eternal life,
That goes beyond the scope
Of this life’s slippery slope.
Jesus, you alone
Meet me where I am,
You redeem and […]
Life is a combination of extreme joys and acute sorrows. On Saturday morning, Michelle and I attended the wedding of a good friend of ours. It was a wonderful ceremony full of good worship, genuine laughter and tears of joy. From there, we went and visited my dad in the hospital. His body is racked […]
