Thought Meets The Word
As Paul tells us in Acts; “all the Athenians and the foreigners who lived there would spend their time in nothing except telling or hearing something new.” The Greeks had thought while the Jews had the Word, until the two met one day in Athens. Many of the ancient Greeks tried to think their way to God but never quite got to the truth. Aristotle had the “prime mover” or the “un-caused cause” which created…

This is My Name Forever
This is my name forever, and thus I am to be remembered throughout all generations-Exodus 3:15 (ESV) So, what is this name that we are supposed to remember throughout all generations? Well, that question is not as easy to answer as it should be. In English versions of the Bible we learn in Exodus 3:14 that God’s name is I AM, or I AM WHO I AM. However, after Exodus 3:14 we hardly see the name…

A Silent Battle and a Still Small Voice
A man sat in a hospital bed with a decision to make about his future. He had just had a “cardiac incident” and was going to need heart surgery. This was not a surprise, he knew growing up that his heart condition would mean surgery in the future, and he knew for about two weeks prior to the incident that the time was close. This decision was not the decision, there was no alternative here,…

A Peace Which Surpasses All Understanding
We have all seen the famous “Footprints in the Sand” poem; a man dreams he is walking on the beach with God when scenes from his life flash before his eyes. He sees two sets of footprints in the sand representing his walk with God, but he notices that during the hard times in his life there is only one set of footprints. When he asks God why He left him during the hard times…

Who Do You Say That I Am?
Other than hardcore atheists who simply do not want to even admit Jesus was an historical figure, there are not many people who question the historicity of Jesus. The real question revolves around who they believe He is. Most atheists and other non-Christians would probably say he was a good, moral, peaceful man and a great teacher of moral truths, some would even claim that he was a prophet, and a smaller number still might…

‘My God, My God, Why Have You Forsaken Me?’
My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?– Matthew 27:46 I find this verse to be the most heart wrenching verse in the Bible. Here we see the full anguish and despair of Jesus. As he is nearing his death He cries out in exasperation and pain. This verse is also probably one of the hardest verses to explain to people who do not believe that Jesus was God, and honestly it is easy…

Peter and Paul: Denial and Redemption
As a Christian do you ever feel as if you’ve sinned so badly that you’ve lost your salvation? Are you a non-believer who has thought about accepting Jesus Christ but you are hesitant because you believe your past disqualifies you from gaining salvation? Those fears are understandable and I would guess that many of us have felt something like this before, but today we’re going to talk about a couple of people and their stories…

Greater Love Has No Man Than This…
“Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” To lay down one’s life for one’s friends is the greatest act of devotion and love one person could possibly show to another. How many of us would actually do it though? Many of us have probably told somebody else that we would die for them, but when push came to shove would we have the courage to…

What is Truth?
“What is Truth?” Those three words were mockingly uttered by Pontius Pilate to Jesus shortly before he washed his hands and sentenced him to death. He knew that the truth was that Jesus was innocent and did not deserve to die. He gave into the will of the masses and what they wanted the truth to be. This question came just after Jesus told Pilate that he came into the world to bear witness to…

Peter Walked on the Water
There were 12 men in a boat headed across the water when a sudden wind came out of nowhere. Although some on board were lifelong fishermen, and had plenty of experience, they were scared. This must have been like nothing they had seen before, the boat felt as if it was going to fall apart and they feared for their lives. Suddenly a figure appeared and it was headed towards them, walking on the water.…

How great the chasm that lay between us.
How high the mountain I could not climb.
In desperation, I turned to heaven,
And spoke Your name into the night.
Then through the darkness, Your loving kindness,
Tore through the shadows of my soul
