Personally, a thing I’ve done in the past is, in order to show my respect for the Bible, to
Never put it directly on the ground
Never put anything on top of the Bible (exception: another Bible)
Now, I bend the rules at times when it is not practical or when it would cause a fellow brother to [...]
If you’ll allow me, I’m going to indulge in a nerd-God moment:
In marriage, the biblical view is that two become one flesh, that is, 1 + 1 = 1. Ludicrous? Maybe not.
Suppose I am a neutron. If I am traveling almost the speed of light (~c) and I throw, say, an electron at almost the [...]
I’ve found that the longer the post, the fewer people will make it to the end. Another blogger has beat me to putting this to paper, so I’ll simply give credit where it’s due.
He asserts that for all visitors to read something, it must be 20 words or less. Ouch. Though sometimes, if it isn’t [...]
Some of you have gotten this as an e-mail forwarded by me but I still feel that this makes for a good reminder as we wrap up our semester theme of Passionate living. I came across this as an article of the site Of First Importance because I subscribe to his feed.
Loving Jesus like his [...]
In Celebration of Discipline, Richard Foster writes of disciplined grace as a way to live consciously:
In this regard it would be proper to speak of [spiritual disciplines as] “the path of disciplined grace.” It is “grace” because it is free; it is “disciplined” because there is something for us to do. In The Cost of [...]
Here’s something to think about during finals week.
How much do you value prayer?
Abraham Piper’s 22 Words Blog poses the question in a way that’s piercing to the heart:
Subject: Testing our perspective on prayer: How does it compare to other gifts we give people?
If a tragedy left you utterly destitute, would you rather a friend pray [...]
I’ve heard it said that another way for Christians to view the offering plate when it is passed by is Jesus standing there with nail-pierced hands held out.
As a college student without a job, I sometimes feel a bit uncomfortable when offering comes. I understand that I can give God something other than money. I [...]
So somehow I feel obligated to reply to this. I tag no one because I don’t believe in that viral coercion-voodoo bad luck garbage if you don’t pass ______ on
1. At what age do you wish to marry?
Eh, age is not as important as when God (and wife to be) feels my character is ready.
I [...]
I’ve heard it Gospel presented in a sermon as 2 words: But God.
Paraphrase: Man is depraved. Man is lost, Man is Hopeless. But God.
But God.
“But – blessed “but,” how it takes the sting out of the previous sentence! – But the Lord delivers him out of them all.” -Reference
But God.
Praise God.
-Tim
so I posted earlier about the verse prior to the ABC Passage (see below) last week as I am familiar with the meaning of the verse in the main passage. I’ve been thinking about the passage this week and I have some additional thoughts.

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by [...]
