My pattern of writing has been to place anything shorter into Gab and anything longer into this blog with a link to it placed in Gab. Today, I wrote a post in Gab and I will be linking to it in this blog post. The title of this post is…

The Great Covenant
First a little context: Moses and Aaron had confronted Pharaoh and God unleashed ten plagues upon Egypt, showing the might of God and the impotence of the gods of Egypt, until the Israelites were allowed to leave after 400 years of slavery. Even then, Pharaoh sought to enslave them again…
Rejoice when you are persecuted. How are we doing with that?
Matthew 5:11-12 ESV“Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you. I’m opening this post with…
It’s funny how something like a little case of COVID can interrupt your momentum
That’s right. I’ve joined the club of those with naturally-produced antibodies. Before this, I was starting to pick up momentum. If I had something short and pithy, it would be posted to Gab. If it got a little long, I would start to weigh it out and perhaps it would…

I really should have been taking pictures as this process went from concept to finished product. Instead, I’ll describe how I made it. Step one is to have a wife who is into Pinterest. You know, that site where you can find inspiration for a whole lot of projects to…
Macro Theology
First, allow me a moment to clarify terms. I imagine we’ve mostly heard of systematic theology. That is the practice of taking a variety of topics and gathering all of the biblical data available and then reaching a conclusion about each topic. The most faithful ones will describe how the…
The Faithfulness of God as seen through the Faithfulness of Christian Mothers
Our church was packed this morning as we celebrated our risen savior and remembered the mothers and grandmothers who pointed us to him. A biographical look at Timothy was the sermon, and it was shown that his father was an unbelieving Greek man. His mother, Eunice, and grandmother, Lois, are…
