The hardened heart of Pharaoh
A few weeks ago, at my mom’s house, I had a discussion with my step-dad (who had been baptized earlier that day) about the difficulty of understanding why God would harden the heart of Pharaoh and deliver judgement after judgement on he and his people, who apparently had no option but to continue in their hard-heartedness as it was a position that was chosen by God (Exodus 9:12). Many have...

2 Timothy Overview
What an impassioned plea from Paul to Timothy. This letter exposes so much of what was going on at the time (and today). Many people were teaching things that weren’t true, telling fables, and leading people astray. These same people were using there “powers of persuasion” to take advantage of people, financially, sexually, you name it.

1 Timothy Overview
Was thinking about all of the debate that is taking place these days between the Reformed crowd (a broad spectrum I know) and the Pomo crowd (another large swath) and their differing hermeneutics (methods of interpreting scripture). Particularly, I find it interesting how one crowd holds to a “high view of scripture and preaching”, focusing on the core message of the gospel: sin,...

Why God hates divorce...
There’s no doubt in my mind why God hates divorce (Malachi 2:16), because there is nothing good that comes from it. Lives are destroyed, even in the most “civil” circumstances, divorce is death that is never final. My heart breaks for the children who lie in the tornado-like path of a relationship out of control. As a child of divorce myself, I understand all too well the...
