Insights from the Bible
I just got this insight (and another chapter for my book).
I realize that as a parent, I have such a close bond of identification with my children that whatever happens to them it’s like it was happening to me.
Recently when my daughter received a nice gift, I felt it was as if the…
In the book of Matthew in the Bible, chapter 8 recorded the well-known event of Jesus calming the storm.
The disciples were in the boat with Jesus when a violent storm kicked up. Much to the disciples’Â irritation, Jesus was asleep. The disciples called, “Save us, Lord! We’re going to drown!”
I am writing down what I am studying and learning in Acts.
One of the hardest person to forgive is yourself. If you’ve done something wrong or stupid in the past, it comes back to haunt you even years later. I still kick myself for some of the stupid things I did in college.
I’ve studied the book of Acts many times. But I am forgetful. I never remember all the history of Paul’s travels, who the Roman and Jewish rulers were at his trials, and how all the other books of Paul are related in the timeline of Paul’s travels. So I am studying it again.
When we say Christianity is a relationship, not a religion, what does that really mean?
How can you have a relationship with an invisible and infinite Being?
I had an insight at church today.
From what I read, all other religions require its followers to adhere to a set of standards, a system of worship…

They were young, handsome, intelligent. Who wouldn’t want to be in their place?
This is one of my favorite chapters in the Bible, right up there with the book of Habbakuk.
Deuteronomy 8 is especially relevant to us after devouring a huge Thanksgiving meal!
For those of us who have more than we need, and even have much of what we want, this is a command and a warning that we must take to heart.
Daniel and his friends knew that they were chosen to eventually be leaders in Babylon. Out of all the cream of the crop from Judah, some would get the honored positions while others may end up in mere middle management as some department head.
Did Daniel and his friends try to get to the top by playing their cards right with the chief official?
I picked the book of Daniel for my study.
I was going to skip Chapter one because I have studied Chapter one so many times. But each time I read the Word of God, it changes me in a different way.
I am glad I read Chapter one. I’ve been on Chapter one for two days now.
(Read yesterday’s post first)
Yesterday, I posted a scenario that Greg Koukl encountered with a Jewish man. The Jewish man said he believed in God, and was living a moral life. Those were the important things, it seemed to him—how one lived, not what one believed.
What would you say to this Jewish man?
