I have been reading through the Old Testament for about a year now. The recurring theme is man’s sin, God’s grace, and redemption. Yes, there are lots of warnings and judgments, too, but we constantly see the Israelites straying from God. Their sin was idolatry. We all worship something. Idolatry started back in the Garden… Continue reading Why We Are Drawn To Idolatry

One Word to Describe You
Often, after you meet someone, they remember you with a word or two. Maybe you were kind, quiet, helpful, or respectful.

Is God Against Happiness?
We’ve all heard the saying “God wants you to be holy, not happy.” I’m sure I’ve even said it myself.

But I’m an Adult!
How often have you said or thought, “But I’m an adult!” How often have you heard someone else say it?

What Do You Worship?
Jeremiah 32 is another record of Israel’s sin of idolatry. Judgment would come as a result. Verse 35 should upset all of us. Idolatry always has a price. They would be carried away captive to a foreign land. But in this verse, they were sacrificing their children by fire to a false god. Maybe you… Continue reading What Do You Worship?

Can I Be Honest With You?
I just want to share part of my story. Maybe this will encourage you. Maybe it’ll make you think I’m crazy. I got married young. I had an okay example of marriage from my parents.

Is the Lord Your Savior?
Is the Lord Your Savior? I live in southeast Tennessee, and when you ask someone if they are saved, most people will say yes, followed by their reasoning. They respond with statements such as, “Granddaddy was a preacher,” “I have always believed in God,” “I was raised in church,” or “I am trying to live… Continue reading Is the Lord Your Savior?
