Thoughts about God

Dear Reader,
This blog presents thoughts about God. God is the greatest pursuit in life. Finding him and knowing him and living with him, for His sake, is the essence of the purpose of all human life. We were made for him. Our discovery of Him is because He has pursued us. If you have found Him, it is because you were found of Him.
Perhaps, you will find here some common and familiar ideas of the One who is above all else the lover of our souls. I do hope that you will find some comfort here. It may even be that you will find something more to be learned and found of Him.
Above all else, I desire that these musings may be useful to you, and in some way, bring you closer to God and give honor to Him, who is, and was, and always shall be.

Christ is risen indeed.” It is not ea

Lord of the Dead: Unexpected Comfort for the Dying

“For none of us lives to himself, and none of us dies to himself. For if we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord. So then, whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord's. For to this end Christ died and lived again, that he might be Lord both of the dead and of the living.” (Romans 14:7-9) Recently while I was re-memorizing and meditating upon these words, a phrase jumped out at me. Surely you have had this experience when reading the Bible. S

God is Good

God is Good

Psalm 119:68 “You are good and do good; teach me your statutes.” Jesus said, “No one is good but God.” (Mark 10:17) There are many things we might learn about God. But it seems to me that this is one of the most basic and helpful things to know and experience of God: God is good. But what does this mean? I would like to start with God himself. God is good in and of Himself. We often think of good or goodness as an attribute of someone who is benevolent. Someone may be

Easter

Easter

1 Corinthians 15:17 “And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile and you are still in your sins.” Easter will be widely celebrated in the Western Christian world this April. Some of us in the Christian family of churches do not follow the Christian calendar of holy days. Nevertheless, Easter presents an opportunity for us all to remember a central and indispensable element of Christianity, namely the bodily resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ from the dead. Apar
