Genesis 4:1-16 ~ My musings on the story of Cain and Able. It is so easy to go through the motions when it comes to life and God. How easy and how often do we do things out of obligation and spite? We pretend everything is good on the surface, but inside we are aContinue reading “Gen 4 – The Heart Matters”

Musings on Gen 2
Genesis 2 – part 2 in my reading of Genesis (surprise surprise 😂) While many sermons and books could be written on any one of the many valuable and instructive themes, situations and topics presented in this chapter, I found it was helpful to list out some of the points I thought God was makingContinue reading “Musings on Gen 2”
A God of Order
Genesis 1 Part one of my musings from Genesis. Isn’t it amazing we serve a God of order!? Unlike many of its contemporaries, the Hebrew creation story stands in vast contrast; a God of order compared to creation through chaos. The surrounding nations of the time tended to have the similar concept, waring deities resultingContinue reading “A God of Order”

The battle between fleeting pleasure and eternal gain. It is so easy to fall for ‘small’ temptations like social media, thatContinue reading “Musings on Why”
Authority
John 12:44-50 Jesus says He does not speak on His own authority, but rather He speaks on the authority of the Father. How much more should we not speak on our own authority?! If Jesus who is equal to the Father in every way, in deity, wisdom, power, infinitely part of the Trinity, submits andContinue reading “Authority”
Who’s Glory?
John 12:42-43 Who’s glory do we seek? Really we only have two options; the glory of God or the glory of man. How often does the glory of man keep us from what we k njow is true, or what we should do? It is so easy to believe in secret when believing causes publicContinue reading “Who’s Glory?”
