The Bible Doesn’t Say That

Have you heard of some sayings that feel so good when you hear them, and even think they are Scripture? Guess what? Some of them aren’t, and through this three-part series, we will only look at three. In this reflection, we will focus on “follow your heart.” I only published this one here. The other […]

The Book of Hebrews: Living by Faith

This article is the last reflection in the series, The Book of Hebrews. It covers the last three chapters of the book: 11 through 13.  Here’s how I’d divide the entire book.  First, the author of the book makes the point of who Jesus is, in chapters 1 through 10.  Remember the letter was originally […]

Power, Perseverance, and Witness

We’ve covered pretty much the entire book of Acts. What’s left is Paul’s last trip, which, to some, is his final missional journey. But, others only refer to this section, chapters 21 through 28, as Paul’s trip to Rome.  As we studied in our previous reflection, Conviction over Convenience, Paul’s trip to Jerusalem was like […]

The Supernatural

In this reflection, we look at Acts 10, as a continuation of our study series on the Book of Acts. From my previous article in the series, it looks like we’re skipping chapters 5 through 9.  But, let me give you some background to help you not feel like missing what’s going on in those […]
