In our study this week, Jesus doesn’t seem too thrilled with the idea that people want more of him. You’d think Jesus would be ecstatic that a crowd was seeking after him, right? Isn’t that the goal? That more people would want Jesus in their lives? As we continue with the rest of the passage,Continue reading “Jesus’ surprising idea about work – John 6:22-51, Part 2”

Sometimes the most spiritual thing you can do is…eat? – Acts 27, Part 4
If you like to eat, I think you’re going to like this post. I love eating. Sometimes I wonder what people throughout the centuries would think of food options that we have available to us in 2020? We eat like kings of old could only dream about. In fact, we have the foods of theContinue reading “Sometimes the most spiritual thing you can do is…eat? – Acts 27, Part 4”
Should Christians change their views on morality as their society changes? – Characters: Daniel, Part 2
Is it okay for Christians to update their views on ethics and morality? Can we innovate our stance on traditional theology? There’s no doubt that American society has been heavily influenced by Christianity, and still is in large part, but as our societal views change, can we adapt Christianity to fall more in line withContinue reading “Should Christians change their views on morality as their society changes? – Characters: Daniel, Part 2”
Must Christians eat kosher? (how God’s list of clean and unclean foods in Deuteronomy 14 matters to Christians, part 4)

Eating fish heads (how God’s list of clean and unclean foods in Deuteronomy 14 matters to Christians, part 1)
What do you consider disgusting food? Brussels sprouts? Tomatoes? Hot dogs? Fast food? Fish? We all have our likes and our dislikes. For me, some of the most disgusting food I’ve had was on mission trips. In India it was some kind cow intestine or worse. In Malaysia I had Tom Yum soup which isContinue reading “Eating fish heads (how God’s list of clean and unclean foods in Deuteronomy 14 matters to Christians, part 1)”
What can satisfy the soul? part 2
You are what you worship. Agree? Disagree? If I had said, “You are what you eat,” that would be a bit easier to agree with. Food goes in, metabolizes, fuels and shapes the body. You actually are what you eat. But what about worship? Does worship have the same affect on us as food? AllContinue reading “What can satisfy the soul? part 2”
The hope of the world….fertilizer!
I once listened to a very thought-provoking audio book called An Edible History of the World by Tom Standage. I learned a lot about seeds, food development, and especially fertilizer. Standage does an excellent job digging through the history and progress of fertilizer. Many of you have gardens and you know what a wonderful differenceContinue reading “The hope of the world….fertilizer!”
