Here you go: How to edge your bed better than a pro in 10 easy steps. “Pretty arrogant,” you might say! Q: What makes you think you do it better than a pro? A: Because I hate edging and I don’t want to do it more than once a season. Pros don’t mind coming back every […]
Time for a few gardening posts (yes, birding is an extension of gardening). This has been on my mind for a while now. Given that we’re 16 degrees below normal temperature-wise and the steady rain has made the soil unworkable, I don’t want to be in the yard. Writing about it is almost as good. […]
Do you know the powerful working of God’s grace in your life? Paul did. But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them– yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me. […]
“I AM WHO I AM.” God’s famous words to Moses, revealing God’s own Name in Exodus 3:11-14. His Name alone conveys truth and authenticity! Just think about it! As followers of Jesus Christ, we should aim to reflect the same kind of truth and authenticity. To echo the Apostle Paul’s words “But by the grace of God I […]
“An empty tomb could be accomplished in so many different ways,” you say, “What proof do you have that Jesus rose from the dead?” Ah, but there’s more to the empty tomb than just a say-so. There are the Resurrection appearances of Christ that are more than just appearances. They provided eyewitnesses and evidence! 1 […]
So here I am writing a series on Resurrection and suddenly I find myself feeling rather devastated. Since 1999, I’ve been a volunteer answering Bible questions and questions regarding relationships from a biblical perspective on a site called AllExperts. I was a volunteer there prior to its sale to About.com (2000) and suddenly this week, there’s an […]
Had the Gospel been like that old-fashioned game of “telephone” in which each person whispers to the next a quick message with the final telling being nothing like the original message, Christianity would be nothing. It would be worse than nothing—it would be a lie. But the good news of the Resurrection is that what’s […]
On Easter morning, we call out “He is Risen! He is Risen Indeed!” But what does it mean to rise, to be Resurrected? Is a Resurrection really all that different from being resuscitated, reincarnated, revived, or recovered? You bet it is! It’s been a week since Easter. Is your life any different? Or nothing more […]
On Easter morning, we call out “He is Risen! He is Risen Indeed!” But what does it mean to rise, to be Resurrected? The Bible has some clear instruction about that topic in 1 Corinthians 15 which we will explore in detail over the coming days. It serves Christians well to consider What It Means […]
Why do Christians care about the empty tomb? Why was it important for Easter morning to acknowledge that He is Risen? Jesus wasn’t vaporized out of Pilate’s interrogation or away from the crowd’s shouts of “Crucify Him!” He didn’t disappear (poof!) off the Cross into heaven on Good Friday or get beamed up like a […]
