You Can’t Get There From Here

by | October 2, 2020 | John, New Testament | 0 Comments

“Those Who Can Do. Those Who Can’t Teach”

by | March 10, 2020 | Ezra, Old Testament | 0 Comments

My uncle said it. I am pretty sure he had never read George Bernard Shaw. Most of us who know the saying, believe it is a proverb— not something lifted out of a novel. The Bible, however, teaches us something different in Ezra 7:10, “For Ezra had set his heart to...

Stoplights Are Not Suggestions

by | October 23, 2020 | Galatians, John, New Testament | 0 Comments

They have a purpose. Stoplights exist so that there will be fewer accidents. They tell us when we can safely go through an intersection and when we can’t. Imagine a world where people regularly ignored stoplights. Stoplights have a purpose. In John 15:17, Jesus gives...

 Air Force’s first core value is, “Integrity First.” Every airman was required to learn what it meant. Two of the better definitions were: doing what is right even if no one is watching, and doing what is right even when it hurts. It takes courage to live with...

In the Air Force, and probably the other branches as well, you don’t always get clear guidance on tasks. A boss once asked for a report on a long-range plan. After working on it for weeks, he said,  “I was thinking something with more clouds to indicate...

Greek Yogurt Is Terrible
