So I was watching X-Men 3 last night with my wife (in response to the new X-Men movie which is good, I recommend!), and in the middle I started thinking, “Man that’d be tight to be Wolverine!” As I was thinking about running around and cutting people’s heads off I got a gentle reminder from the [...] -

John 1:14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory , glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth . We’ve all been there. Someone asks our opinion and we want to be truthful but we also don’t want to offend. The scenario is cliché on [...]

Okay, I am writing this knowing that I probably don’t have this whole idea completely understood (obviously)! I definitely haven’t perfected it and would love some dialog as to whether or not you think this is right, mainly because I don’t wanting to be teaching truth if it is not complete truth, that’s scary (James 3:1).

My precious granddaughter’s name is “Hephzibah”. It’s a beautiful name but it isn’t simple and it isn’t convenient. When people first hear it, they want it re-pronounced, spelt, and explained. But the meaning is lovely: “my delight is in her”. Would every child know that their parents delight in them! God placed this name in [...]

We confess this frequently at my church: “Christ has died. Christ is risen. Christ will come again.” These are foundational Christian beliefs. Do you believe Christ is coming again? Many,many Scriptures reference the Lord’s Coming. Some of these just reference the “Day” or the “Revelation” but are included to show how foundational the Second Coming [...]

“….but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!” Romans 8:15 How different is true Christianity from man-made religions! We have a heavenly Father! I’m reading Quo Vadis by Henryk Sienkiewicz, a best-selling novel for about a century. The story is set in Rome about AD 54-68. Christianity [...]

Legalist, Are You Sure You’re Not One? So I was reading Romans the other day and came across a passage that sparked a lot of thought in my mind some years ago, and sort of re-sparked those thoughts today. Romans 7:5 says, “For while we were living in the flesh, our sinful passions, aroused by the law, [...] -

Perhaps you’ve heard the cliché “the oldest lie in the book” referring sometimes to “the check’s in the mail” but “the oldest lie in the book” is literally in the Book of Beginnings, the book of Genesis. It is spoken by the “father of lies”, satan. Satan’s opening line, posed as a question (Gen 3:1), [...]

Probably my favorite chapter of the entire bible (although there are so many!) is Matthew 7… The whole thing. I like it because it has deep wisdom put in a simple form; that is, the secret to happiness spelled out in an almost tangible form. It also shows that Jesus had a little bit of situational humor in [...]

Richard Venable wrote a new blog post: Sin without Law 3 years, 7 months ago · View
Romans 5:12-14 is an interesting, but confusing passage. Paul is talking about sin and the law, and makes some confusing statements about what things were like before the Law of Moses was given. Then, later in Romans 7:7-25, he addresses some of these same issues, and provides more clarity. Sometime, I would like to really [...]

Psalm 19 seems to be written with three main sections. First, verses 1-6, we have a description of the creation of God. David is reminding us how God’s attributes are demonstrated through nature. Although we may not understand Him completely, we know that He is there as His voice “goes out into all the earth” [...]
