OK, so I used to be a math guy, and I still like it for one reason: there is very clearly an answer to a problem. Every math problem in every math book has one answer. Not two answers, not twelve answers…just one. Though the solution may be difficult to discover, it is there.

A New Song
One great way to make Scripture come alive is to rewrite it (carefully and reverently) in your own words. It allows you to personalize the words written so many years ago in a new way. I did this with Psalm 96 the other morning, and it was refreshing to me…

Full Expression
Ever wonder why God seems to repeat Himself a lot in the Bible? I mean, there are some themes that run through His word over and over and over again. Themes are even repeated in some books of the Bible. I’m quite sure that He repeats Himself because we are hard-of-hearing…or maybe because we are [...]
