Easter and Passover – Part 2

“All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying,” Matthew 21:2 Last time we discussed how the Passover was began by God and we mentioned how God has such an attention to detail. This time we want to discuss how Christianity’s Easter celebration coincides with the Jewish Passover.

Easter and Passover: The truth is in the details

“These are the feasts of the LORD, even holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their seasons.”    Leviticus 23:4 Easter time is my favorite holiday. It is a time where we see the religions of Judaism and Christianity converge. When we think of Easter, we think of Jesus’ death on the cross and His resurrection

God’s Perfect Plan

Often times we run across different things, such as songs, movies, scriptures, or books, that touch our lives more than others. It may be because of situations we are going through or have gone through. It may be because of a particular interest we may have. I have has such a situation lately in the

Close of a New Year

As I type this, it is December 22, 2023. We are fast approaching Christmas Day and I am sure that I am not alone in saying how busy my schedule is. This is my favorite time of year as I find myself focusing more on what this time means to me. As a kid, I

Joshua Chapters 6 and 7 My teenage Sunday School class often hears me use the phrase “ripple effect” when talking about our lives. I try to stress to them that our lives are not strictly ours. They belong to God. He is the giver of life. Our lives are meant to be spent for Him.

Usually these moments fall under a traditional category. Mile markers if

Sounds of the Season 2

Back in 2018 I submitted a post where I recommended some of my family’s favorite Christmas albums. In case you were wondering, that list is still very valid as those albums continue to rank very high for us. Today I want to focus on a particular song. The song is by Casting Crowns featuring Matt

Salvation In Real Life

“And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.” John 11:43 This past weekend I had the privilege of going to Family Weekend at Union University in Jackson, Tennessee. My oldest daughter, Mattie, is a sophomore there. This year was a special Family Weekend as it is also Union

Judgement Day – How Will You Be Judged?

“For we must all appear before the judgement seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things don in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good of bad.” 2 Corinthians 5:8 We as people often choose not to think about the consequences of our actions or think that we

What Does God Require of Us?

“He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?” Micah 6:8 Over the years of teaching teenagers in Sunday school class, I have heard the question “What does God want me to
