Sounds of the Season

Christmas time is unique in the fact that it has music all it’s own. How many other holidays can you think of that have it’s own special music? There are some patriotic holidays that have music and songs that we commonly hear, but they are not strictly for or about that particular holiday. This is

Put Yourself in Our Shoes

“Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost. Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away

Tree of Jesse

“And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots:” Isaiah 11:1 This post is a little different. I ran across something that I wanted to share. I am writing this the week after Thanksgiving. This time of year, always causes me to

David and Bathsheba Part 6

David has been confronted by Nathan, the prophet, about his sin. David has confessed and asked for forgiveness. God has forgiven David. So, it’s all over, right? Not hardly. Let’s backtrack a little bit. Look back at what David said should happen to the rich man who stole the lamb. David said the man should

David and Bathsheba Part 5

“And the Lord sent Nathan unto David…” 2 Samuel 12:1 Have you ever done something wrong or questionable in your life and tried to avoid certain people? When we are in the wrong, there is often various people we choose not to interact with. They could be a parent, grandparent, spouse, friend, or maybe a

David and Bathsheba Part 4

“….thy servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also.”                                                                                              

David and Bathsheba Part 3

“And the woman conceived, and sent and told David, and said, I am with child.” 2 Samuel 11:5 We open up today’s post with David receiving some alarming news. He is notified by Bathsheba that she is pregnant. I am sure David did what a lot of guys do in this situation, and try to

David and Bathsheba Part 2

“And it came to pass in an eveningtide, that David arose from off his bed, and walked upon the roof of the king’s house: and from the roof he saw a woman washing herself; and the woman was very beautiful to look upon.” 2 Samuel 11:2 As mentioned in the previous blog, David is not

David and Bathsheba Part 1

2 Samuel 11 One of my favorite characters in the Bible is David. Not because of our similar names (although kinda cool in my opinion), but because of how human David is. We can learn a lot by studying the life of David. We can easily see the things that David did right in his

Get Out of the Boat

In our last posts we talked about how the Holy Spirit is referred to as the Comforter and why. Today’s post continues with a similar line of thinking. We find our scripture for today’s post in Matthew 14. Jesus has finished teaching a great multitude of people and feeding the five thousand plus. He tells
