Warren Asked Me the Right Question at the Right Time I owe a great debt to Warren W. Wiersbe. He died last year, after a long and fruitful life of faith. The part of his work that I came to know and love is the “Be” series of commentaries he wrote. He wrote one … More The Thesis Statement of Leviticus & Warren Wiersbe
I’m So Glad To Be Back! I took several days after my last post to rest my eyes from the desktop monitor, and while I was doing that, our area of San Diego County experienced and confirmed its first locally-transmitted cases of the COVID-19 viral infection. My daughter’s school was shut down. My scheduled church … More Leviticus, Chapter 6:8-13 – The Law of the Burnt Offering
Welcome back to Leviticus. Today, we’re going to go through Chapter 5 and the first seven verses of Chapter 6 to learn about the Guilt Offering. Most English translations of the Bible use the title, Guilt Offering, but some call it the Trespass Offering or the Reparation Offering. All three translations paint an adequate … More Leviticus, Chapter 5 & 6:1-7 – The Guilt Offering
The “Sin” Offering is a Purification Offering Welcome to Chapter 4 of Leviticus. I’ve chosen water images for this post’s stained glass artwork. Water is the universal solvent in science, and it is the universal cleanser in daily life. Since today’s post is all about keeping things clean, I thought water would be an … More Leviticus, Chapter 4 – The Purification Offering
I planned to write about something else today. I was going to do a little piece to clarify the “clean” and “unclean” terminology in Leviticus for the Lent series, but I find myself unable to write it because I’ve got this thing pressing on me, and it’s drowning out everything else. On Monday, The Gospel … More Why TGC’s “PMS Article” Is a Problem
As those of you who read this blog regularly (thank you, by the way) will know, I grew up Catholic. I grew up super Catholic, if we’re being honest. I wore veils in church. The entire service apart from the announcements and sermon were spoken in Latin. There were rules and rituals for absolutely … More Lent 2020 – Let’s Talk About Repentance
Oh my goodness, I am in LOVE with this month’s SRT box. I’m actually not a fan of the art design on this one. It’s simply not my taste. These things are always subjective, but I don’t see myself really blissing out on the art for this one. That’s honestly okay with me because the … More She Reads Truth – February 2020 Box (Lent)
I’ve been afraid to post this one and put it off for a couple of days, changing it a bit and trying to make it more palatable. I even considered deleting it because I want to talk about Scripture, not this stuff. I have to, though. It’s pressing on me too much, and I think … More Let Us Repent, and Heal this Body
The first organized bible study I ever did was in the Tuesday Morning Women’s Bible Study at my church. Three years later, I’m leading that group, but when I first met these women, I had no idea what to expect. I’d only been attending church for about three weeks at that point, and I’d never … More The People Who Pointed Me to Jesus
That Happy Face Was a Lie This photo was taken in the 1990’s, about 3 years after I graduated high school. Just a few years before, at age 18, I was still a thoroughly churched “kid,” but I’d been struggling with doubts and questions for a long time, even at that age. In the … More Ministering to Teens – The Baffling Infantilization of Christianity’s Next Generation
