random religious ruminations: July 2009
http://jim314.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
A place for my thoughts, my questions and the occasional answer. Saturday, July 4. And my tongue shall speak . . . Of Your praise all the day long. (Psalm 35:28). In our current Sunday school series, More Than a Creed, we finished up looking at the historical creeds last week with the Apostles' Creed. Tomorrow begins a deep dive into The Baptist Faith and Message. By Kelley, Land, and Mohler. 1 The Bible (obviously the first on any list and one that should be read regularly and with extreme humilty).

random religious ruminations: Then the disciples took him . . .
http://jim314.blogspot.com/2010/09/then-disciples-took-him.html
A place for my thoughts, my questions and the occasional answer. Tuesday, September 28. Then the disciples took him . . . By night and let him down through the wall in a large basket. (Acts 9:25). Bible characters made some strange exits, didn't they? The two Jericho spies, David, and Saul all made great escapes by being lowered down walls. Makes for great storytelling, doesn't it? Those must have been heart-pounding escapes involving hurried prayers, quick thinking, and steady hands. Steady hands?

A place for my thoughts, my questions and the occasional answer. Tuesday, July 22. In the day that I call, . . . Answer me speedily. Psalm 102:2b. I was reading this Psalm the other day and noticed that the Psalmist didn't. God to answer- he. God to answer- and he told God to do it. Incredible boldness and brashness. Or is it? Tuesday, July 1. Yet who knows . . . Whether you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this? Sunday was the last lesson in the Jewish Holidays series. It was an interesti...

A place for my thoughts, my questions and the occasional answer. Thursday, June 19. Avoid it, do not travel on it . . . Turn away from it and pass on. (Proverbs 4:15). My children stayed with my parents this week and today we traveled from Chattanooga to Atlanta to pick them up. Then, we all drove to Mobile, AL to spend a few days with my wife's parents and sisters' families. All total, about 500 miles in a rental car. Thursday, June 12. That I may discern . . . Between good and evil. (1 Kings 3:9b).

random religious ruminations: November 2011
http://jim314.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
A place for my thoughts, my questions and the occasional answer. Wednesday, November 30. I hope that everyone has at least a few people in their lives that encourage them. For me, most of those folks are at my church. One was particularly helpful tonight and it got me thinking about some of the encouragers from my past:. My Geometry teacher, for showing me that God is orderly and beautifully complex and that understanding His creation can help in understanding Him. Grace and peace,.

random religious ruminations: January 2009
http://jim314.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
A place for my thoughts, my questions and the occasional answer. Saturday, January 31. Some trust in chariots . . . And some in horses; But we will remember the name of the LORD our God. (Psalm 20:6). It is good to remember that there is a great chasm between my name, my reputation, my fame, my glory, and the Lord's. It is so good to remember the name of the Lord- the name that encourages, motivates, loves, nurtures, and saves. Tuesday, January 27. How long will you slumber . . . View my complete profile.
