QOTD – “what is your biggest pet peeve?” Examples Gen 4:3-9 – Cain The first crime recorded was Cain’s murdering of his brother Abel because God showed favor to Abel’s offering and not to Cain’s. Cain was a farmer while Abel was an animal herder. After God directly confronts him about his anger and “fallen […]
I am filling-in this week in our Sunday School class LIFE group. So. This week’s “question of the day” is: what is your biggest pet peeve (or two if they’re tied / really close)?

When a sinner is saved by grace, it is both their […]
This is the first in a small series of posts on church membership. I am not convinced that church “membership”, as implemented by most churches I have attended or visited through my life, is a Biblically-valid stance to take.

I attended the Metropolitan Tabernacle this past Sunday. For perhaps only the second time in my life was I in a church that had a mix of ages, colors, ethnic backgrounds, etc that I think really will represent how Heaven will look.
