Pinky Promise (Numbers 30)

When an Israelite in the Bible times made a vow to God, it was private, between them and God. Unless, of course, if they were a woman. What gives?

I’ll buy it for you (Numbers 29)

He'd move mountains for us, stay up all night talking to us, pour out blessings so that we won't have room for them. How can we resist that? How do we give that energy right on back to Him?

How do I fall in love? (Numbers 28)

Love isn't something you trip and fall into. Love isn't a collection of butterflies or heady emotions. Love is...well, love is...

The First Stage of Grief (Numbers 19)

"It is better to go to a house of mourning than to go to a house of feasting, for death is the destiny of everyone; the living should take this to heart." - Ecclesiastes 7:2 This verse used to get on my last nerve.

Didn’t I Tell You? (Numbers 17)

Some of the men of Judah or Dan or Naphtali or Ephraim were not pleased. They wanted a different answer. They didn't want to obey. They didn't like God's decision. They disagreed with His law. Can you believe that? Of course you can.

One nation, under gods (Numbers 15)

Is there one list of doctrines that you must believe in order to be saved? Will every saved person believe the same thing? Is there one denomination that has the truth? What do you think? Is there? Have you found it?

Do our Christian traditions need to be cancelled? (Numbers 10)

And for every one of our Christian "traditions", there's someone pointing out everything wrong with it. There's someone calling for us to drop it and move on. There's someone thinking, Really? God will only save us, listen to us, like us if we do this?

In a Perfect World… (Numbers 9)

And when I'm scrolling through, I wonder, what would it take for all of this to be fixed? What would it take to make the problems go away? Yet I know I'm asking for too much, for perfection. What does a perfect world look like to you?

In Pursuit of Life (Numbers 8)

"I've dedicated my life to Christ". "Complete surrender to God". "We're here to glorify God in everything". We've heard it before. We know it's supposed to be us. But it's more than just pretty words or the Christian ideal. It's about saving our lives.

Required Donation (Numbers 7)

But this isn't just about our hard-earned paychecks. It's about our entire lives. It's about how we cut out our evening devotions because work was tough and all we want is to curl up in front of Netflix (guilty). We can't keep making these excuses.
