We all have a problem with religion. It may have to do with something we believe in theory but fail to faithfully practice. It may be a lack of knowledge concerning what the Bible teaches. It may be judging against what we see others practicing. It may be that we are disenchanted with certain aspects of the church, the leadership, the preaching, or the worship. We may be discouraged when other Christians are not as seemingly dedicated as we are. Do I need to make a list here? We have a problem with religion! Well, guess what? It’s our fault. 1. It’s our fault when we are disenchanted with worship.…

It’s today! The Great American Solar Eclipse. I’ve been hearing about this for almost a year, seeing as I teach at a STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) Innovation school. We have been gearing up with professional development, activities appropriate for all ages and subjects, and online learning resources. Depending on the source you check, you may find different information about how long we go between solar eclipses. Did you know that’s because there is a difference in an annular eclipse and a total solar eclipse? Do you know the difference in the umbra and penumbra that happen during an eclipse? Those are fun facts that you may want to…

If you are a regular reader of our site, you know that we are gearing up for Polishing the Pulpit. In fact, on the day this article is being posted, PtP 2017 starts tonight!

The opening verses of Isaiah 6 is a high point in Scripture. The glory of God is on full display and we are arrested by the splendor of it all. Still, though we are enthralled by the scene, can you imagine actually being there like Isaiah was? The astonishing nature of it all caused this great prophet to state his sinfulness, as well as that of the whole nation. Still, God showed that the sin of this man was cleansed. It is in that moment that God asks the question, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” (Isaiah 6:8) With the splendor of God all around, and with…

In 2 Samuel we read of the grievous sin of King David. He sees Bathsheba, the wife of Uriah the Hittite, bathing. In his lust he sends for her, she comes to him, they lie together, and she conceives (2 Sam. 11:1-5). David is now in a real predicament. What is David going to do to cover up his sin? After numerous attempts fail to have Uriah, an officer in his army, come home to be with Bathsheba, David notifies his half-nephew and commander of his army, Joab, to participate in a scheme that would lead to Uriah’s death in battle. The battle ensues, Uriah is abandoned and killed, and…
