Hurry, hurry, hurry! My mornings are insane! I leave for work at 6am, which has cut my time in the morning in half. I feel like most of the time I’m posting things from my devotional readings at Skip Moen’s site. Sigh. Sorry! This morning the post I read asked a question about knowing God….

God and Omniscience
We so often talk about God knowing everything in advance, exactly what will happen and when, but we often don’t follow that to its logical (or rather not-so-logical) conclusion: if God is never wrong and He knows everything I will do in advance, then I have no choice because if I were to choose then…
Wisdom
Since I’m running late this morning and in light of the new school year starting, I’m posting a link to Skip Moen’s daily word post. It’s, appropriately, about enlightenment, the relative worth (or lack thereof) of knowledge, and the importance of application. Have fun! If you’re feeling (I can’t think of the word, but it’s…
If
Mark 9:22b-24 … But if You can do anything, take pity on us and help us!” And Jesus said to him, ” ‘If You can?’ All things are possible to him who believes.” Immediately the boy’s father cried out and said, ”I do believe; help my unbelief.” I am so much like this boy’s father.

Knowing
1 Corinthians 1:19-20 As the Scriptures say, “I will destroy human wisdom and discard their most brilliant ideas.” So where does this leave the philosophers, the scholars, and the world’s brilliant debaters? God has made them all look foolish and has shown their wisdom to be useless nonsense. It’s amazing what we know because of…
Know It All
Daniel 2: 29-30 “While Your Majesty was sleeping, you dreamed about coming events. He who reveals secrets has shown you what is going to happen. And it is not because I am wiser than anyone else that I know the secret of your dream, but because God wants you to understand what was in your…
Instinct
Romans 1:19 says that all people instinctively know the truth of God because He puts that knowledge in our hearts. But some people choose to push that knowledge away because then they can do what they want. The chapter goes on to say that God allowed them to do all the depraved things they wanted,…
