Something To Think About
Serving Two Masters: STTA!
Something To Think About! I believe most Christians understand Christ's teaching about serving two...
God Hears Your Prayers: STTA!
Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The first verse of the Bible...
Careful With Your Mocking: STTA!
Something To Think About! There is no excuse for mocking someone's God-given looks, disabilities or impediments, or incidental things like the name their parents' gave them. It is not only ungodly behavior, but it is ineffective even from a pragmatic point of view. It...
Lifestyle Creep: STTA!
A few threads on the Bogleheads forum, especially this one, got me thinking lately about "lifestyle creep." Maybe "lifestyle inflation" is a clearer term that requires less explanation, but then I couldn't have put Richard Nixon in the featured image, and that...
Don’t Mention the Tension: STTA!
Somewhere along the way, Denny, we have to reckon with the fact that we - myself included - went too far. We put limitations on women that exceeded what Christ demonstrated. We did it instead of wrestling with the tension between the Gospels & epistles. We’re...
Discernment: STTA!
Something To Think About! If I ordered seeds for my garden, and you replaced my tomato seeds with poison ivy, I'd have no idea! I would have no choice but to plant the seed, water it, and encourage its growth, only to be disappointed (or even poisoned) in the end. But...

Something To Think About! The fruit of the Spirit includes patience. Being impatient is sin and ought to be treated as such and mortified. It's a common theme, even among those who are not Christian, to view patience as a virtue. Patience, or impatience, is still a...
God is Unchanging: STTA!
One of the biggest mistakes we make when thinking about God is that He has to be like us in order for Him to relate to us and for us to relate to him. While there are some ways our attributes are like God’s, in most ways He is not at all like us. Most importantly, God...
Unfathomable Submission: STTA!
Something To Think About! When we study the Bible, we need to be very cautious about assuming things not stated in the text. Our best wisdom will fail us if we rely on it too much. But God has given us minds which are capable of intelligently asking questions of the...
What Will it Cost You: STTA!
Something To Think About! Being a TAU writer has offered me a view of a process with which I have no personal experience: the sale of a Christian book. Allen Nelson's From Death to Life is available on ThingsAbove.Us, and it was always my impression that when a man...
Arminian Hopelessness: STTA!
Something To Think About! The Arminian doctrine which denies the perseverance of the saints (in order that man's "free-will" may remain sovereign and autonomous) is detestable to the people of God. A God who would hold you in His bosom against your own will is not a...
