Posted on June 10, 2024 Written by Mark McIntyre Leave a Comment

The story of Gideon has been on my mind all day today. If you are not familiar with Gideon, the story can be found beginning in Judges 6. In particular, I have wondered about what Gideon was feeling before the angel showed up to call him into action. I find Gideon’s response to the angel […]

Dealing with the brokenness

Posted on June 5, 2024 Written by Mark McIntyre Leave a Comment

On my walk this morning, I was thinking and praying about all the brokenness in and around me. Specifically, I think of all the injustice I encounter and how our culture condones and sometimes even promotes it. I started to build a list of some of the things in this category, but the point is […]

Help my unbelief

Posted on June 3, 2024 Written by Mark McIntyre Leave a Comment

In my previous post, I quoted these words of Jesus: “This is the work of God—that you believe in the one he has sent.” John 6:29, CSB When I think of all the times that I have not fully, or even partially, trusted God, when I think of all the times when I have not […]

Living out Grace

Posted on June 1, 2024 Written by Mark McIntyre Leave a Comment

It is one thing to know about grace, it is entirely another to live as if grace is real. I was reminded today of the many ways that I have chosen to live as if I am not under the grace of God.

As Christians, we believe that the Bible is God’s revelation to humanity and gives us a proper understanding of how He views us. Therefore, it is important to read the Bible to allow us to gain a proper perspective on who we are and what we should be about.

No Death

Death is Dead

Deuteronomy 14:1b-2 You shall not cut yourselves or make any baldness on your foreheads for the dead. For you are a people holy to the LORD your God, and the LORD has chosen you to be a people for his treasured possession, out of all the peoples who are on the face of the earth. […]

Election 2016

Thoughts on the upcoming election

For the first time in my adult life, I don’t like either candidate that the major parties have put forward for the office of President of the United States. I see more harm than good coming from either candidate being elected to that office. I wish we could have a do-over for the primary elections, but alas we cannot.

Church Cliche

Let’s not overstate the case – Another cliche to avoid

It is important to think about what we say to a world that needs Jesus. Some of our cliches are not helpful. In this post I consider one and explain why I think this cliche should be avoided.

Be courageous

The question is how can we be courageous when we don’t really feel that way?
