Snow & Sin

Mar 20 2015

A quick scroll through social media or eaves dropping in the checkout lane last week made me realize that most of my Jackson community either lives for snow days or lives to despise them. One of the worst realizations I had coming out of college and joining the workforce is that I no longer get a snow day. Sure enough, that snowy Thursday morning I tugged on the closest thing I have to snow boots, added an extra coat for good measure, and joined the other three cars on the road that were unfortunate enough drive down Vann Drive.

Book Review: Connected

Mar 06 2015

We put our newly learned Bible studying lessons into practice with 2 Timothy 3:16-17 and the Lord taught me a couple awesome facts about the text that I had not previously noticed.

Looking just at 2 Timothy 3:16-17 we asked,

What is the purpose of Scripture?

Verse 16 teaches us that it is “profitable for teaching, for rebuking, for correcting, [and] for training in righteousness.” God’s Word has the power to encourage us but we may not feel encouraged through absolutely every passage and reading. Some days, God’s Word will convict us of our sin and call us into action.
