All of us have seen cats playing with a ball of yarn. They hit the ball of string around and chase it. They stalk the ball of yarn and pounce upon it. They wrestle with it. Over time they unravel the ball of string. If the cat gets wrapped up in the yarn as they are […]

Easter has deepened the way that God can speak to his people. The faithful and godly have always been God’s people. Now more powerfully, the LORD speaks to us not as people of the promise, but as people of the resurrection. To add to that intensity, the LORD reminds his people that we are “created […]

Quite often we will hear, “You can’t prove that there is a God.” While we may not be able to establish an empirical proof, we can certainly point at many witnesses that God is real. On the other hand, there is too much proof that there is a Satan. We are going to think about […]

No where in the New Testament does it tell us how Satan felt about the events of Holy Week. I suspect that he was very pleased at first. To Satan what we call the “triumphal entry” must have looked more like “15 minutes of fame” for a loser. Coming into Jerusalem on a donkey shouted […]

Early in Jesus’ ministry Nicodemus visited Jesus. Nicodemus recognized that Jesus was someone special, but beyond that, he was not sure what to make of Jesus.

Are you tired of Puce yet? “Yes?” Good, you agree with Jesus who is very tired of unrepentant sin. So far we have explored the spiritual will of Puce. The will of Puce is against God’s will. We have explored the spiritual result of Puce, – road kill. Now we need to examine the ability […]

We have demonized the color Puce so that we can think of the content of the texts more clearly. When we address the sinful nature of a person, we do not want to speak badly of people. We do not want anyone to think that the LORD minimizes people. Christians are kind people. To think […]

Another verse that powerfully presents the nature of Puce is Ephesians 2:1,2 – As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, 2 in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at […]

Neither sin nor someone trapped in sin has a color, yet, we are going to arbitrarily assign one – “Puce.” Puce will be used to describe anything and everything having to do with sin. For those who like the color puce – sorry. First, we will examine the nature of Puce. 5 Those who live […]
