  1. Misunderstood

    Comments Off on Misunderstood

    Every once in a while, I get myself into a situation where I know I’ve been misunderstood. There are also times when I realize that I’ve misunderstood what somebody was trying to tell me. Without a doubt, we all experience this, don’t we?

    As I’ve thought about this, I’m struck by the story in Joshua 22 (verses 10-34). It’s an example of a misunderstanding that certainly could have ended in disaster. In fact, if one group of people hadn’t explained themselves to another group, there would have been a war.

  2. Sharper Than a Double Edge Sword

    Sharper Than a Double Edge Sword  — a word by Pastor Tony D'Amico from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "The Bible isn’t just a book, printed and bound to only be placed on a bookshelf. More than that, it’s alive and active. It’s also sharper..."

    Over the last few weeks, I’ve been learning about the historical use of a long sword. It takes great precision to design them. The long edge faces away from you, while the short edge is toward you. Additionally, the blade has three sections. First, there is the “Strong” — the section from the crossbar to the “Middle” section. After the “Middle” comes the “Weak” or the top half. Each part has advantages for combat. Swords are both defensive and offensive weapons. All of the parts work together to make it formidable.

    The comparison of God’s Word being like a sword (found in Hebrews) certainly came to life for me.
