    10-11-22 - Their God is Their Belly
    Oct 11 2022

    Philippians 3:19 is an interesting and weird passage that seems to indicate people were worshiping food and eating, but it has such a deeper and richer meaning that Paul is both correcting and encouraging the Way God’s Saints live this life.

    7-20-22 - Self-Control
    Jul 20 2022
    Trail thoughts on "Self-Control" as a way of life from observations from Galatians 5:19-26 & 2 Peter 1:3-7. Self-Control isn't just simply stopping yourself from doing back, it's intentionally directing your life toward good. I use the analogy of a car to illustration this point. You control the car using 3 things; the steering wheel, the accelerator, and the brake. A life intentionally lived only by the brake pedal doesn't go anywhere, a life lived without the brake pedal is out of control and harmful, and a life lived without the steering wheel is a life with no direction or trajectory, so your life might end up somewhere good or off the side of a cliff.

    6-2-22 - Israel
    Jun 2 2022
    Coffee with Alan - 6-2-22 - Israel Over the years, I've tried to navigate thoughts and beliefs about the nature of Israel, God's covenant with them, salvation, the importance of allegiance and blessing with Israel as a Saint and as an American. In this coffee with Alan, I delve into a new-to-me perspective and biblical arguments given that I am currently holding and fleshing out the many of the implications of. In essence; God's covenant is still very much active with Israel. He still blesses Israel, holds His covenant with Israel, and blesses people and nations who bless Israel. *Though, they are not saved nor will they participate in the resurrection to eternal life in the NEW Jerusalem unless they come to faith in the LORD Jesus Christ.

    How do we conduct ourselves in this world as God’s saints? The New Covenant is all about being mindful and intentional with how we live our lives and interact with one another in the Church and with outsiders in the world around us. Love on purpose.

    Coffee with Alan 12-15-21
    Dec 15 2021
    Too often in church theology and practice, we don't make much of the Holy Spirit as much as we do the Father of Jesus. There is often an overemphasis of the Bible over and above, and no where near equal to, the Holy Spirit, the third and just as vital member of the Trinity as the Father and the Son. During this Coffee with Alan, we discuss the vital importance of not placing our study of the Bible over walking by the Spirit. The Bible is not a part of the trinity, the Holy Spirit is. We need to not become a one-winged bird in our faith. In order for our faith to take flight, we must see the scripture and God's Holy Spirit as the two wings by which our faith propels us upward and onward.
