How did Judas die? Did he really hang himself?

How did Judas die? Falling into a field or hanging himself? Huh? How can there possibly be any question about Judasโ€™ manner of death if the choices are that he either fell into a field or hung himself? Besides, everyone knows Judas hung himself. Didnโ€™t he? And yet, both are presented in the Bible!

Jesus told parables. Was He hiding something?

Jesus told parables. Lots of them. But what exactly is a parable? Whatโ€™s the point of them? Are parables to tell us something? Or are they to hide something from us? Either way, how much do we really understand of the parables Jesus told us? Thatโ€™s a lot of questions! Letโ€™s get some answers.

Do you know โ€“ what is Advent about?

Itโ€™s Advent season. But do we know what it is? What is Advent is about? For instance, do we realize that the first Advent has come and gone, and now weโ€™re waiting for the second Advent?

What Is A Pop Tart Christian?

I read the quote above and immediately thought about pop tarts. Unlike the picture on the left, there was practically nothing inside. ย Very little filling compared to the dough. ย Not unlike a new Christian. ย Or even an โ€œoldโ€ Christian who was satisfied with the initial โ€œcommitting their life to Jesusโ€ โ€“ and then does nothing after that. ย Someone who doesnโ€™t allow the Holy Spirit to fill them and guide their lives.

The Great Commission apparently isnโ€™t so great anymore

The Great Commission apparently isnโ€™t so great anymore. I feel like that must make God cry. And yet, it doesnโ€™t seem to bother many Christians these days. And why should it? Apparently, they donโ€™t even know what it is. And way too many Christians have never even heard of the Great Commission! So sad.

Much too tired

I can't believe it's been three plus months since the last time I wrote anything here. It's not like I haven't done anything. Or don't have anything to write. For those Garth Brooks fans out there, I was just listening to Much too young. That probably describes why there's been nothing here. lately.
