-

-
Irreverent Reverence Day 68: Numbers 17-18 and Acts 20Eutychus wasn't probably the first man who fell asleep in church, but he is the most remembered. So what if you are Eutychus today. I guarantee your church won't forget it, which is a real shame. -

-

-
Irreverent Reverence Day 65: Numbers 11-12 and Proverbs 19Sometimes we forget what advances we have today, technologically speaking. The same happens with blessings in our life.

-
Irreverent Reverence Day 50: Numbers 1-2 and Acts 14Have you ever spoken for God so well that others thought you were gods? Me neither. However, if someone asks you if you are a god, say "no". -
Irreverent Reverence Day 59: Leviticus 26-27 and Acts 13Do good, and good will happen to you. Do bad, and the opposite will happen, right? Not necessarily.
-
Irreverent Reverence Day 58: Leviticus 24-25 and Proverbs 17So how bad is swearing. Let's just say in some cases, it is punishable by death.

-
Irreverent Reverence Day 55: Leviticus 18-19 and Acts 11How did the disciples work with Saul after what he did to the Christians? I imagine it was a slow process of forgiveness, which never moves at the pace that it should. -
Irreverent Reverence Day 54: Leviticus 16-17 and Acts 10When Peter saw a vision of a sheet with animals on it, he didn't believe a voice from heaven that said he could "take and eat". It always is hard to do something new, when the old tells you it is wrong.
-
Irreverent Reverence Day 53: Leviticus 14-15 and Acts 9When Saul became a Christian, I'm sure he had to tell his superiors what happened. I now present to you Saul's Resignation Letter.
-
Irreverent Reverence Day 52: Levitcus 10-11 and Acts 8What would it be like if superheroes existed? Church attendance would probably go down as it would no longer be required to have faith to see miracles. This is what Simon the Sorcerer could do, but he couldn't hold a candle to the apostles.
-
Irreverent Reverence Day 51: Leviticus 10-11 and Proverbs 15Nadab and Abihu died rather horribly, but also stupidly. How do we respond to a death, when it could have been so easily been prevented.
-
Irreverent Reverance, Day 50: Leviticus 8-9 and Proverbs 14I seriously couldn't think of a better topic than this. This won't be a gem.
-
Irreverent Reverence Day 49: Leviticus 6-7 and Acts 7The priests in Moses day had to live on offerings of the people for their sins. How did they live when people were sinless? Or were they fat all the time.
-
Irreverent Reverence Day 47: Leviticus 4-5 and Acts 6We all know that when we confess our sins, God will forgive us. What about for the sins that we don't know about? -

-

-
Irreverent Reverence Day 42: Exodus 33, 34 and Proverbs 12Moses kept a veil on his face after he met God. Was it because he wanted to, or is that what the people wanted?
-
Irreverent Reverence Day 41: Exodus 31, 32 and Acts 2When Moses saw the people with the Golden Calf, he described what he saw as "not victory or defeat", but singing. Why does that matter? -
Irreverent Reverence 40: Exodus 29, 30 and Acts 1I believe that it was Einstein who said "God does not play at dice". However, man is a different story. How can this work together? -
Irreverent Reverence 39: Exodus 27, 28 and Matthew 28Considering the work that cross that Jesus did at the cross, is there any reason to have a Tabernacle now?
-
Irreverent Reverence Day 38: Exodus 25, 26 and Matthew 27Why in the world was there a need for an Ark? Did we need something material that we needed to understand God?
-
Irreverent Reverence Day 37: Exodus 23, 24 and Matthew 26If you hear a lot of talk in Christian Circles about "glory". However, what does that even mean?
-
Irreverent Reverence Day 36: Exodus 21, 22 and Matthew 25It is always nice to receive grace, but does it have an expiration date? -
Irreverent Reverence 35: Exodus 19, 20 and Matthew 24How is it that one can love God and fear God at the same time? Find out here. -
Irreverent Reverence 34: Exodus 17 18 and Matthew 23It's funny how the "woe to you" message that Jesus said about the Pharisees applies to Christians today.
-
Irreverent Reverent 33: Exodus 15 16 and Matthew 22Taxes. A frickin' necessary evil, I guess. What if there is a way of not paying what you owe? Take it.
-
Irreverent Reverence Day 31: Exodus 11 12 and Matthew 20The story of the workers in the vineyard is often avoided by Christians, but it has a lesson that most Christians need to hear.
-

-

-
Irreverent Reverence Day 26: Exodus 1 2 and Matthew 17Just what would we do if we woke up and found ourselves in Nazi Germany. I would like to think that our morals would stay as they are. -

-
Irreverent Reverence Day 21: Genesis 41-42 and Matthew 14Sometimes God will intervene, but other times, God just wants us to do it ourselves. Can't we pray either way?
-
Irreverent Reverence Day 20: Genesis 39-40 and Proverbs 7Every wonder why God intervenes on some situations and not others? Yeah, me too.
-
Irreverent Reverence Day 19: Genesis 37-38 and Proverbs 6How do adulterers go from faithful to faithless? It's an easier step than you realize.
-
Irreverent Reverence, Day 18: Genesis 35-36 and Matthew 13Every wonder why the supernatural always speak in such vague terms? Maybe they enjoy watching us try and figure out what they are saying.
-
Irreverent Reverence, Day 17: Genesis 33-34 and Matthew 12Jacob's sons practiced some questionable behavior when they took revenge over the rape of their sister. Makes you wonder how much questionable behavior is part of God's plan, and how much isn't.
-
Irreverent Reverence, Day 16: Genesis 31-32 and Matthew 11When Jacob realizes that his brother is coming, he prepares for him in a not-so-brave way.

-
Irreverent Reverence, Day 12: Genesis 23-24 and Matthew 9Ever wonder why the Bible seems to repeat itself? Don't let the repetition get old.
-
Irreverent Reverence, Day 11: Genesis 21-22 and Matthew 8Just when you think God's promises are coming to pass, he then goes back on his word. Yeah, we've seen it before, and we might see it again.
-
Irreverent Reverence, Day 10: Genesis 19-20 and Matthew 7When the place is about blow, you don't get to choose your exit route.
-
Irreverent Reverence, Day 9: Genesis 17-18 and Matthew 6Good and bad people have one thing in common: They must do their deeds in secret. The bad to avoid getting caught, and the good because God commands them not to. -
Irreverent Reverence, Day 8: Genesis 15-16 and Proverbs 3Sometimes the Lord makes a promise, and it seems like forever before He keeps it. However, God operates on His time, not ours.

Irreverent Reverence, Day 4: Genesis 7-8 and Matthew 3It's always easier to work toward something than to do what appears to be meaningless work day in and day out. How do we know that we are on the right path? -
Irreverent Reverence, Day 3: Genesis 5-6 and Matthew 2Amazing how Christians have removed the true meaning of the crucifixion and Noah's Ark in our artwork. Is this a good thing, or can the truth be told?
-
Irreverent Reverence, Day 2: Genesis 3-4 and Matthew 1Ever wonder what the world would if Adam and Eve hadn't given into the forbidden fruit? Explore here, and wonder how much paradise we lost.
