The Bereans Blogs

Welcome to The Bereans Blog — my personal collection of faith reflections, devotionals, and stories inspired by Scripture and everyday life.

Every article here is written by me, drawing from my own experiences, observations, questions, and study of God’s Word. Some begin with an ordinary encounter. Others begin with history, science, culture, or a difficult question. But each is an attempt to examine life through the lens of Scripture and to ask what God may be teaching us through it.

You’ll find moments of faith woven through the ordinary — lessons discovered in unexpected places, questions worth wrestling with, and reminders that biblical truth reaches far beyond Sunday morning.

You’ll also find reflections connected with my creative journey, including Pushing Glass and other stories from my life.

These are not the writings of a staff, ministry team, or group of contributors. They are one person’s continuing journey of thinking, questioning, learning, and testing what I encounter against the Word of God.

Click below to read the latest reflections. May each one encourage you to search the Scriptures for yourself and draw you closer to the One who gives them life.

All older blogs (>2500) can be accessed through the Archives.

Do I Recognize Evil? (2 Timothy 3:5)

Years ago, my wife and I attended a couples Bible study at our church. Among the participants was a married couple who were relatively new to our congregation. We didn’t know either of them very well, but the husband seemed like a pleasant enough fellow. He was friendly, personable, and appeared interested in studying God’s … Continue reading Do I Recognize Evil? (2 Timothy 3:5)

The Unanswerable Question (Proverbs 26:12)

How do you know when you don’t know? This is not a play on words. It is a question I faced throughout my career in medicine, and it is a question that applies just as much to life. As physicians, we are trained to look for answers. A patient presents with a problem, and it … Continue reading The Unanswerable Question (Proverbs 26:12)

God Is Laughing (Psalm 2:4)

I have been watching what is happening around the world, and I have to admit that it makes me uneasy. China. Iran. Russia. The United States. Every day there seems to be another warning, another military maneuver, another threat, another reason to wonder whether something much bigger is about to happen. I know I shouldn’t … Continue reading God Is Laughing (Psalm 2:4)
