The Thees, Thous, and Whithersoevers of The Bible

Last updated on: February 7, 2018 at 10:13 am By Brenda Renee Coats

Some time ago, the leadership of our church decided to switch from the New King James Version and begin using the English Standard Version of the Bible in services. Years ago, I’m thinking well over twenty, I began using the New King James, much to the chagrin of the church where I was raised, which was KJV only. But hey. I was an adult and married and I could finally make my own decisions, thank you very much. (Clearly, I... Read more

Forgiving Trump is Not The Same As Excusing Trump

We would be better off accepting that though everyone has a specific worldview, leaders who agree with that worldview don’t always get to rule. Read more

By Faith, We Let Our Loved Ones Go

Last updated on: January 23, 2018 at 5:55 am By Brenda Renee Coats

All must die. Death is a fact of life. But though we know this in a logical sense, the loss of loved ones always arrives as an unwelcome thief that shocks us with its presence. Read more

Hygge in My Home

Last updated on: January 16, 2018 at 8:55 pm By Brenda Renee Coats

Hygge, if you’re not familiar with the term, is pronounced hue-guh. It’s a Danish term for coziness, and is apparently all the craze as of late. Coziness is not a sufficient translation, as a sufficient translation from Danish to English doesn’t exist, according to my source. But it’s the closest one can get to the real meaning. I’ve just finished reading The Cozy Life by Pia Edberg. It was a short and fast read, but sufficient in... Read more

How C.S. Lewis’ ‘The Great Divorce’ Made Me Think

Last updated on: January 5, 2018 at 12:39 am By Brenda Renee Coats

I’ve completed my first book in the 2018 Book Reading Challenge. The challenge is not — I repeat — not for sissies, y’all. The idea is to read 100 books in a year. That’s basically two books per week, save for the weeks of Thanksgiving and Christmas. What I’m trying to say is that I’ve likely set myself up for failure. Will I get to 100? I doubt it. Will I try? Absolutely. And in the process, I’ll have spent... Read more

Mary and The Providence of God

Last updated on: December 22, 2017 at 12:37 am By Brenda Renee Coats

Three weeks or so ago, I decided to start listening to R.C. Sproul. I’ve mostly tuned in to some seminary sessions of his that cover the Providence of God, which you can find here, if you’d like. He’s an excellent speaker when it comes to anything, but especially Providence. He will make you think, but not so much you walk away with a throbbing headache. He makes deep and difficult subjects understandable, backs them with Scripture, and throws in some... Read more
