For God saved us and called us to live a holy life. He did this, not because we deserved it, but because that was his plan from before the beginning of time – to show us his grace through Christ Jesus. 2 Timothy 1.9, NLT I really want to talk about holiness. However, one of our preachers preached on it not too long ago and did an excellent job covering all the bases. I do want to echo the preacher’s... Read more
In Dialogue with Doug Hansen… …or Where Have All The Cowboys Gone? part 2 because it was spurred on (pun intended) by this morning’s foray. You may never know how the 2 are connected. I’m still untangling the 2 from an activating event about a month ago. I received a picture of my youngest dressed up for a special school day as a cowboy. That’s all I ever did as a kid, play cowboys or play baseball. We didn’t have... Read more
Where Have All The Cowboys Gone? This article is basically taken straight from Twitter/X posts this week. It’s been fun to reminisce about another lifestyle I was very close to living for myself more than once. Every time she asks I want to raise my hand. I went through 2 legit (to quit) cowboy phases in childhood and in college. I came close to selling out to the lifestyle a couple times in my adult life. Sometimes it calls to... Read more
List of Sins | Word Studies in Corinthians Last night Rev. Roger Scantlin taught at Chrispoint in Galena, Kansas. It was his 2nd Wednesday night in his series on the power of the tongue. He used quite a few statistics and Scripture, really had an excellent presentation. I’m honing in on a couple of Scripture Passages from the Corinthians because I’m personally reading these Epistles devotionally right now. I like to focus on nuances of translation with lists like this.... Read more
Happy Reformation Day | Understanding Sola Sola Gratia | by grace alone Sola Fide | through faith alone Sola Christus | in Christ alone Sola Scriptura | according to Scripture alone Sola Deo Gloria | for the glory of God alone understanding Sola How do we understand the Solas? We have a basic English equivalent: “Alone” or “Only.” If Sola means “Only,” it seems logical to say Sola Scriptura means Only Scripture . . . and nothing else. what about outside sources? I’m...

Pulpit Masters and Heterodoxy “Anytime someone can stand in the pulpit and tell you what you can and cannot wear, and what you can and cannot do or you’re going to hell…” I walked into a group of 4 before service Wednesday night. Little did I know we would be discussing doctrine for the next 10 minutes. The First Person said that another had come out of the Apostolic Church. Immediately I asked, “What type of Apostolic? There are all... Read more
Rhema | Words of Encouragement Pre-service Sunday night is the time for one thing, coffee and conversation. It never disappoints. So when they were sent off, they came to Antioch; and when they had gathered the multitude together, they delivered the letter. When they had read it, they rejoiced over its encouragement. Acts 15.30-31 encouragement I have written extensively on here; posted a number of series; written pieces in line with the Content Team suggestions; interviewed people; had guest posts, etc....

Rhema | It’s OK We’ll Make It Granted, this post is from a Spirit-filled perspective. Have you ever heard the preacher preach, and you can’t really remember much of what was said, yet you had to respond to the altar call anyway? Have you ever shared “a Word” (Rhema) with someone else, and you can’t remember much of what you said, but it was exactly what they needed to hear? Over the years I’ve come to realize these occurrences happen... Read more
Political Banter | Jim Jordan No-Vote I take tonight’s post from some of my political banter with others on X today. Find me there @JaredIngle2022 Well, today was disappointing. 212 votes for Jeffries 200 votes for Jordan 20 votes for other people 217 votes needed to carry the election no Speaker of the House yet Everyone take a recess like you actually accomplished something and reconvene to vote later. I’m obviously writing from the Republican camp. Banter If not Jim... Read more
I took time to discuss Jim Jordan and Donald Trump with my politically astute sister, Carmen Ingle. They both are in consideration for the Speaker of the House of Representatives. Jared: Did you hear Trump may become the next Speaker of the House? Carmen: Yeah Matt Geatz nominated him but I think Jim Jordan might get it. Which is also a really good pick. Jared: Dad likes Jim Jordan. I don’t follow politics like I used to. I just think... Read more
