Scripture and Michael Scott
September 07 2011, 12:58 pm | Blake Hudspeth
Michael Scott isn’t the first person I go to find good theology…but he isn’t the last. The Office is one of my all-time favorite shows, and there was a conversation in season 2 that made me think about the way in which many of us look at Scripture. Earlier in the year, Michael (Steve Carrel) won over a client at dinner with his boss Jan. Without going into too much detail…Jan’s crazy…which is seen when she made out with Michael in the parking lot afterward. Later...
It’s God’s Will That You Read This, pt 3
August 15 2011, 1:52 pm | Blake Hudspeth
“It is a slander to the Word of GOD to say that we don’t know God’s will for our lives” –Dr. Albert Mohler, president of The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary This is Part 3 of a 3-part series on discovering GOD’s will for our lives. Part 1: Sovereign Decree Part 2: Holy Desire & Plan of Direction Do I go to college? Should I marry? Who should I marry? The last post ended with many questions like these, and, as Christians, we tend to ask them with the intention of finding “God&rsquo...
It’s God’s Will That You Read This, pt 2
July 27 2011, 12:44 pm | Blake Hudspeth
This is Part 2 of a 3-part series on discovering GOD’s will for our lives. There are three components/characteristics to the will of GOD that we’re discussing. The first component, His Sovereign Decree, cannot be thwarted or broken. In this sense, it is impossible to be “outside the will of GOD” (read more about that here). The other two, we’ll talk about today- #2 His HOLY DESIRE God’s will in this manner, CAN be broken, but it’s also made known to us. It refers to what...
It’s God’s Will That You Read This, pt 1
July 25 2011, 3:33 pm | Blake Hudspeth
This will be Part 1 of a 3-part series on discovering GOD’s will for our lives. Okay, maybe that was a bit strong. Maybe it’s not exactly GOD’s will for you to read this. Yet, you’re reading it right now, so it has to be…right? Confused? I know I was. For most of my life, I’ve seen the will of GOD as something that I have to figure out on my own. Something a little mysterious. Something that, if I didn’t figure it...
Fertile Soil
April 05 2011, 12:09 pm | Blake Hudspeth
In the middle of Jesus' ministry on earth, a large group of people gathered to hear what He was going to say. Here's what He tells them (from Mark 4- paraphrased by me): "One day this farmer went out to do what farmers do...sow seeds. As the farmer sowed, some of the seeds landed along a path and birds ate them. Others fell on rocky soil, so the plant sprang up quickly due it's lack of soil depth, but because it didn't have time to grow a root system, the sun dried them...
The Orange Leaf God
December 17 2010, 9:14 am | Blake Hudspeth
If you haven’t had Orange Leaf Yogurt (off of Cantrell by Fresh Market), do your mouth a favor and try it. You walk in and the wall is lined with all sorts of incredible flavors of soft serve yogurt. Once you choose what kind you want, you get to go over to the “candy bar”, which is comparable to walking downstairs Christmas morning. There you will find Oreos, brownies, chocolate chips, sprinkles, caramel, gummy bears, caramel gummy bears, reindeer (I told you it was like Christmas) and anything else you would ever want...
About Blake Hudspeth
A groundhog on crack. That’s the best way to describe the way my mind works. I’m Blake Hudspeth: husband, father, student pastor, and (most importantly) beloved son of the living GOD.
These are my thoughts. I scurry under the ground, pop my head out, look around, then rush down another tunnel and come out again before you can say “razzle dazzle”. My hope is that it will become another way for me to glorify my Father (Philippians 1:20) and chunk stones into the face of giants (Manpurse Slingshot). So thanks for letting me share those thoughts with you…I applaud your astute, blog-supporting readertude.
