Walking by Faith

Walking by faith IS walking by sight. The thing is, we don’t walk according to what we can perceive with our 5 senses. Though we may be in a dire situation financially, relationally, emotionally, we are charged to walk forward with the Lord. We don’t often see many people in today’s world operating without a … Continue reading →

Success and Failure

The devil’s really been trying to tempt me to think that I’m a failure. In the eyes of the world and its measures of success (along with many Christians’, I might add), I stink. I haven’t held any job post-college for more than 2 years. I have no pension into which I’m currently paying. I … Continue reading →

Honestly: A Struggle

I feel compelled to write.  It’s ten of three in the morning.  I’m not one to talk about these kinds of things to people (usually talk only to the Lord ’bout ’em), especially in a public forum like this, but I feel like I’m supposed to; here goes!  After months, and now I’m realizing years, … Continue reading →

God is Angry

God is angry. Yes, He’s STILL angry. And the object of that anger? It’s sin. So, if you or I are the ones that DO that sinning, then He’s angry at our sin, and since we’re the ones who chose to do it, HE’s ANGRY WITH US.  God is Holy.  He is perfect.  He is without … Continue reading →

On the Importance of Theology OR Hermeneutics, Exegesis, and Other Big Words that Really Help to Obey

Reading the word of God, the Holy Bible, is EXTREMELY important in the life of a Christian.  Regardless of what movement, denomination, or local church we find ourselves, all Christians can agree on this one point.  Since the Bible is so important in the life of a believer, let me put forth a question to … Continue reading →

Purposeful Beauty

Beauty with a Purpose So, I was walking down the street today, (like many days lately, since I am currently without a vehicle) and the beauty of the white blossoms in the otherwise sterile metropolitan environment.  Then, a blurb from an old Creed song popped into my head.  Go ahead and take a moment to … Continue reading →

Church Discipline: A Blessing of the Lord – So, Where’s it At?

Father, please allow this post to be filled with your wisdom.  Anything that doesn’t reflect Your heart or Your wisdom, please may it fall dead to the ground.  In Your precious Son’s name: amen. Today is a collection of some of the things I’ve been reading / thinking about.  May it bless you in some … Continue reading →

Thoughts on the ‘Modern Church’: Priests and Perfection

This started as an e-mail to a friend this morning, and grew to immense proportions – The Spirit of the Lord has a way of doing that to me! Papa Yahweh, may this post be filled with Your wisdom only, and may any of my momentary conclusions only serve to bring us closer to Your … Continue reading →

Jesus was Poor and He Expects Us to Be Too! (you’ll see :) )

Hey Y’all – felt led by the Spirit today to write about Philippians chapter 2, where it comments on some of Jesus’ acts of obedience and how he came unto us as a poor man. Father, Yahweh, God over all, please give me Your wisdom and Your words to write about Your only begotten Son, … Continue reading →

Humility and the Body of Christ

I want to be a part of a local meeting of the followers of Christ where we can simply worship the Lord for who He is and allow His gifts to manifest themselves as they would manifest themselves.  I strongly doubt that I am alone in this desire.  I want to meet with other Christ-followers … Continue reading →
