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 →

God’s Judgments are His Mercy

Sisters, brothers… Believers in the Lord Almighty and His Only Begotten Son Jesus whom He gave to save us from our sins; I say to myself and I say to you: whatever affliction is facing you right now has been allowed by the Lord. Although Satan has temporary authority on earth given him at the … 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 →

Application of the Golden Rule: Some Real-Life Communication

So, I’ve been realizing something about the Golden Rule lately; it requires a bit of forward thinking! In the years that I’ve been following Christ, I’ve transitioned from needing to be heavily discipled by others, to entering into more of a period of enjoying peer fellowship, to now having attained the degree of maturity in … 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

The Lord Answers Prayer. He REALLY Does.

I haven’t been feeling the best lately, folks.  I can’t explain it, but I’ve been feeling a high level of fatigue for weeks on end. I’ve tried different diets, more and less sleep, more and less exercise, etc. etc. and nothing seems to shake it.  It’s even begun to affect my attention during conversations and … 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 →
