May 12, 2014. “The hand of the Lord was upon me, and he brought me out in the Spirit of the Lord and set me down in the middle of the valley; it was full of bones. And he led me around among them, and behold, there were very many on the surface of the…

Are we Christians?
May 11, 2014. Today we ask a hard question. It’s a question that I don’t like to ask, but one that I believe is necessary. Before we continue on, just know that today’s post is not for the casual reader who does not like conflict or questions that challenge his or her faith. If this…
Practical Christianity.
May 10, 2014. Today I want to talk about practical ways to live the Christian walk. Over the past few months we have discussed more theology than practicality, and sometimes I believe we can get too caught up into the words of Christ and forget about the application. There have been many times in my…
No condemnation in Christ Jesus.
May 9, 2014. I have been thinking lately about what it will be like in the resurrection, when all creation is made new and we will dwell with our Lord as we did in the beginning. I imagine a land full of all the good we have today minus all the bad. If we were…
Our God with us.
May 8, 2014. As I am transitioning into a new chapter of my life, I can’t help to feel a longing to stay with the people that I have built very strong relationships with and love with all my heart. Though it is an exciting time in that I am moving to a new place…
Biblical prophecy.
May 7, 2014. “And we have the prophetic word more fully confirmed, to which you will do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts, knowing this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture comes from someone’s…
Personal faith.
May 6, 2014. In today’s post, I want to discuss our personal relationship with the Almighty. Before I get into that, however, I want to emphasize that I am not advocating for the individualistic, personal God that American Christianity preaches. I don’t think that God is in any way individualistic. I think he is focused…
Redeeming the time.
May 5, 2014. “Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go into such and such a town and spend a year there and trade and make a profit”— yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time…
A light in darkness.
May 4, 2014. I have recently read through the books of Jeremiah and Lamentations, and I have to say that there is some pretty heart wrenching things in these them. Maybe they aren’t as bad for us when we read them since we are so far removed from the time and culture, but I think…
Lord, lead me.
May 3, 2014. Oh Lord, lead me when I want to fall, Be my rock, my stay, my all. Lead me when my faith is week, Lead me home through times bleak. Oh Lord, lead me when I go astray, Seeking after mine own way, Lead me through woods so dark, Lead me home when…
A new way.
May 2, 2014. If you have chosen the path of Christianity, you have faith that Jesus Christ is the son of God and have been baptized into him, do you ever feel like you are being pulled back into your former life? Do you ever fall back into the sins that you committed before you…
“Choose ye this day.”
May 1, 2014. My sister asked me recently what my favorite verse was, and I chose two because I couldn’t choose. However, since I have written multiple times about Ecclesiastes and the fact that we just got done with a discussion on Ephesians with different roles that we play, I decided to write about this…
