Pay attention to what you say.
April 17, 2014. How much of what we say really matters? Does it really matter what we say? What we talk about? What references we make? This is a hard subject for a lot of Christians. It is becoming the norm to be less and less “strict” when it comes to the language we use…
A man’s word.
April 16, 2014. Today’s post will be a bit shorter but with a message that should not be taken lightly. Have you ever heard some one say “Back in my day, a man’s word actually meant something.”? Now I know that we don’t typically like to hear how our generation is just awful and how…
Wayfaring stranger.
April 15, 2014. I am a poor, wayfaring stranger, We belong to the King enthroned above. We are but strangers in this land of toil. We place our citizenship in the land beyond. We have no part in this land’s soil. While traveling through this world of woe. This is a land of sickness, toil…
Pressing on.
April 14, 2014. I am really starting to feel the pressure of the end of the semester today. I have many things to do before tomorrow and the rest of the week. It is times like these that I have to buckle down and get to business. It’s hard, but I know it must be…
A fire in our bones.
April 13, 2014. O Lord, you have deceived me, and I was deceived; you are stronger than I, and you have prevailed. I have become a laughingstock all the day; everyone mocks me. For whenever I speak, I cry out, I shout, “Violence and destruction!” For the word of the Lord…
Trust and the heart.

Confession.
April 11, 2014. “Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another so that you may be healed. The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much.” (James 5:16) The book of James has so much to offer. I have been going through it as a bible study with a couple…
Milk to meat.
April 10, 2014. This weekend we are going on spring retreat and out theme is “Christian Carnivores.” We are going to be talking about getting off the milk and transferring over to the meat of Christianity.

When you feel you are the only one left.
April 9, 2014. Do you ever have those days where it just seems like everything is against you? Like everyone is either apathetic or antagonistic? Like you are the only one maybe? I think we all have those days sometimes. Even the prophets of old. Today I want to discuss one of my favorite stories…
Words of a young prophet.
April 8, 2014. “Run to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, look and take note! Search her squares to see if you can find a man, one who does justice and seeks truth, that I may pardon her. Though they say, “As the Lord lives,” yet they swear falsely. O Lord, do not your eyes look for…
Praise for blessings.
April 7, 2014. Let’s all stop for a minute and take some time to praise God for the blessings we have. I know I tend to harp on American society some as I travel through biblical concepts and their misalignment with American morales, but it is true that we live in a great country where…
