Discipline.

April 26, 2014. The Christian walk is hard. I don’t think we should sugar coat it. The truth of the matter is, the flesh makes constant war against the spirit. This war can be taxing and may even seem hopeless at times. I think we have all been at the place where it felt like…

Traditions.

April 25, 2014. Are traditions good? Are they bad? I have heard people be vehemently against traditions and others be dead set on them. Today I would like to take a closer look at traditions, their pros and cons, and let you decide what is biblically taught about them. I am a proponent that many…

Always watching.

April 24, 2014. “Let brotherly love continue. Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares. Remember those who are in prison, as though in prison with them, and those who are mistreated, since you also are in the body.” (Hebrews 13:1-3) For those of you who think I’m…

Devoting time.

April 23, 2014. What do you devote you time to? Mostly work, school, leisure? Recently I have notice that my time devoted to God has been waning, and this is a concern to me. I’m not talking about things I do at the student center and the activities we put on, but I mean actual…

One way to the Father.

April 21, 2014. “So Jesus again said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. All who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. I am the door. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved and will go…

Easter.

April 20, 2014. Today is the day that a majority of Christians focus on the death, burial and resurrection of Christ, as he died and rose the perfect sacrifice for our sins. It is always fitting to remember our Lord and what he did on the cross for us. I don’t think we will every…

Memorials.

April 19, 2014. “When all the nation had finished passing over the Jordan, the Lord said to Joshua, “Take twelve men from the people, from each tribe a man, and command them, saying, ‘Take twelve stones from here out of the midst of the Jordan, from the very place where the priests’ feet stood firmly,…

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…
