The conclusion of all.

March 18, 2014. “Remember also your Creator in the days of your youth, before the evil days come and the years draw near of which you will say, “I have no pleasure in them”; before the sun and the light and the moon and the stars are darkened and the clouds return after the rain, in the day when the keepers…

Grace, Lord.

March 18, 2014. “But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us. We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus…

Led by the Spirit.

March 17, 2014. “So then, brothers, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. For if you live according to the flesh you will die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For all who are led by the Spirit…

Age of ingenuity.

March 16, 2014. I am flying out to Florida today for an interview at the University of Florida, at I am very excited. I love to fly. Isn’t it amazing what God has given man the ability to do? Just think about it. Thousand upon thousands pounds of metal, soaring through the air, miles above…

Accepting forgiveness, part 2: Confession.

March 15, 2014. “Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working.” (James 5:16) This used to be one of my least favorite verses in the bible, at least the first part of it anyway. It’s easy…

Accepting forgiveness.

March 14, 2014. I feel bad because I almost forgot about posting today. It seems that I have a harder time remembering when I am on break as opposed to a structured schedule with things to do. Regardless, it gives me an opportunity to talk a little about something I have been thinking about recently….

Singing and making melody in you heart.

March 13, 2014. I apologize that this post is later than usual, as I have been working on a lyric songbook for the student center all day. I thought I would make today’s post short and sweet, though it is one of my favorite subjects: singing. “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching…

The war inside.

March 12, 2014. “The Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intention of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And the Lord regretted that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him to his heart. So the Lord said, “I will blot out man whom I have created from the face of…

The way of man.

March 11, 2014. “Concerning the prophets: My heart is broken within me; all my bones shake; I am like a drunken man, like a man overcome by wine, because of the Lord and because of his holy words. For the land is full of adulterers; because of the curse the land mourns, and the pastures…

Couplets of wisdom.

March 10, 2014. The book of Proverbs is a favorite amongst many Christians all around the world. The wisdom of Solomon is preserved through the verses penned in this book of solace (though not all of the book is by Solomon, as is a common misconception). What is interesting to me about the book is…

Grace.

March 9, 2014. “Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character…

Why, O Lord?

March 8, 2014. O Lord, my God- above all else! Here me when I cry. Atone to my spirt, for it longs in days so dry. I know you are there, I know, but am blind to see! Teach me your paths May you be known to me! I praise you by night, though I…
