January 25, 2014. Last night I had a dream where I was at my house with some friends from the CSC (you know how settings get all mixed up in dreams), and we were hanging out in my driveway. The neighbors had a group of people over and they got into a circle and started…

Searching for truth.
January 24, 2014. There are two things you never talk about with someone who may have a differing viewpoint than you if you want to get along: religion and politics; when you break it down, really it is just religion, as political stances are usually rooted in some form of religion, whether or not you…
The fields are white for harvest.
January 22, 2014. “Are you sowing the seed of the kingdom, brother, In the morning bright and fair? Are you sowing the seed of the kingdom, brother, In the heat of the noonday’s glare?” Last night, Craig gave a good lesson– a hard lesson– at devo encouraging us to spread the gospel, as this is…
“You shall be holy, for I am holy.”
January 21, 2014. “Therefore, preparing your minds for action, and being sober-minded, set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. As obedient children, do not be conformed to the passions of your former ignorance, but as he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, since it is written, “You…
Peace.
January 20, 2014. Sorry I’m late posting today, we were on the road for eight hours coming back from Florida. Overall, I have a wonderful time at the beach. There were many theological discussions outside of the sessions and I feel like we grew a lot. I just hope that we take something away from…
Men of sincerity.
January 18, 2014. “For we are not, like so many, peddlers of God’s word, but as men of sincerity, as commissioned by God, in the sight of God we speak in Christ.” (II Cor. 2:17) Stop. Before you go on reading, read that statement again and dwell on it for three minutes. I will give…
Count your blessings.
January 16, 2014. “Do not be deceived, my beloved brothers. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change. Of his own will he brought us forth by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his…
Diligent study.
January 15, 2014. “Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth.” (II Tim. 2:15) Today is a call for further study. I do not believe that God intended for us to be fed our beliefs. It is my fear, however,…
A lesson from the past.
January 13, 2014. I’m reading through II Chronicles right now and I keep coming across phrases that simply make me mad/disappointed. Chronicles, as I realized this time through, is a Old Testament book of history that mainly deals with the kings of Judah up until Babylonian captivity. Now, compared to the kings of Israel, the…
Come, let us worship and bow down.
January 12, 2014. What is worship? This may seem to be a naive question for many Christians today, but I believe that we are not fully aware of the true definition of worship. Do you ever use phrases that you’ve heard so often and know where they fit in a sentence, but you really don’t…
Come, Thou Fount.
January 11, 2014. “O to grace how great a debtor daily I’m constrained to be! Let thy grace, Lord, like a fetter, bind my wandering heart to thee. Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it, prone to leave the God I love; here’s my heart, Lord, take and seal it, seal it for thy courts…
Good intentions versus the will of God.
January 10, 2014. Is it possible to have a good thought that goes against the will of God? Think about that question for a few minutes. Are good thoughts and/or good intentions every contrary to the will of God? This probably seems like a weird question, or maybe a question with an obvious answer, but…
