The great commission.

March 24, 2014. I am happy to say that we have another brother in Christ! My friend Daniel Chen was baptized into Christ yesterday after he went with a group to see God is not Dead. It must have been some movie. The gospel is working here in Chattanooga, and I am excited to be…

Disfellowship.

March 23, 2014. Do you think it is our duty as Christians to go to a brother or sister who has gone astray and lead them back to the right? Today in our society, it is almost looked down upon to correct anyone, much less those who are in the church and bear the name…

Let us reason together.

March 22, 2014. “Come now, let us reason together, says the Lord: though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall become like wool.” (Isaiah 1:18) Two children are playing with a kickball outside, kicking it back and forth, laughing and having a marvelous time. The boy…

One soul for Thee.

March 21, 2014. I have extraordinary news! We have a new sister in Christ. Last night, a friend of mine called and asked if we could do a baptism as she has been studying with a girl she met on campus for the past few weeks. It was wonderful. We got a group together and…

Eternity in our hearts.

March 20, 2014. “What gain has the worker from his toil? I have seen the business that God has given to the children of man to be busy with. He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also, he has put eternity into man’s heart, yet so that he cannot find out what God has…

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…
