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 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…
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…
Do not fear.
March 6, 2014. “But now thus says the Lord, he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel: “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine.” (Isaiah 43:1) There is a song called “Do not fear” based largely on this text in Isaiah 43. It…
Entering into God’s presence.
March 4, 2014. “I was glad when they said to me, “Let us go to the house of the Lord!” Our feet have been standingwithin your gates, O Jerusalem!” (Psalm 122:1-2) There was a time in my life, albeit I didn’t realize this at the time, when going to church was an obligation. For me…
A perspective on truth.
February 19, 2014. Today’s post might lean more towards logic and philosophy than you have been accustomed to when it comes to the subject of religion. Don’t be frightened, I’m not going to get too metaphysical or anything. However, I do believe that there is a certain amount of logic and reasoning that can be…
The love of God.
February 14, 2014. For this Valentine’s day post, I am totally going to steal my friend’s idea. Instead of focusing on the love that is shared between two mutually exclusive couples (not saying that I have anything against that), I’m going to talk about the love of Christ for us. There is a hymn that…
God be not frightened.
February 9, 2014. “For who is God, but the Lord? And who is a rock, except our God?” (Psalm 18:31) Over the past few days I have been reading a book that has been challenging my worldview. The book is call The Language of God, written by Dr. Francis S. Collins, head of the human…
Through us, O Lord, mankind save.
January 30, 2014. “‘Man who is born of a woman is few of days and full of trouble. He comes out like a flower and withers; he flees like a shadow and continues not. And do you open your eyes on such a one and bring me into judgment with you? Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? There is not…
Three promises of Jesus.
January 27, 2014. “‘Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened. Or which one of you, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone? Or…
What is truth?
January 26, 2014. There are many paths that man may take– all that will either bring good or harm. Yet each in his own path will find no alarm. There are many thinkers amongst the sons of men– ideas are woven and thoughts are formed. Yet to each clings his own, with others scorned. “What…
