September 22, 2014. Full disclosure: This was not written on September 22. I am going to backdate this post, because this was the day I was involved in a pretty serious car accident. If you want to know more about that, read this post. Since everything could have been so much worse, and I really…

A psalm of the weary.
August 8, 2014. Have you ever had one of those days where nothing seems to go right? Typically this day would come at a climax in life where you are trying to organize everything and get prepared for a major life change, you know, right when you need it to come (read with heavy sarcasm)….
Singing.
July 27, 2014. I have been to two different singings in the past three days and they were both really good. Over the years I have learned to appreciate why God loves singing so much. There is something almost mystic when it comes to music. It has been studied for many, many years and captivates…
To whom should we give respect?
July 16, 2014. There is a saying that goes around in our society that says “respect is not given, it’s earned,” or something along those lines. The premise is that you do not just automatically have respect with people, but you must gain respect through your actions and the way you handle situations. On some…
Behold, the Christ.
July 12, 2014. I listened to a great sermon last night entitled “Behold the Christ” by V. P. Black that I would recommend listening too. You can find it by clicking on the link above, if you are interested. It is an older sermon in a style that you may not be accustomed to, but…
Omnipotence.
May 23, 2014. Today was our day off and a group of us went to Leon to surf down a volcano (and by ‘surf,’ it was really just sledding down the side). The hike up the volcano was tiring, but it was totally worth it. To see the world from that perspective was amazing. It…
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…
Praise for blessings.
April 7, 2014. Let’s all stop for a minute and take some time to praise God for the blessings we have. I know I tend to harp on American society some as I travel through biblical concepts and their misalignment with American morales, but it is true that we live in a great country where…
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…
Two lessons from a wise man.
February 20, 2014. Today a friend of mine and I were studying Ecclesiastes, and we ran across a passage that I liked so much that I decided it was worthy of yet again jumping back into this book for today’s post (in all fairness, it really doesn’t take much for me to make that decision)….
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…
Praise the Lord!
January 8, 2014. “And when he had said these things, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem. When he drew near to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount that is called Olivet, he sent two of the disciples,saying, “Go into the village in front of you, where on entering you will find a colt tied, on which no one has ever yet…
