A few weeks ago I began memorizing 2 Corinthians chapter 4. I’m not the best at memorization, so it’s a challenge. Here’s the deal, I had no idea why I was doing it. I just felt led to. The chapter talks about how we are fragile jars of clay, holding God’s light inside of us. [...]

Prayer
I repent of my lazines in prayer. “Some of us let the hurry of our lives crowd prayer out, and what a waste of time and energy and emotion there is in this constant worry! One night of prayer will save us from many nights of insomnia. Time spent in prayer is not wasted, but [...]

I’m Not Wise Yet
But I want to be. Proverbs 17:27 (NLT) A truly wise person uses few words; a person with understanding is even-tempered. Don’t forget to shut it.

I’m Not
You are never as great as you think you are, so don’t become prideful. And you are never as bad as you think you are, so don’t become crippled by insecurity. Simply give your best and be thankful that God has given you the opportunity to be a part of His great plan. Thanks Kent.

our God reigns
I’ve really been disappointed with my prayer times lately. Every now and then I’ll have times where I just can’t seem to get through, and if I’m honest (like you’d expect that from me), I’ll begin to feel like I’m wasting time. This morning I was just meditating on the simple fact that our God reigns. He’s [...]

When I was a little school boy (oh so cute), I used to think “I can’t wait for the day when I don’t have to learn anymore.” I really didn’t like school. Sometimes it was fun, but mostly, it was boring. I was never encouraged to draw outside the lines. My handwriting was never acceptable. [...]

Child Hating Disney Employees
There are many people who call themselves a Christ Follower, but if you look at their conduct, it seems they’re more an enemy of Christ, not a follower. With the pressures, trends, and social climate around us, it’s very easy to become a self indulgent Christian. Self Indulgent Christian. Is there such one? It’s like [...]
