Moving…

I am going to be moving blogging areas!  I am going to work with a group over at He Redeemed Us.  Pretty excited about the opportunity to continue writing with a larger resource pool!  So if you get a chance update your bookmarks and check out He Redeemed.us

Not just sitting by…

I have talked about this verse before, but it is one of my favorite:
But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: 1 Peter 2:9
We [...]

Beatitudes III

Justice/Righteousness vs Pursuit of Personal Need
Ever been really hungry? Ever really been famished and needed something to eat? If we take this passage back to when Jesus talked about it we would see a dry country where food couldn’t be purchased at the local Wal-Mart. We can understand how many would be [...]

Verse of the Week – Isaiah 43:2

When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.  Isaiah 43:2

I am so scared

When I find myself in life’s most uncertain moments, those times where you don’t know which door to go to, I turn to passage about the disciples in the midst of a storm.  I always think to myself why are they scared?  What would cause them to fear, they had Jesus on their side, he [...]

All to Jesus I surrender…

The popular hymn I Surrender All is on my favorite songs. It is a song that should be the foundation for our relationship with Christ.
All to Jesus, I surrender;
All to Him I freely give;
I will ever love and trust Him,
In His presence daily live.
I surrender all, I surrender all,
All to Thee, my blessèd [...]

I wonder why – a True Life episode…

Somebody pointed me to a show on a channel I would usually prefer not to watch that had an interesting concept.  It was following 3 people in their late teens and early twenties who were making the decision to be celibate (I believe they all were making secondary commitments after failed relationships).  Sounds noble, but [...]

Abide in me and I in you

I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. [...]
