Everlasting Love
Psalm 103:15-19 As for man, his days are like grass; As a flower of the field, so he flourishes. When the wind has passed over it, it is no more; And its place acknowledges it no longer. But the loving kindness of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear Him, And His righteousness to children’s children, To those who keep His covenant, And who remember His precepts to do...

Mighty To Save: i have been thinking about... →
i have been thinking about Revelation 3:16 lately and all of a sudden it makes sense. God would rather have us say i don’t believe, i am not a Christian before he wants us to be cold, a ‘fake Christian’ who sits around claiming to be a follower and a member of the God fan club.
God never called…
i am content w/ losing.: Christianity: The Crutch? →
A woman at the University of California in Northridge challenged me: “Jesus is just a psychological crutch to help you deal with ignorance and fear.Because you are weak and scared, you have constructed a father figure in the sky to give you security. I don’t need your crutch.” This attitude…

My story will be rewritten As You write my name on the scars of Your hands
My life will become through the grave that was conquered
I will be free by the work that You preformed by the scars that You bore
You gave Your life as a sacrifice so that I may gain what You have laid down

Lost the spark
In religions which have lost their creative spark, the gods eventually become no more than poetic motifs or ornaments for decorating human solitude and walls.
The quote above is cause for some soul searching! Has your faith become a stale religion? John 3:16 says that belief in Christ brings life everlasting! If this does not cause you to celebrate you should check your heart! We have been given...

I was talking to Jesus the other day; He said to me, “I love you.” I said to Him, “I love you more.” He rolled his eyes and started to rap, “Don’t be a boor. You don’t love me more— Here I am, knocking at...

““Seeing that a Pilot steers the ship in which we sail, who will never allow us...”
– This should be a reassuring quote to me as a follower of Christ however, it is not. I am not encouraged by this because the “pilot” mentioned here is not God, it is me. I attempt to control my life and find that I am overcome by fear and weariness! Today as you meditate in your quiet...

““O, what I owe to the file, to the hammer, to the furnace of my Lord...”
– We often look at life’s trials as bad things. However those trials may be a refining process in which you are being molded into a new creation. This process is often painful as we have to be broken of our old self and reworked into what God wants us to be.

A Father's Love
John 3:16-21
16”For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. 18Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God’s...
The following is taken from desiringgod.org, a resource site provided by John Piper. This question asks if all situations bring glory to God and I find the answer to be very interesting! Check it out and leave your thoughts below!
I know God does everything for his glory, but does everything that happens glorify God as much as possible?
That’s a very good question. And the answer is Yes...
Does God sustain creation?
I have often heard that God has a plan for my life and that He has a will for us to follow. Have you ever thought about God’s role in our day to day lives? I would like to try and tackle this subject in this post. Please feel free to share your thoughts on the matter below!
I have heard many different viewpoints on God’s involvement in creation but

Are you robbing God?
Malachi 3:6-12
6 “I the LORD do not change. So you, O descendants of Jacob, are not destroyed. 7 Ever since the time of your forefathers you have turned away from my decrees and have not kept them. Return to me, and I will return to you,” says the LORD Almighty.
“But you ask, ‘How are we to return?’

Is it well with your soul?
Consider this hymn:
When peace like a river, attendeth my way, When sorrows like sea billows roll; Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say, It is well, it is well, with my soul.
Refrain: It is well, with my soul, It is well, with my soul, It is well, it is well, with my soul.
Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come, Let this blest assurance control, That Christ has regarded...

Consider This...
We were bought with a price. We were born into sin and through God’s foreknowledge we were brought to new life! God brought us out of the mire that we could not escape and has given us true eternal freedom. I am always amazed when I look at my life and the lives of those who call themselves Christians and I see that we are still stuck in sin! We have been saved by the creator of the universe and...
A word on Jobs
Hey guys I came across a quote in a book today and thought that it would be a great word of encouragement! Alister Mcgrath in his book Knowing Christ says this about jobs: “It is important to be distrustful of human estimations of careers and situations. What matters from God’s perspective is not the status of our position, but the opportunities it brings for service and proclamation of the...
How are you living?
Hey guys I had a thought I wanted to share with you. I get emails from the Libertarian Party and something in todays email caught my attention. The guy writing the email added two words at the end that I think are important for us as believers. “Live Free” is what he put right before his name, and the thought hit me that this is how we as Christians are supposed to live. We are free in Christ and...
Our Hope is In Christ
The following is a question posed to Pastor John Piper and his subsequent response. I encourage you to not miss out on a blessing that God may have for you simply because you have lost hope! God is more powerful than any situation you find yourself in. If you see someone suffering in a state of hopelessness help them to see the light of Christ! We know that the Holy Spirit comforts us when hope is...
Who is God?
The Bible gives many different names and attributes to God. The many different descriptions are an attempt to designate God’s many different character traits. Systematic Theology by Wayne Grudem lists some of these traits. God is described as a lion (Isa. 31:4), an eagle (Deut. 32:11), a torch (Rev. 21:23), a shadow (Ps. 91:1), a shield (Ps. 84:11), and so on. My favorite designation of God is...
