American Christianity is tiresome. American Christianity will tell you that if you don't vote for a certain person, watch certain news stations, read certain websites, etc, you couldn't possibly know Jesus. Depending on what "side" you may find yourself on, you were offended reading what I just wrote. The truth is, neither party worships Jesus. … Continue reading The Elephant, The Donkey, The Lion & The Lamb
10 Years of Sanctification
This April will be a special one. It will mark 10 years that I have been following Christ. I truly can't believe this anniversary has come so soon. That fateful day feels like just yesterday. Many of my anniversary posts are just a recounting of my testimony, and while those are great, this time, I'd … Continue reading 10 Years of Sanctification
Fulfill Your Ministry
One of my favorite Matt Chandler clips is the one where he talks about Mark Driscoll. Chances are, most people nowadays don't know who Mark Driscoll was. If you do, that's awesome. But if you don't, he used to be the pastor of Mars Hill Church. He was also the founder of the Acts 29 … Continue reading Fulfill Your Ministry
The Road Is Narrow
Yesterday, I was scrolling through my Facebook feed when I came across an article about Michael and Lisa Gungor. Honestly, I probably would have scrolled passed it had one word not been in the preview; Atheist. Surely, "atheist" and "Christian artist" typically don't go together, so I clicked the link and decided to see why … Continue reading The Road Is Narrow
Fear Is A Liar
"Fear, he is a liar. He will take your breath. Stop you in your steps. Fear, he is a liar. He will rob your rest. Steal your happiness. Cast your fear in the fire, 'Cause fear, he is a liar." Have you ever felt afraid? Maybe you were afraid for you life. Maybe you felt … Continue reading Fear Is A Liar
Run Devil Run
Lately, it's been hard to sit down and write (for many reasons). My last real post (that wasn't a book review) was in November 2017. I've been hit with wave after wave of discouragement, disappointment, and despair. I kept dwelling on things that happened yesterday, choosing to stay in those feelings instead of face the … Continue reading Run Devil Run
My Favorite Study Bible: The ESV MacArthur Study Bible
(The following post contains affliate links). When I was first saved, I didn't know many other brothers and sisters in the faith. Because of this, I ended up walking into the nearest Christian book store and buying whatever I could find (which led to me reading some "questionable" things, to say the least). Because of … Continue reading My Favorite Study Bible: The ESV MacArthur Study Bible
The “Golden Cows” We Still Worship
Right now in my "One Year Bible", I find myself in 1 Kings. Over and over again, it amazes me to see the people of Israel, knowing very well the God they serve, choose to serve Baal instead. I mean, truth be told, this has been happening since Deuteronomy, but it seems to hit a … Continue reading The “Golden Cows” We Still Worship
My Top Three Online Christian Resources
You may think it's odd that a blog writer would tell you "Hey, go see these other websites instead of mine", but I'm a Christian before I am a blog writer, so I think it would be wrong of me to withhold valuable resources from you that would help you grow in your faith. These … Continue reading My Top Three Online Christian Resources
Sight Through Stained Glass (Part One)
The other day, my daughter received an interesting toy at a fast food establishment. It was a set of cards with animal facts on the backs of them written in blue ink. However, the facts were hidden by a red pattern. In order to make it clear and legible, you had to put this red … Continue reading Sight Through Stained Glass (Part One)
