1.5.22
Even from a brief reading of the latter part of Revelation I am becoming aware of several truths about myself and about the nature of God’s word and my love for Him through it. Having just watched a film (based on a true story) depicting the pagan practices of indigenous South American peoples and an…

11.23.20
When a theological truth or question interests me I am all ears. My Bible and heart are open and listening. Otherwise, I assume I understand that which does not interest me. I live as though I do not need to learn and listen with eagerness to things I have heard before. Things that sometimes seem…

When you are weary, oh my soul, drink of the living water, from the fountain of truth, God’s word is truth. As you struggle in the battle to guard your heart in pure devotion to Christ, and as you pant from fatigue and weakness, breathe deeply of the breath of Life, the breath of God’s…

Just thinking about the experts. Who are they and how do I know if I can trust them when they wield unelected, politically granted power over the people who did not elect them? How can I be confident in the ostensibly unquestionable public health experts’ rulings, especially when private health experts, who have real credentials,…
10.8.20
I cannot in good conscience encourage you to follow your heart, rather, follow Christ’s heart. Do not let it lead you to an arbitrary terminus, but let Christ lead it to Himself for there is immense freedom and confidence therein to pursue every pure pleasure and worthy endeavor. He sets us free to love purely…
Breakdown
(A poetic breakdown of a political breakdown of a pandemic’s breakdown of a free nation) • Sleeping deep in the matrix of the covid coma that plagues the population from pole to pole as political pied pipers spread lies and rumors that the group’s greater good will require your soul • In the depths of their matrix elusive danger clings and…
9.2.20
What will it take for you to believe that Jesus is the Son of God? What will it take for you to believe that your sin was so bad that it required God’s Son to be tortured and killed? What will it take for you to believe that his body was shredded to skin ribbons?…
9.10.20
A day in the life of a Christian that is not bookended by Christ centered thoughts is like a 24 hour library of experiences which, thus unsupported, readily topple like dominos, disrupting peace, distracting the mind, and drawing the heart away from the truth that His perfect love covers the multitude of our sins and…

8.13.20
As I sit in a meeting cube on a remote video call with 60 other people I am struck with the lurking loneliness of this virtual connection. It is much like watching an emotionally charged movie by myself. I am wrapped up in a screen, a slide and stimulating sounds of human voices. Then the…
7.28.20
I am not given to conspiracy theories. I do not generally react. This is partially convenient, partially intentional. I believe there is much Biblical and even purely practical wisdom in this approach to controversy. And I believe that the wisdom of this approach increases in direct proportion to the import or magnitude of the controversy.…
