God Will Finish What He Started
He Will Complete It “I thank my God upon every remembrance of you, always in every prayer of mine making request for you all with joy, for your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete [...]
Pondering How Three Can Be One
Over the past few days I’ve been pondering the doctrine of the trinity and how three can be one. The Bible tells us that there is only one true God, so how then can our Father in Heaven be God, Jesus the Son be God, and the Holy Spirit be God, all at the same [...]
Going Crossless
Whoever does not take up their cross and follow me is not worthy of me. Matt. 10:38 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. Matt. 16:24 We can so easily process our faith to something respectable and somewhat [...]

DOA: How Faith Killed My Faith in Atheism

Depictions of an Empty Tomb
It’s approaching Easter Sunday, and so I’m foregoing the usual routine and directing my attention to photos/artwork depicting the empty tomb of Jesus Christ. Take a look, pause and even pray–if that is something you want to do. “That if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God [...]
Evil Inside Us
“More than anything else, a person’s mind is evil and cannot be healed. Who can understand it? Jeremiah 17:9, NCV “I’m really not as bad as you think I am. Actually, I am much worse.” The Bible in its tremendous insight, never ever makes humans to be wonderful creatures. I think we would all volunteer [...]
Pics: Lion of the Tribe of Judah
“Then one of the elders said to me, “Stop crying and look! The one who is called both the `Lion from the Tribe of Judah‘ and `King David’s Great Descendant’ has won the victory. He will open the book and its seven seals.”Rev. 5:5, CEV I definitely love lions, I suppose they are my favorite [...]
Straining at Your Oars
He saw the disciples straining at the oars, because the wind was against them. Mark 6:48 It is good for us to know that Jesus sees our labor and effort. He perceives all that concerns us, and he knows the issues that matter most. Attentive and keenly aware he comes. It is quite common for [...]
