This post is in reference to a friend’s blog post that talked about facing tough decisions and trying to discern God’s will for our lives. It also proposed our take on adventure.
“So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God. Do not cause anyone to [...]
So many times, we (at least this is true for me) end up consuming ourselves with the things of God instead of God himself–the One who created us in His image and gave us passions to pursue to bring glory to His name. The message at encounter last night was quite similar to what’s been [...]
So it’s been awhile since i last posted. i’ll try to briefly sum up the last month and a half the best that i can. First off and most importantly….What the Lord is doing: God is amazing. i can’t express in words how incredibly loved we are but i know for a fact the He [...]
Hey everyone. I don’t really know who reads my blog, but for those that do, one of my best friends—Meredith— and her family need prayer. Her mother is having health issues. They are still waiting to hear more information from the doctors, but pray that she gets the treatment that she needs and that the [...]
The other day, i was having lunch in chick-fil-a. It was around 3:00 and i had a little time before i needed to go into work, so i decided to eat there instead of the usual “grab-and-go.” i don’t know if it was the time of day or some other factor, but i was the [...]
Why is it that sometimes we find ourselves in the pit of temptation or suffering and we blatently choose sin?—or maybe another, and probably better question(s) is, why do we sometimes sin, and not know it?—-why does it take us witnessing the consequences of our sin, mainly seeing its effect on other people–usually those that [...]
So this post is the first of a series of posts (not necessarily one after the other) that are basically about my daily walk with God and how He shows up sometimes just to say “Hey, how’s it going?” In previous posts, i kind of touched on how creation and all good things are from [...]
i was watching Larry King Live very briefly the other night. A certain individual was on there; i won’t say their name, but anyway…Larry was asking this person about their views on faith, afterlife, etc… And then he asked this person the question, “Do you accept Darwin?” This individual replied, “Yes I do, but I [...]
So i’ve been thinking about this quote for some time now….it’s from Lee Stroble’s book, The Case for Faith. I don’t know if he said it or if someone else did but anyway, it says….”Only in a world where faith is difficult, can faith exist.” And how true this is! We wouldn’t need faith if we [...]
So, lately i’ve been thinking about what it means to honor our parents. i think alot of times, people translate the word honor as meaning “obey.” And i disagree with that. Yes, we are called to obey our parents, but Ephesians 6 says ”Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.” So there [...]
So, i’ve been in a funk lately…..i guess the best way to describe it is just being spiritually dry, or possibly complacent. i feel like it’s stemming mainly from my personal time, or lack thereof, with the Lord. There hasn’t been a lack of daily dialogue with Him, but it’s been hard for me to [...]
A couple of Thursday’s ago, one of my really good friend’s mother passed away from pancreatic cancer. She was a wonderful woman and had an amazing heart. She was a joy to be around and never had a hard time cracking a smile. i found out about the diagnosis this past summer and it hit me [...]
Jesus’s main concern is not that we stop sinning, but that we experience and live in His love and grace. He didn’t come to earth to make us stop sinning. He didn’t come to turn bad people into good people. He wanted to be with the people He loved forever. He was and is the [...]
Many times i’ve prayed, and heard other people pray something along the lines of, “God, give me the strength to …….. so that i can stand up to these enemies,” or “God, please get me through this situation so that i can……….and be a strong man/woman of God,” and other similar things. This is something [...]
