Prideful Destruction

November 15, 2011

Few things, if any, are more detrimental to any of us than our own human pride. It clouds one’s view of his own depravity and sin, it builds walls of separation, it encourages self-glorification and self-reliance, and it blinds us from the reality that we are all in need of something far greater than we [...]

Why Good Works?

November 6, 2011

The topic of works in the Christian life is one that is often misunderstood and, as a result, wrongly communicated. To fail to understand this critical doctrine is to ultimately risk the security of one’s soul and eternal destiny, and, at minimum, is to forfeit the daily blessings God has in store for those who [...]

You Just Gotta Wanna

October 19, 2011

My friend Kim recently shared the following on her Facebook page: “I just heard the flight attendant ask the soldier behind me if he would like to sit in first class. A fellow passenger wanted to give him his seat as a thank you for serving our country. WOW! Yet another example of small acts [...]

What is Your View of God?

October 18, 2011

What is your view of God? It may seem a rather simplistic question, but it is likely one you’ve never been asked or urged to think about. Your answer is important.

Embrace the Tension

September 27, 2011

I find there to be a consistent tension in my walk with Christ…a tension between what He’s done and what I’m supposed to be doing. And this tension, I’m learning, is a good thing. If you’re like me you’re not a big fan of change. Most of us aren’t. But following Christ necessitates movement and [...]

“Blogged Down”

September 20, 2011

If you’re a regular reader you’re aware that I haven’t posted in the last month or so here on the site. I’ve taken some time off… been a bit “blogged down” if you will. No specific reason other than I just felt the need to take a break. All of us get to that point [...]

The Hardest Part

August 16, 2011

The hardest part in anything is the start. The initial effort makes all the difference…the first move, step, or leap is what propels the whole deal, whatever the deal may be. You can spend hours, months, and even years planning and analyzing, but until you actually start you’ve got no chance to finish. Maybe you [...]
