I recognize that in the past two years I have changed significantly. My outward responses have become more hesitant and thoughtful. Perhaps I am getting older and know that as a hot-head, I need to think things through before I voice them. I have become less cynical outwardly; carefully evaluating most thoughts my mind wants [...]

the highest blessing
Father in Heaven,
I desire a heart for your work. I long, even now, to perform that which you have set aside for me to do during this all too short life.
Please guide my feet to the place you have chosen for me. I desire your blessing, Father – not that which I could take for [...]

eloquence lost
I have nothing eloquent to say today. I feel that I should be weeping upon my bed as David did for his sick child. While in this mind, the Lord drew me to this verse – so I will let my words be few:
The LORD reigns, he is robed in majesty; the LORD is robed [...]

there is none else
Isaiah 46:9
I have been afforded a morning of retreat. Well, all of us have – it is our morning for contemplation. This passage came to me while I was walking the Salmon Trail here on campus. It is a good place to return to – the beginning and end. In the next verse Isaiah hears [...]

christmas praise
Luke 2:8-13
I have never wondered why the angels sang for the shepherds on the night of Christ’s birth. They were singing because God Incarnate had arrived on earth. The events were set in motion, it was finally happening – the Immortal God was going to submit to physical limitation and death to provide redemption to [...]

monergism
I am not going to wade into the titular subject at the moment, but just pass along that I am reading some thought provoking articles on the Monergism web site today. This site seems to be affiliated with Desiring God Ministry’s John Piper, as he has submitted articles to the site. There are many articles [...]

Have you read the words of Micah lately? Most people are familiar with the passage(6:8), as an instruction on the way to live life, but have you read the preceding verses? Or just picked out the words as a nice homily to mouth when you are doubtful?
I think this piece of scripture was intended for [...]

the final word on anxiety
While I considered the passage yesterday from Matthew chapter six, I found the promise given in Isaiah 41:10. It makes a nice verse to memorize, and I would challenge you to do so!
Isaiah 41:10 KJV
Fear thou not; for I am with thee:
Be not dismayed; for I am thy God:
I will strengthen thee;
Yea, I will help [...]

Remember, when faced with deciding your future – anxiety is not what God had in mind. Christ told us that in Matthew chapter six. (Matthew 6:25-34 KJV)
Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put [...]

is there room
Have you ever been to the writing resource Helium.com? A great place for some opportunity to hone your writing skills and perhaps, make some money.
Regardless, I was over there today and on the Religion/Spirituality channel (section) and reading an article titled “Is there room in Christianity for other beliefs?”. It had a poll and a [...]
