ALL SORTS OF DEATH I think it’s safe to say we’re all affected by death; deaths of loved ones, the death of a season, of a pet, the death of a relationship—death comes for us all, but it’s what death means to us that changes how we experience its toll. A fair number of you… Read More Overflowing Faith from an Uncompromisable Seed
THE GOD OF ALL TRANSCENDENT ATTRIBUTES How do we recognize the fear of God in people? Why is it even important to take notice of this type of reverential fear of the Lord? When a person doesn’t fear God, there is a missing link in the chain of the way that person views God’s authority,… Read More Fearing God: A Truly Subservient, Humble & Loving Heart
GENERATIONAL & CULTURAL INFLUENCES What does it mean to be a good person? How does someone define what it means to have good morals? Unfortunately, many people believe morality itself is subjective; meaning, it depends more on the culture or generation and its respective beliefs (evolutionary progression of morals). But oppositely, other people believe morality… Read More Morality: Objective, Subjective, & the Chaos In-Between
THOSE WHO HAVEN’T HEARD OR ACCEPTED HIS CALL Wherever I go, I witness the majority of people do not display the love of God in their actions. In the majority of voices and words I hear from them, God’s love is not projected from their hearts. I sense God’s absence, His distance; not because He… Read More Rampant Spiritual Warfare: Don’t Be Deceived, Be the Church
Have you ever heard the phrases, “Another day another dollar” or, “Just another day”? What do these have in common? They both lack perspective and heart. Why is it so important to have these about our daily lives? I’m glad you asked. GOD-GIVEN PURPOSE Today is not anything like yesterday and won’t be like anything… Read More Not Just Another Day: The Christian Response to Monotony
HUMBLING STARTERS I’ve been married once, and divorced once. What a way to begin a Christian article, right? What did I learn? So much. I could probably write a book on what I learned. It’s not just what I learned from and about the relationship I was in, but how the relationship issues I experienced… Read More Marital Wisdom: Seek the Lord First
UNNECESSARY CONTORTIONS People treat happiness like an addiction sometimes. It’s as though the most important aspect of our everyday lives is to quickly return to happiness, lest it be lost in the wake of any number of irritable circumstances. We could even say people could come across as anxious or afraid of losing happiness. This… Read More The Endless Pursuit of Happiness & Finding Real Joy
EVOLUTIONARY DISMISSAL For the unspiritual, life isn’t two-hold, it’s one-fold. This life is the only one. For believers in spirituality, or specifically in Jesus, life and death have depth to them based on the understanding that we are more than our corporeal bodies existing as matter within other matter (the atmosphere). There is weight and… Read More Pointless Argument for a Meaningless Life
MISTAKING JESUS’S IDENTITY Jesus Christ means different things to different people, and what He means changes how we see and live our lives. For better or worse, Jesus’s name does not lack an impact on a person; the only difference is which impact is made. When Jesus is merely viewed as a moral, scrupulous wise… Read More The Impact of Christ’s Divinity in a Corrupt World
FALLACIES ABOUT CHRISTIANITY Christianity isn’t about what we must do to earn God’s love and pardon, but about living out of the joy of God’s love for us.
