“Running Scared in between, what I hate and what I need. Savior and enemy are both trying to take my soul. And I can’t hide no more.” -Josh Garrels in Born Again I’m asking God to search me like David asked, because there’s an enormous draw within me toward evil. It was once habitual to…
Nothing New
There’s nothing new under the sun, we all say we know that. But if we truly love wisdom we would find ourselves content. Instead, we dishonor God in our constant search for something more. There is nothing more foolish, more insane, than looking for pleasure in what is not pleasing. Have you ever imagined a…
Let it Out
There’s a time to be vague, and there’s a time to be painfully obvious. This time I’m going to be genuine and authentic. You’ll find me to often speaking in metaphor and masking my fears. Maybe I only talk about the times when I’m full of faith. I only write my posts when I really…
Do what You Will
You give me not what I want, yet my cup overflows; in that what I need has always been You. 1 Peter 4:2 teaches what the whole of Peter’s message is about, abandoning our desires (in the flesh); and in doing this we ought to begin living for God’s will. It is evident in the…
Re-thinking
“Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.” There’s something about following the grain that should bother Christians. When we find ourselves thinking like everyone else, our actions will follow. We want to follow the grain, it’s natural for humanity regardless of culture, there are assumed…
Dread
“That feeling I get, when I look to my God.” -My fun, yet truthful, little remix of the ungodly song Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin. There is a sense of the fear of God which we have long forgotten, when we are aware of what we are; and at the same time understand how…
Looking Here, Looking There
It is crazy to think about what God has brought me through, and to think I have my own family. I’ve been very reflective, looking back at my past and also ahead toward the future. Was I insane, I mean I was so impulsive! Okay, I am still quite impulsive, maybe spontaneous is a better…
Sailing in Time
In the roaring seas of time, there is a dark cloud ominously approaching the vessel which is our known world. Naturally, we wish that land was in sight so that we would find ourselves yet again, there the terrors of the unknown would not swallow us entirely. Nevertheless, with storm on the horizon, we freeze…
Considering
Can we be honest with ourselves for just a minute? Consider how we live, I mean really think about all the things that influence our daily decisions. What do we think about most? I am willing to bet that we think about ourselves more than we think about anything else. To be fair, this is…
Thoughts on “Falling in Love”
Falling in Love We often say the term to express our deep emotions and infatuation toward a person or sometimes even a thing. It’s of course a process of seeing beauty and responding to it, it’s natural and it’s actually good. I just believe the way we have chosen to talk about it is incorrect…
