Don’t be misled—you cannot mock the justice of God. You will always harvest what you plant. Those who live only to satisfy their own sinful nature will harvest decay and death from that sinful nature. But those who live to please the Spirit will harvest everlasting life from the Spirit. Galatians 6:7-8 NLT I think these... Continue Reading →
Heart Check for Our Daily Lives
<Disclaimer> Just in case this is your first time reading one of my posts… I’m just an average guy who loves Jesus and relies totally and completely on God for my needs and to guide and order my steps. This blog is my feeble attempt to share some of the things that He lays on... Continue Reading →
Christ’s Love in Our Suffering
Christmas is always a time of reflection for me and that isn’t always a good thing because of the hardships, struggles, and suffering that I’ve endured. This year though with a lot of prayer, my feeble attempts to lift up a long distance friend during a time of family suffering, and yet more daggers from... Continue Reading →
What if He came back today?

In The Waiting…
"Oh, that You would hide me in the grave, That You would conceal me until Your wrath is past, That You would appoint me a set time, and remember me!" Job 14:13 I must admit that this post isn't going to be what I originally thought when it was placed on my heart. This sort... Continue Reading →
Trail of Tears…
"I am exhausted from crying for help; my throat is parched. My eyes are swollen with weeping, Waiting [hopefully] for my God to help me." Psalm 69:3 No, I'm not going to write about the Native American relocation, though I may be missing some great parallels. This is somewhat of a continuation from... Continue Reading →
