FALLEN ASLEEP

Those who have fallen asleep are those who have died. Jesus calls them this because He knows physical death isn't the end. There are two types of death. Clinical and spiritual. If you’re born once you’re going to die twice, if you’re born twice, you are going to die once.

HALF HOUR

We sit. We chat. We make time for the people we love. Coffee dates, Luncheons, Dinner...eons. Maybe an hour, maybe two, maybe even a half hour. God desires the single most precious thing we have; our time. Time is indefinite to Him, but it's everything to us. Make some.

HAS TO BE TIRING

"To us who He has set free, we are not bound." We are idiots if we go back in to sin. What he has set us free from, we should not go back to. Enjoy life in Him. Instead of tirelessly trying to make yourself, let God make you.

POLITICS: PART 2

I didn't mean to antagonize. With all love, I often feel I'm called to be bold and stand up for His righteous truths in this time where there are few doing so. I've known for a long time that I may be detested and mocked; Luke 6:22-23, Romans 3:21-28.

BABIES

I saw the picture of this baby and thought, "I'll post it and someone may find it as hilarious and Chewbacca-y as I do." Yes I want a child, yes I'm not ready, I heard I have to get married or something first...? Someday far off, only with her.

POLITICS

This is as political as I'll get at this point in my life. I see a nation that's complacent, backward, embracing dark, and despising light, entreating sin as "not that bad," over-justifying, under-learned, forgetting God, and taking advantage of His liberties, abandoning natural affection, AND in need of truth.

CREATED TO PRAY

Do I need to take the time? Why can't He just read my thoughts? What is it about talking to Him about every little thing? Does it change anything? I've concluded; we're created for divine fellowship. God hears His children and moves on our behalf, because He loves us.

MATTHEW 19:3-12

Testing Him with the law in their pockets; "Is divorce lawful?" Jesus antedated the law, going back to the beginning. "He made them male and female... Becoming one flesh, what God has joined together let no man separate." Look at God's intentions for us and find answers to opposition.

DEAR EVAN,

I have to confess I am slightly enamored. Your music is alluring and inspired. There’s something magnetic about a man who’s heart is for our God. Yours is clearly seen by the hearing of your music. I draw closer to Him because of your dedication. Praise Him. Love, Steven

NO WORDS

There are some things in life that are too powerful for words. They stretch beyond the largest intellect, surpassing all knowledge. Inexplicable and indescribable. They inflict us, they move us, they enrapture our hearts and fog our minds. For every thing where there are no words, there is God.

JOHN 8:12-59

They did not understand. Religious hypocrisy. They thought they were so right, when they were so wrong. Blind and proud, from below; The Pharisees. We are an educated few that spent our life studying these things with degrees to prove it, who are you poor callous-handed carpenter from Nazareth?

ASTRONOMICAL

"Therefore I am glad on your behalf; but I want you to be wise in what is good, and simple concerning evil." "For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life."

HOLINESS

Innocent animals that posed no threat, not violent carnivorous mammals, spilled blood so God could exemplify the magnitude and weight of our sin. In perfect purity, the slightest form of sin is appalling. Because we have never known life without sin, we have no concept of what holy is.
