Many Questions; One Answer
My heart has been very heavy the past couple days, and really the past couple weeks too. A lot has been happening. I spend a decent amount of time catching up on news, because I enjoy knowing what is going on in the world beyond me. I doubt I need to tell many of you,…

I’m Feeling Tempted
Today is a struggle. On my drive home today I felt a strong urge to look at pornography. I know, as a Christian I just said the “P” word and admitted it’s a struggle. I’m a man, it’s a struggle to take captive those sexuality thoughts sometimes. I can proudly say that I did not…

For He rescued us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. – Colossians 1:13-14 There has never been, is not now, nor ever will be a greater truth than through belief in Yeshua Messiah and confession of our…

I Gave Counseling a Try
Through overconfidence comes nothing but strife, But wisdom is with those who receive counsel. – Proverbs 13:10 Back in 2010, my eldest son was about a year old. About the same time, my wife discovered that I was texting inappropriately and a lot with another woman. We were married for about three years at that…

Bad Looks So Good Sometimes Pt. 2
From Genesis 14 when Lot decides to settle around and in Sodom through Genesis 19, we observe the sins, wickedness, and ultimate destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. The city was so depraved that Abram (Abraham) couldn’t find even ten righteous men in order for God to spare the cities from His wrath. How bad was…

Bad Looks So Good Sometimes Pt. 1
“And Lot lifted his eyes and saw all the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered everywhere (before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah) like the garden of the Lord, like the land of Egypt as you go toward Zoar. Then Lot chose for himself all the plain of Jordan, and Lot journeyed East.…

Free by the Truth
“…If you continue in My word, then you are truly My disciples; and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” John 8:31-32 I don’t know how many men there are out there like myself, but I think the number is far larger than most care to admit. What I mean…

Man & Woman; God’s Perfect Will
“For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world-rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.” Ephesians 6:12 I very much believe in the spirit realm, and that there are powers that rage back and forth in the same…

Persevere, Always!
Why is perseverance easier in many aspects of our life, but so difficult in a battle with sin? As a young kid, I spent most of my afternoons and weekends in sports practices. I’m strongly convinced the first thing I ever loved was the game of baseball. I couldn’t get enough of it. I wanted…

Guard that Heart!
Living in a fallen world is not easy. It’s certainly not easy for Christians, as we are called to be set apart from the world, but at the same time we are called to witness to the world. I heard a sermon this past week from my local pastor at Thunder Mountain Church, in which…

There is Freedom
“Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.” – 2 Corinthians 3:17 This is going to be a very quick post, but this verse is important to me. Since I’ve been transformed by and through God, and walking closer with Him… that is where I have…

Flee From Youthful Lust
I want to use this post to speak very openly and honestly about the dangers of pornography, how it leads to destruction, and separates us from God. There has been so many times in my youth and adult life when I thought, “It’s just a quick video, and it’s better than cheating in real life.”…

God our Refuge & Fortress
He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him will I trust.” – Psalm 91:1-2 Where does our heart go in times of weary, trouble or fear? In…

A New Beginning
There’s a lot to be said about what it means to start fresh. We’ve all experienced times in our life when we move somewhere new, start a new job, or even when we were the new kid in school. The excitement of new chances and opportunities give us hope in the temporal future. As Christians,…
