Lord’s Prayer, part three. Let’s get started. “Give us this day our daily bread,” – Matthew 6:11 Notice first here that Jesus asked for his daily bread. He doesn’t ask for his yearly, monthly, or even weekly bread. No, he asks for his daily bread. “Just give me enough to last today God. I trust you […]
For God so Loved
“For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only son that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.” – John 3:16 This has to be the most known verse in the entire Bible. We say it so often that I think we no longer pay attention, repeating […]
The Lord’s Prayer Part II
Alright, today is the second part in a five- part series on the Lord’s Prayer. Today we’ll be going over Matthew 6:10. “Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.” At first, this seems like a pretty straightforward concept, but I think that it appears so simple that we […]
The Lord’s Prayer Part I
This is the first in a 5- part series on the Lord’s prayer. Recently I went over the subjects of how to pray and why we pray, so I thought that I’d go into a little more depth on the meaning behind the Lord’s prayer. Today we’ll be looking at the beginning, Matthew 6:9 b […]
How Do We Pray?
Last week we discussed the reason why we pray, but we didn’t really discuss how we are to pray. So now, already knowing why we pray, let’s discuss how to pray. Seeing as the Bible is our ultimate authority on how to live our life, I thought it’d be best to start with a passage […]
Living as Salt and Light
God has shown me continually what it truly means to follow Him and be salt and light to the world. As I’ve spent time with Him, learned from His Word, and studied it with others, the Lord has shown me two important parts of following Him – seeking Him and His Truth, and then walking […]
Are You Ready Yet? ll Spoken Word ll
Hey guys! I’m proud to show you my very fist spoken word poem I put on Youtube. This is just the rough version, but I’ll have a more polished video out there eventually, along with several more poems to come. For a little background, this poem came out of my last trip to Haiti […]
The Reason for Prayer
Prayer is, I think, the most overlooked and undervalued practice of the Christian faith, yet it is arguably the most important. We have made it a tradition to pray before our meals and at bedtime, and, being satisfied with that as our total of daily prayer, seem to have forgotten that it is necessary to […]
A Story from the Mountaintop
Last week I shared just a little bit about my last trip to Haiti. I didn’t tell nearly all of it, though, so I’m going to be writing a few posts here and there with a few stories I think are worth their very own article. So, let’s get to it then. On our fist […]
The Haiti Update
Ahhh, I’m back. Last week I went on my second trip to Haiti, the first being last summer. This one was different than the last in many ways. This one was a medical mission. I was one of only four youth on the trip. I got to travel to a few new villages I hadn’t […]
