Have you ever felt defeated? Have you ever experienced something so tragic that you felt like you could never recover? I think every one of us has felt these things before. You look around you at all that is happening, and you ask, “God, how could you let such bad things happen to such a […]
The Spark
Have you ever thought of what sets us as Christians apart from everyone else in this world? Is there something others see in us that, when they see us, they can’t help but notice there’s something different about us. I sincerely hope there is. “For this world is not our permanent home; we are looking […]
Tremble
God is terrifying. His power is so infinitely vast that we cannot stand in his presence and survive. I don’t know about you but to me someone that powerful terrifies me. Isaiah 2:19 says,” Men will go into caves of the rocks and into holes of the ground before the terror of the LORD and […]
No More Worrying
We are servants of God, doing everything in our power and His to serve His will. As long as we try our best and trust in God, He will be pleased with us and will use us. This is what I believed, but there is a flaw in this mentality. What happens when we fail […]

” The only thing we have to fear is fear itself”. A famous and noble quote from President Franklin Roosevelt, this has been repeated times beyond measure in an effort to reduce fear. As Christians though, this quote makes no sense. The only thing we need to fear is God Himself, though unbelievers have more […]
Things we can’t Understand
There are a lot of things we can’t understand. I mean, things very few people have ever fully understood. So here’s a few I’ve come up with: Infinity I will start out the concept of infinity because many of the others are not understandable due to this concept. As humans, we live in […]
Screwtape Letters
Screwtape Letters is a book by C.S. Lewis from the perspective of a highly placed demon to a novice tempter on how to properly tempt his “patient”. It is an absolutely phenomenal book and is among my favorites. In this post, I would like to highlight some of the principles that this book talks about. This […]
The Plan
Most people today like to plan. They plan out their lives and what they will do to achieve a certain result. The problem is that they are usually not following God’s calendar. They hold on to their plans and create a certain path they “need” to follow. They aren’t pleased when God taps them on the […]
