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 […]
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 […]
Love
Love. Love is a very widely used word in our culture today. It is used to describe anything from good food to your spouse. But love, it seems, is not often used to describe what it truly is. 1 John 4:8 says,” The one who does not love does not know God, for God is love,” […]

God calls us to live totally for Him in every single aspect of our lives. If you wish to live, you must truly live, don’t simply […]
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 […]
Any Other Way
Love hurts. Some people say it’s not love that hurts but what we as humans mistake for love that hurts. That is also true, but love still does hurt. Jesus didn’t go to the cross to be beaten, mocked, and murdered because it was the right thing to do, He went because He loves us. […]
Over and Underneath
The band Tenth Avenue North has an album named Over and Underneath, which has a very interesting meaning. They used this to describe God; He is Over, He’s underneath, He’s inside, He’s in-between. I would like to go over the meanings of all four of these descriptions. Over God is over. He is […]
