“If you look at cosmology, which is the study of the origin of the universe, whatever begins to exist, has a cause. Scientists now believe, the universe must’ve had a cause. The implication of that cause must be very powerful, very intelligent, immaterial, and beyond time.” Sitting here, I am thinking of all the things […]
“Jesus came to comfort the afflicted, but He also came to afflict the comfortable” These are interesting times for me, as I continue my search for self-identity and a plan of action for the next few months. I suppose even Superman had his kryptonite. Today was a rough day for me as I realized just […]
“To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; […]
No quote. Well, as I prepare to embark on a weeklong expedition to the International House of Prayer, I have been doing a significant amount of thinking and questioning about the next stages in life. I originally wrote “my life” but it really isn’t my life. It’s His. What to expect? Well, I am not […]
Many people point to the mythical Phoenix as a source of inspiration; rising from its very own ashes. I sort of wonder what went on in its mind as it decided it would be worth rising again. We really aren’t much different than the Phoenix. We often have situations that cause us to crash and […]

“Courage is not simply one of the virtues, but the form of every virtue at the testing point.” C.S. Lewis One of the largest blessings in my life remains the abundance of opportunities that continue to present themselves to me at all times in rapid-fire succession. In a short period of time, more options arise […]
“There is a strong drift toward the hard theological left. some emergent types want to recast Jesus as a limp-wrist hippie in a dress with a lot of product in His hair, who drank decaf and made pithy zen statements about life while shopping for the perfect pair of shoes. In Revelations, Jesus is a […]
“God may allow His servant to succeed when He has disciplined him to a point where he does not need to succeed to be happy. The man who is elated by success and is cast down by failure is still a carnal man. At best his fruit will have a worm in it.” A.W. Tozer […]
In recent times, I have realized just how little there is to know about the eternal, omnipotent, omniscient, and infinite nature of our G-d. There have been so many questions going through my mind as I am given brief stints of a look into His character. Most of the time, I am left with many […]
