Faith was never meant to be a comfortable journey from here to eternity. If yesterday’s assassination of one who championed the name of Jesus reminds us of anything, it is that the enemy has declared war on God and His saints because he knows his time is short. Followers of Jesus are not wrestling against …
The Great Turnaround
Consider with me a world where judgment does not exist, wrong has no consequences, and no moral baseline governs the world. People have free will to exercise their own choices, but nothing modifies those choices. If no holy God created the Universe, then no morality or righteousness would be judged or rewarded. What would be …
The Word
Advent Day#25 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. John 1:14 Gaze with wonder at the Word made flesh, Consider the chaos that His birth did consist. The One who spoke Light …

An Unneeded Friend
Matthew 11:28Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. She slithered with grace Embracing my shoulders, And whispered sweet comforts Into my ears. Her words were so smooth Like honey melted, Helping me focus On thoughts of despair. “If only you, dear, Did not have to …
A Song of Belief
Born into dying, With chains none can see. In blackness of soul, No hope to break free. Like a people in tombs, With no knowledge of light. Living life in the darkness, Unaware of their plight. But One who could see, Left light for their dark. He put on their flesh, His life left a …
