Sometimes life’s greatest comforts come only from being in life’s most uncomfortable positions. Like being snuggled up in bed on a really cold day. There is no sensation like it. Our focus on the cold (Cold being an absence of heat), makes us appreciate the heat all the more. Spiritually, this is true as well. …
My Redeemer lives. We often hear this in songs of praise and adoration of God. But Biblically, is there such a beautiful proclamation? To no surprise, this is a Biblical proclamation; however, it may not be where you would expect. Job 19:25 reads, “For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand …
Once a child, yet evolved into a man. Looking over the cliffs, I see the sky. In my soul, delighting that You are nigh. That Your eye can see across such great span. Across the fields and above blue seas. Composing essence by power of Word. By nature, paper, and by paper heard Thy refined, …

Father, I am going off script. I know that You are not the author of confusion, but God, I am confused and I don’t know where that leaves me. Nowhere can I run to escape you, nor would I ever, yet as life rolls on like waves in high tide, I am lost. The Devil …
Christians who seek power, an experience, or a purpose often desire supernatural gifts of the Holy Spirit. Yet, the knowledge of God’s grace is the greatest gift God gives us today. Now, I know what some are already saying. “What about 1 Corinthians 12:1?” In the membership for the Corinthian church, unfortunately, the members were …
Wealth. There is a hefty emphasis placed upon the topic of wealth, regardless of cultural background. From the beginning of time, man has begun a vain pursuit of accumulating “stuff”. It is an endless pursuit; which although has its place in everyday life, can sap the very essence of humanity out of people. The Irish …
Recently I was reading from the classic devotional, “My Utmost for His Highest”, and I read an installment titled, This Experience Must Come.
