The more I study how to defend the Christian faith, the more i'm confronted with the relationship between grace and truth. As a follower of Jesus, it makes sense that I'd come upon this relationship more and more as I continue to follow his example. John 1:14 says: "And the word became flesh and dwelt...

Today we complain to relate to one another. Think about it, what do you and your friends talk about most? Well, probably how this sucks and that blows and how things should be different. I'm guilty of it as well so don't hear me riding on my high horse, I'm with you. When there's a... Continue Reading →
This post is for those who have trouble taming their tongue. I have a big stupid mouth. I'm very opinionated, I'm quick to speak, quick to anger and slow to listen. It's a problem. John Calvin says "I consider looseness with words no less a defect than looseness of the bowels" and I'd have... Continue Reading →

I've prayed for dying family members and I've prayed for new... Continue Reading →
