Knowing God

This morning was the first time in a while that I have felt really compelled to read the Word. Honestly that is not something I have been spending a lot of time doing as of late. I hate doing things just because I feel …
Is it the glory of God, or the music that moves you?

Sunday we visited a church that I knew had been around in the area a long time. With that, as in most cases such as that, there is often resistance from the older crowd as to going more 'contemporary'. At the risk of so…

Politics and Money

I am not a political person, and I do not consider myself part of any political party, and I do not want you to tell me I should be, or that I should care more about my country. I do have opinions on issues, and I do c…
Hasty Words

There are a couple of phrases that leave a bad taste in my mouth: "Let's hang out sometime"...or, "I'll call you"...or even, "I'll be praying for you"...why? Because most of the time (though there is no way I could know …
