Who Do I Think I Am?

I think the thing that I've been learning most lately is how much I hate to give up control. I always feel a need to know what's going on and why, whether it be with relationships, career plans, education, living situations, or whatever it may be. Yet if I profess to believe in a God that has a plan, which I absolutely do, I shouldn't have to worry. God works all things together for good, according to the book of Romans. So who do I think I am, telling God that I have plans and that I want to be ...

Hear See - Uriah

I wanted to share this, because the words are just so powerful. And go download this guy's album, because it's fantastic. http://www.rapzilla.com/rz/music/freemp3s/5372-uriah-sound-of-light "Sometimes I think I hear You, but is it my conscience, or, are You my conscience? I never know, but what I hear, it sounds like You, but I never know. For so long You were just hear say, so I never knew, it would be different if i saw You, a face to go with Your still small voice that I seem to have created ...

Fine Linen

Revelation 19:8 says, "It was granted her to clothe herself with fine linen, bright and pure - for the fine linen is the righteous deeds of the saints." Two things about this verse intrigue me: 1) Our righteousness, everything we do on this earth for the glory of God, is our preparation for how we will present ourselves before Him on that day. As a bride eagerly prepares herself and clothes herself in beauty on the morning of her wedding, so should we eagerly seek after righteousness. Our righteous ...

There's only one way they'll come around, and it's love.

“Alexander, Caesar, Charlemagne, and myself founded empires; but what foundation did we rest the creations of our genius? Upon force. Jesus Christ founded an empire upon love; and at this hour millions of men would die for Him.” - Napoleon Bonapa ...

A Real Man

"What makes you a man is being defined by who you say you are in Christ. If you have Christ, you have all that you need. Everything that you need is bound up in the resurrected Savior! Manning up is not just managing your sexual temptation. It's not just managing your sin. That's not what it means to be a man; because you can try harder, and you can do better, and you can hang on longer. That's not manning up. Manning up is our ability to lay down all of our effort and all of our trying and ...

Why do you call me good?

Often, we tend to overuse the word good. We associate the word good with how we're doing or how the weather is in April. But by definition, good is that which is morally right; righteousness. I have realized (after conversation with a friend) that to call someone a "good guy" apart from mentioning his worth and perfection through Christ (if he is saved) is incorrect. All of us are evil. "There is no one righteous, no not one." Christ is the one who gives us life. He is the one who makes us ...
