Theology & Life

Singing is not my forte. If the pitch gets high enough, there’s simply no way I am going to match it—no matter how hard I try. Then I wind up sounding like the cat on my back patio at 2 a.m. the other night, screeching constantly and keeping me awake.…

For all my life I was never one to enjoy writing. And yet, when the Lord saved me, he gave me the desire to read. The more I read, the more I felt the itch to write my own content.  Here I am, and I’ve been writing seriously since 2018–now…

Living the Christian life is hard. It’s easy to cave to our flesh, to do what we know to be wrong, to just go with the flow of society. It takes grace-driven effort to slow down, look around, and keep our head in the Bible and our eyes on the…

Jesus reserved His harshest words for the religious leaders of His day. In a similar fashion, the Apostle Paul did the same regarding those who would dare preach a false gospel. In Galatians 1:6-9, Paul pens these sobering words to the saints of Galatia: “I am astonished that you are…

“Lord Jesus, give me a deeper repentance…a deeper trust…a deeper knowledge of thyself…a deeper power in private prayer…[and] deeper holiness.” (Valley of Vision) I want to go deeper; I desire to have more robust communion with God. That’s the struggle for all Christians, isn’t it? Or, at the very least,…

Let’s talk about money. It’s a tough topic talking about money can be difficult. Speaking about money in relation to being a Christian is even more difficult. The Bible speaks addresses this topic and we should too. Of course, Jesus tells us in Matthew 6:24 that we cannot serve both…

You wake up in the morning and, by instinct, the first thing you do is check social media. You instantly crave the latest “news” and you fear you’ve missed something if you don’t check it (which is a lie, of course). You mindlessly scroll on Facebook until you realize it’s…
