Continue reading →: Discipline and the Christian LifeI’m not really into New Year’s resolutions. I don’t think they’re silly, but for me, it’s easy to start one and then quit after a few weeks or a month. I’ve been there many, many times. And I’m sure you have, too — unless you’re more disciplined than the rest…

Continue reading →: All Beauty Points to GodThere are a plethora of things in life that cause us to be amazed, to wonder, to be in awe. Sunsets are glorious, waterfalls are beautiful, and though I’ve never been, I’m sure the Grand Canyon is spectacular. Creation is full of wonders that are bigger than us. But have…

Continue reading →: Reflections on Psalm 8The night sky shines as I look up at it in my driveway. I marvel at its beauty. I’m astonished at how clear it is, and how many stars are visible. The stars I see are innumberable to count; then I glance at the moon. Amazed; struck; in a trance.…

Continue reading →: We are TrinitariansWhen I got my wisdom teeth out this year, an obligatory video was taken of me in my half-asleep state. Part of my problem was I didn’t remember saying half of it, but I do remember one thing. When I got into the car, my mom (she took me because…

Continue reading →: Finding Purpose in Your VocationIn the 1 Corinthians 10:31, the Apostle Paul exhorts us to do all things to the glory of God: “So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God” (1 Corinthians 10:31).

Continue reading →: In HimOur union with Christ is foundational to our lives as Christians. Truly, if we aren’t in Christ then we literally aren’t Christians. We live as Christians in union with Jesus, eternally connected with Him. There’s not a single area of the Christian life that is lived independently from union with…

Hello,
I’m Blake
I am a Christian who loves to write about the connection between theology and life. I am married to my wife, Shale, who is a special education teacher. We have been married for five years now. We have two little girls, Jovi and Piper, and they are wonderful. We also have a dog, Dundie–yes, for you people who love The Office, he is named after The Dundie Awards–who is crazy, hairy, but very sweet and rowdy.
I received my BS in Mass Communications from East Central University and did my MTS in Preaching and Pastoral Ministry at Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary.
I am currently working for a philanthropic nonprofit organization, although it is an aspiration of mine to eventually be in ministry, Lord willing.
My wife and I are covenant members of Sovereign Grace Bible Church and have been for eight years now. We are richly blessed by our church.
