Continue reading →: We Didn’t Want the DisruptionWe had life just the way we wanted. Sure, there were things in life that could’ve been better. No life is perfect; there are always things needing updated or changed. But for the most part, life was good. We may have given lip service to God but it was never…

Continue reading →: Living in Light of God’s KingdomJesus could return any day. His eternal kingdom could come at any moment. In a world with endless enticements, it can be difficult to live in light of God’s eternal kingdom. We get so distracted by what we go through on a daily basis that living intentionally for our King…

Continue reading →: When We Think on HeavenThere is something sanctifying about fixating our eyes on Heaven and the glories to be experienced there. It’s no wonder the Apostle Paul exhorted us to do so in Colossians 3:2, where he wrote, “If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ…

Continue reading →: The Imago Dei Under AttackThe doctrine of the imago Dei—the image of God—is foundational to the Christian faith. We believe all people—man, woman, the unborn—have inherent value, worth, and dignity because they’re created by God (Genesis 1:27). Humanity is sacred because of the imago Dei. We have more value and worth than the cockroach…

Not only do we love rejoicing but we do so all the more with others. And yet, there are many times we simply do not want to rejoice. Though the Bible tells us…

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.
