We Didn’t Want the Disruption
We 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 more than that. Maybe we…

Living in Light of God’s Kingdom
Jesus 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 can become an afterthought. As…

Consider Supporting Me
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. By God’s grace I’ve been…

When We Think on Heaven
There 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 is, seated at the right…

The Imago Dei Under Attack
The 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 because it wasn’t created after…

What if I Don’t Want to Rejoice?
“Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice.” (Philippians 4:4 ESV) Humans are natural rejoicers. 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 to “rejoice in the Lord…

Writing for God’s Glory
I love to write. From blog posts to books—and everything in between—writing has quickly become a passion of mine. I have only been writing seriously for a couple of years, so I know I have a long way to go, but I love the process of becoming better. Specifically as a writer of Christian content,…
