Today is our Judgment; Today We Meet God

Today is our Judgment; Today We Meet God Our mindset as humans is constrained within time.  We are dependent upon consecutive moments in time that lead us to our aspirations, out of trials, through afflictions, etc.  When we pray to God, we often imagine Him as living within our world of time, and thereby, being [...]

Grace and Mercy

Grace and Mercy 4But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, 5made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved. -Ephesians 2: 4 – 5 We all hear that we need grace and mercy but do we ever actually [...]

Hope for the Future

Hope for the Future We experience all kinds of hope: hope for the future, hope during uncertainty, etc.  But as a Christian, our hope should never flee.  “You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly.” (Romans 5:6).  Christ’s followers placed their hope in him while he [...]

A Real Relationship With God

A Real Relationship With God What does it mean to be in a relationship with God?  I’m not questioning if you are in a relationship with God, but we shouldn’t be so quick to placement judgment on others as if they are not in a relationship with God for some reason such as lack of [...]

Spiritual Warfare In Our Relationships With Others

Spiritual Warfare In Our Relationships With Others “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rules, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.” Ephesians 6:12 Let’s face it, in this particular verse Paul isn’t saying that we enter [...]

The Seven Things God Hates

The Seven Things God Hates “There are six things the LORD hates, seven that are detestable to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil, a false witness who pours out lies and a man who stirs up [...]

Prayer Ramblings

Prayer Ramblings Last night as I was praying, I realized how often I was repeating the same points.  I was quickly convicted because I realized that the repetition was an underlying lack of faith.  Using this example, if you can imagine faith within a glass, then my faith only filled up less than the rim.  [...]

God is My Inheritance

God is My Inheritance It is easy to loose focus in this season that I’m going through – 2 months left till I graduate from business school with an MBA, school loans so insanely high that it would be a shame to even mention the debt, have not received a full-time job offer yet, no [...]
