So often we just think of faith as something that makes God do things. And while it may move God to action, it may be just as much about getting a revelation of what God wants to happen, and moving us into action. I don’t understand everything God does or why He does it. But one […]

You can design your life on purpose to reflect what is important to you, or the universe will design your life by default. There is a great chance that the default life will leave you wanting. God created you for a purpose. You were no accident. He designed you with specific talents, interests and gifts, […]

It’s easy being the critic. But if you’ve ever been any good as an artist, it changes your criticism. Why? Because you know how hard it is to be a great artist, and that changes your standard, your point of reference. The couch critic exposes his own lack of expertise in his negative criticism.

Even my photo search for this post, revealed very few suitable photos for a Christian context. That sentiment seems to be prevalent even among the Christians I talk too. […]

It seems everywhere I look I see a different church denomination. Baptist, Mennonite, Catholic, Presbyterian, Methodist, Baptist, Baptist, Free-Will Baptist, Independent Baptist, Amish, Baptist, Old-Order Mennonite, Amish, Eastern Orthodox… I hardly got started and I already missed that other Baptist one. Each of these split off some other group in the course of history over […]

Focus is a powerful thing. They say that a race car driver that allows his vision to focus on the wall for a second is likely to crash into the wall. You are drawn to what you focus on. That is true in most areas in life. If you allow your mind to focus on […]

For the last few years, me and God have been arguing on how He mishandled the whole Moses situation. Remember him? Moses?
