As the saying goes, “a little leaven leaventh the whole lump.” Well, unfortunately, a little grumpiness can ruin an entire weekend too. I must admit that I didn’t start my weekend off very well by dropping my cell phone into the pool at work before 6:00 a.m. on Friday morning. From that point, I was…
It Costs Something
It costs something to be a true Christian. Let that never be forgotten. To be a mere nominal Christian, and go to church, is cheap and easy work. But to hear Christ’s voice, and follow Christ, and believe in Christ, and confess Christ, requires much self-denial. It will cost us our sins, and our self-righteousness,…
The Church
The church is the most important organization in the world. It is the target of every demonic, hostile attack in the universe. Jesus personally guaranteed that the gates of hell will never prevail against the church. He made no guarantee that the gates of hell would not be unleashed against it, however. —RC Sproul
Life is Crazy
It has been nearly a month since I last wrote a post. In that time, I have finished three classes from Liberty University Online and started two additional classes.

I too spook and run at the circumstances of life…
A Life of Authenticity
This is a MUST READ from a friend’s blog– A Life of Authenticity.
Proverbs 7
My son, keep my words and treasure up my commandments with you; keep my commandments and live; keep my teaching as the apple of your eye; bind them on your fingers; write them on the tablet of your heart. Say to wisdom, “You are my sister,” and call insight your intimate friend, to keep you…
A Heritage of Change
Miracle Mountain Ranch has played a significant role in bringing change into my life, and as I read this article, I could almost hear Matt Cox saying these words. There has only been a few of Matt’s chapel messages that have not brought tears to my eyes, even back in the years when I had…
What We Need Most
“What you and I need most is not the affirmation of our stories, nor content-less, shapeless platitudes about the mysterious journey of faith, nor a morality pep talk, nor the undermining of God’s sovereignty. What we need is a glimpse of God in all his terrible splendor and wonderful weightiness.” Read the rest of the…
