Do you meditate? The answer, no matter who you are, is yes. You meditate on something. You might meditate on your worries. You might meditate on your sadness. You might meditate on sin. You might meditate on knowledge. You might meditate on people. Christians should meditate on Truth: The Truth that God Is. The Truth that God […]

Some Things Have Changed – An Update on My Faith
A while ago (December 6th), I posted an article titled ‘Truth and Doubt.’ In it, I shared my doubts about Christianity. It was pretty big for me and I’m sure it was big for you if you know me well. You all showed a lot of care and prayed for me like crazy. And, I […]
Truth and Doubt
Hello, friends and family! I’m sure many of you have noticed my lack of blogging, and I wanted to share the reason for that with you today. Ever since I could remember, I believed in God and the Bible and Creation and all those things. One of my earliest memories is talking to my dad […]

Scoops of ice cream ladled with caramel syrup and chocolate shavings had been set by each place for dessert. But now the guests […]

Yet, often we Christians ignore it or devalue it. That’s a big mistake. Today we will be looking at two spiritual disciplines. Both of them surround the […]
Islam and Christianity
We’ve known Islam was dangerous for a long time, but recently, the dealings with Isis have gotten to a point where many Christians are worried. The culture in America seems to be blinded to the danger of Islam, coining words like “Islamiphobia.” Islam is deadly, and I would venture to say it was created by […]
Spiritual Disciplines Series
Coming up on this blog: a series of how-to on each of the Spiritual Disciplines, laid out in Don Whitney’s (very good) book, Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life. The Spiritual Disciplines are not legalistic or boring. If practiced to somehow be more spiritual or have a spiritual prowess over others, then that would be legalistic. If practiced to […]
