  Pondering At Sunrise – A Christian Poem on the Beauty of Nature I look out into the morning sky, Waiting for the curtain of night to lift, And the same questions I’ve sought answers To for ages keep rolling through my head: Why can’t I accept grace as a gift And not as a reward…

  As Christians, we are not only called to follow Christ, but also to lead others to him. Evangelism is a good thing, but all too often it seems the Great Commission is used as simply a way of spreading the Gospel through words. Very few people are actually converted through words alone. While Jesus’ words…

  My God – A Christian Poem About Jesus and Salvation My God has hoisted up the worldAnd bore its weight upon his shouldersWhile it was spitting in his faceAnd driving nails through his limbs like 2x4s. Who descended from heaven on highAnd embarked on a journey unwalkable by human flesh.Who allowed his body to be…

  “Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus,who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself…

  This is a continuation of my post yesterday about dealing with the topic of doubt. It is a common misconception that there is something wrong with doubts, that if you doubt you don’t really believe. This is simply not true. Even John the Baptist had doubts. “Now when John heard in prison about the deeds…

  Let’s face it. Sometimes it’s difficult in our world of skeptics, cynics, and pessimists to keep our faith strong. Everywhere you turn there are articles, people, and influences steering you away from a belief in God and towards a belief in self. Our culture shows a similarity to the time of the Judges of Israel. “Everyone…

  Guidance Pave paths of love and humility That lead to your feet – Through scorching deserts and bitter winters That I may become patient and meek. May my woes and tears Not be shed in vain, But used as food for your seed, Falling and nourishing like rain. If the road I’m on stops abruptly…

  Why is it that we have such a hard time letting go of physical wants and desires? Humans have been searching for happiness in all the wrong places for thousands of years and probably will for thousands to come, while history has shown time and time again that success and riches do not make people…

  Often, we have a misunderstanding about accepting Jesus into our lives. We believe that we are not able to come to him until we have cleaned up our act. Maybe we’re not completely wanting to clean up our act; maybe we want to clean it up, but are scared; and maybe we just don’t know how…

  One of the hardest things to do as Christians is to uphold the truth of the Word, while at the same time not judging or condemning people. Comments like: “If they’re offended at what I say, they need to take it up with God because all I am doing is spreading his Word” seem to be an…

  Love and Lust Love is an ancient art – A forgotten antiquity endangered And on the verge of extinction. We’ve traded real commitment For one night stands. A lifetime friend and partner For someone willing to let us use them To satisfy our demands. Love has become a carnival of lust, Where feelings control our…

  Contemplation Slow down the orchestra of madnessRambling and roaring in your mind.Let go of the pride and angerYou’ve been holding onto,Waiting for the perfect opportunityTo lash it out,And tune your heart to the key of love.

  God’s Promises It is said faith can move mountains,So why are you still looking for a way around?In the desert the Lord will raise fountains,So why are you still worried water won’t be found? It is said “a faintly burning wick he will not quench”*A weak heart he will not break.So why are you shielding…
