What the Heart Heard – A Poem
—
by
What is this sound come beating in my heart, that rattles my walls and shakes me apart? It roars with the echo of a thousand lions, always on the prowl. Stealthily seeking to devour me when its advances I finally allow. It is a soft, cool whisper like the wind howling through the trees, anxiously…

“So to keep me from becoming conceited because of the surpassing greatness of the revelations, a thorn was given me in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to harass me, to keep me from becoming conceited. Three times I pleaded with the Lord about this, that it should leave me. But he said to me, “My…

Christians, Stop Dividing With Hate and Follow Christ
—
by
This weekend I was curious about a certain aspect about writer and Christian apologist C.S. Lewis’s life. When I sought the information on the internet, I stumbled upon a page and was appalled by the article that was written by a Christian pastor. He basically claimed that because Lewis did not come out and bash…

Struggling With Sin
—
by
“For I do not understand my own actions. For I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate.” (Romans 7:15) I think just about everyone can relate to this verse. We find ourselves committing the same sins over and over again, even after we swear we’ll never commit them…

The Dark Night of the Soul – Seeking Jesus in Our Doubts
—
by
Faith As An Emotion Sometimes I think we put way too much weight on faith. When I say “faith” I am defining it by the way the majority of Christians use the term – as a feeling. When we think of faith, feeling and emotion are immediately attached to it. Your faith is measured by…

Prayer For Guidance – How To Make Hard Decisions and Choices

“And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, ‘Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?’ Then I said, ‘Here I am! Send me.’” (Isaiah 6:8) Many times my selfishness wishes my ears were mute to the Lord’s whisper of “whom shall I send”. I have been searching for God my entire…

Surrendering and Serving God

by
“No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.” (Matthew 6:24) God really worked on my heart last night thinking about this topic. I have been in a season…
