Drinks From The Source Of Wisdom
—
by
Who was your most influential teacher? Why? While there have no doubt been some great people that have taught me in my life, I’d still say that my greatest lessons haven’t been received from people (at least directly).

—
by
We can never know what God’s will is with absolute certainty, but we can be absolutely certain that it includes seeking and listening to the Spirit. Silence is an endangered species in our world. How can we do the will of God without it? For it’s in the wilderness that Christ spent 40 days wandering.…

Feathers A Christian Poem About Letting Go of Fear and Worry
—
by
Feathers The weight of the world is a feather in the hand of its maker. It does not burden, break, or bury the one who reigns outside of Time and Space’s domain.

The Tragedy of The Parable of the Prodigal Son
—
by
No single sin disqualifies you from the love of God, but your pride disqualifies God from your love. It is the deadliest and most serious of all sins. Yes, even worse than murder. Maybe not in the eyes of the law but in the eyes of God.

—
by
We can never know with absolute certainty what God’s will is; we can only do our best to keep an open place in our mind and heart for the Spirit to speak to us, constantly revising where we’re headed based upon His promptings.

Inspirational Poem About Living For God and Not the World
—
by
They Say… They say follow your heart, but I’m thoroughly convinced mine doesn’t know where the hell it’s going. They say the heart wants what the heart wants. Mine wants to pull down the shades and get rip-roaring drunk. They say love yourself. I think if I love myself any more I’m going to join…

Recently, I’ve seen major spiritual growth and recovery in multiple “problem areas” of my life that I’ve tried time and time again to change for years.

Poem About Evangelism and the Great Commission
—
by
Vessels of Love We are all vessels of love – jars filled with tealights, made to cradle your flame and bring it to the darkness. Our failure is not in missing the mark but in failing to believe we play a part in the chapters of your story. You’ve imparted more power to us than…

Holy Justice I heard his sobs as they walked him down the row, heard the shackles jingle, the whispers of people waiting for the show. I watched in horror as they strapped him to the chair… the pleading and screaming still repeats in my head like a nightmare. I retched at the smell of burning…
