Sanctification Leads to a Purified Light

Often times in church or in church-like conversations, we quickly become overwhelmed with the terminology that is spoken of, whether it is words like propitiation, sanctification, redemption, atonement, etc. we feel overwhelmed and inferior to whomever is talking to us.  Due to feeling such discouragement, it often trickles into a lack of focus.  The lack of focus stems from a poor education of…

Let’s face it; our current society has an obsession with trends, fashions, Cinderella stories, tangible goods, and pursuing happiness. We spend our time checking out whatever is trending on Facebook, Twitter, Yahoo, and other entertainment sites. A large determination behind why we are so overwhelmed by the latest and greatest is because we love innovation. We love the latest iPhone, the latest…

Have you ever wondered what truly began Christianity?  For those of you who have, let’s put it into our cultural paradigm. A lot of us, especially in America, land in one of three categories – We profess Christ is King and live daily to exalt His name We are nominal Christians who claim to associate with Christ, but don’t follow His teachings or His commands See Christianity and roll our eyes at…

Hey guys!   I know that over the past year or so, I have been slow to write a lot of blogs – unlike how I was cranking them out before.  This is largely because I have been going through several life changing events.  For example, I have gotten married, assisted in planting a church, moved, started a couple new jobs, and have been WORKING on my new BOOK!  Yes, you read that correctly, launching…

People are…well confusing:

As humanity, we have a distinct perpetual issue within ourselves that has been reoccurring for thousands of years.  This issue is mans faith in his (her) own ability and mans ability to believe in his (her) self-sufficient being. This broken down would essentially mean that man does not need anything else, because man is provisional (provides) for himself. Unfortunately…

The Credibility of the Scriptures:

Shalom, my friends:

  My prayer is that God will bless and keep you through your journeys and that you will keep our Father at the forefront of your life.  That you will also continue to pray without ceasing, as God has called us to serve His people and make disciples of all-nations, states, providences, cities, towns, and friends.  

  Could the Scriptures be false in any way?

  This question has…

Often times we turn Christianity into an academic exercise. We use the Scriptures for information rather than transformation. We gain stature in knowledge while provide no action to support God’s Word.

Nothing was cooler than spending multiple hours sitting in Starbucks, chatting only about Jesus, with my fiancé, on our 3 year anniversary. 

There is no more romantic of a date than spending hours with the love of your life, discussing the greatest love story in human history. May God be solely glorified in all things.

My prayer to you, friends!

My daily prayer is to let You guide me Jesus. I ask You show me just as you showed your brother James, the wisdom that only comes from you. But don’t just stop there Jesus, I plead you instruct such wisdom on my brothers and sisters in Christ.

My heart is desperate for you, Jesus. But as much as anyone could long to be with You, You long to be with us infinitely more.

Jesus is the cure, man is the infection.

When our worship becomes cliche, it loses all authenticity.

We must, as declared by Jesus, worship God with all of our heart, soul, spirit, and mind. This is what Jesus claimed to be the most important of the commandments.

The days of cliche worship are amongst us, we must fight through them and go back to solemnly worshiping God, as the deity He is. He is forever worthy of all of our praises,…

I beg each of you, in the name of Jesus, to pay an act of kindness to a stranger today.

Paying it forward not only is about the good deed we’re doing, but the representation of Jesus in our hearts should be the root of why we do what we do. Let’s all glorify Jesus as a Christian community by paying it forward today! Jesus did this, so why can’t we?

I’d love to see this post shared all over!…

How can we reach others and boast the ways of Jesus, when we portray ourselves as defeated, unhappy, and dead emotionally?

Our relationship with Jesus should be offering as much more than just a Sunday reinvigoration, but as an every second blessing and joy that can only be that of God.

Let’s not be dull in our ways, but shine our appearance to radiate the glory of our Father!

16 “For God so loved the world,[a] that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

Let this delve into the depths of your mind, ponder on how this sacrificial love is a love that only God could offer humanity. A love that humanity cannot offer itself, much less offer God for His blessings. God’s love is humbling. God is good!

Faith that isn’t blind, isn’t faith at all.
