For I am already being poured out like a drink offering, and the time for my departure is near. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to…Read more

Today was a good reminder of our citizenship in heaven. I consider the freedom we experience here in America, especially in regards to religion. But we know the kingdom of God is even more free than what we see and experience. “But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there,…Read more

Earlier this evening, I went berry picking with my family. As I was walking along the black raspberry bush, the very beginning seemed like there were a lot of berries everywhere. It was actually a really good start. Once I hit maybe five or six feet down the row, however, it started to piddle out…Read more

“Finally, all of you, be like-minded, be sympathetic, love one another, be compassionate and humble. Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult. On the contrary, repay evil with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing” (1 Peter 3:8-9, NIV). The phrase “be like-minded” was translated…Read more

He was chosen before the creation of the world, but…Read more

“But the gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died by the trespass of the one man, how much more did God’s grace and the gift that came by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, overflow to the many! Nor can the gift of God be compared with the result…Read more

I have recently had a lot of time to reflect upon the journey I have had since I first believed in God. There is a big difference between the six-year-old who first understand salvation and where I am at now. Part of this is for sure because I have slowly grown in maturity as well…Read more

One of my all-time favorite songs is “Hallelujah” originally by Leonard Cohen. Why? Because it reflects over and over on how we don’t deserve the grace God has given us, and yet… God gave it to us freely. It focuses on our weaknesses and how god is still glorified when we turn to Him. Thinking…Read more
