Shema: “Hear…”
A Divine Mystery: Strength in Weakness
These two themes run from Genesis to Revelation: Pride and Humility. Pride is first seen in Genesis at the Garden of Eden, through the proud words of the Serpent. Humility, too, is first seen in Genesis, through God giving Adam and Eve animal skins to cover their shame after they bought into the lie of…
TRUTH is the Reality
First, let me define “truth.” Truth is the manifestation of reality. And God is truth (meaning reality). God is the ultimate reality and therefore every word that proceeds from His mouth is reality since it originates with Him. The Psalms state that God’s Word is pure, perfect, exact, without error, is life, is eternal, is…
Jesus, You Take Care of This: ____
Have you ever felt the need to just cry out “Jesus, You take care of this problem”? If you said no, I would question your walk with God. I would question it for the simple reason that God designed life in such a way as to cause us to “need” Him. Needing Him not only…
The Best Way You Can Support My Mental Health
I wrote this first on Facebook. But I believe I should also post it here. What I would answer someone who says, “How can I support you in dealing with OCD” I would tell them that the best way they can support “any” child of God who struggles with their mental health, is first by…
Jesus and Mental Health
I read a book a couple of years ago titled: Can Christianity Cure Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. I’ll admit it is a strange title. I would have titled it, Can Jesus Cure OCD. But that’s just my opinion. Anyway, it was a very good read! I read it over and over. I took notes and shared…
A Testimony
This tattoo is a testimony. In March of 2018, I got this tattoo on my right forearm. Many will look at this and see a cross with some kind of jar with fire, smoke, or a heart shape coming out of the top. However, this is a cross holding a broken clay jar, coming out…
How to Discern the Spirit’s Voice
According to David Diga Hernandez, a Christian pastor on YouTube, the greatest problem among Christians today is their loss of identity. If I were to ask you what your parents are like (or parent, or whoever raised you) I trust you would be able to tell me specific details about them. Maybe you would say…
How The Conquest of Canaan Pictures Our Sanctification
We all have experienced the “process” of growing up. Not one of us has had the option of skipping babyhood and moving right into adulthood. But just for fun, think with me for a moment of the natural consequences if we were. Well, to begin with, we probably would not know how to control our…
Why Having a Biblical Worldview Is So Important
Did you know that our “worldview” is what informs both our thinking and behavior? According to George Barna, of the Barna poll, only three percent of Christians live according to a Biblical worldview. Now, a “Biblical” worldview means that a person uses the Bible as the “lens” by which they view all of life. In…
What We Need Is God’s Perspective
At the beginning of Exodus, we see a group of Israelites departing out of Egypt, leaving their slavery, and heading toward the Promised Land. But those of us who know the story are fully aware that what happened between these two points is highly significant. We know that the Wilderness was a long journey filled…
