The Perturbed Heart, Part 1

Consider the inner chaos you are experiencing connected to another person or people. Whatever feelings they provoke in you, that’s what God is after. The closer the relationship, the deeper the emotional impact. These feelings reflect the deeper issues of your heart—your insecurities, fears, desires, and your ability to connect and love. It’s within this space that God wants to transform your life.

How Big is God… really?

As Christians, most of us have been taught that there is an unseen world – beyond viruses and bacteria — that affects the seen world.  We know that Satan prowls like a lion seeking whom he may devour. We know our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against an evil force we can barely wrap our minds around.

All of my own naivete, foolishness and nonsense remind me what an incredible gift God’s mercy is to have allowed me the room to grow, change, and mature.

What is Wisdom

In today’s postmodern culture, it would seem that “wisdom” is not absolute but is only determined in relevance to personal circumstances however one decides to define or identify it. The argument is that something that is “relative” is not lasting and not valuable. Why would we seek it, then?

Running the Race

There’s just something indescribably great reaped into the heart through a journey of pain and perseverance. Something not grasped or understood through any other means. The “win” isn’t the crowds response, it’s in the consistent training done along the way.
