For years I had a plan. A plan to take my family and I to the next level financially by working towards a job I’ve wanted to do since I was a child. So, in 2017 I hunkered down and went back to school to get the requirements I needed for said job. The school... Continue Reading →
How my Foster child’s question brought tears to my eyes
My wife and I have been fostering children for about six months now. It has been something God has put on our hearts since we first met, so finally being in a place where we’re able to do it has been a tremendous blessing. But it hasn’t been all rainbows in sunshine. Just like any... Continue Reading →
Why Christians Need to Stop Formal Prayer
There are two different types of prayer, formal and informal, and unfortunately there aren’t enough Christians who have gotten rid of the formal style in their personal walks with Jesus in order to adopt the more relationship-building informal style. If you’re still praying formally, it is no fault of your own. From Church, to Christian... Continue Reading →
Marijuana Legalization and the Christian
As of March 2018, thirty states in the U.S have legalized Marijuana in some form, and eight out of those thirty have legalized recreational use. By this record, it’s only a matter of time before all 50 have legalized the drug for medical and recreational use. When this happens, where does it leave Christians? Should... Continue Reading →
Matthew 5:17 – How did Jesus fulfill the Law but not Abolish it?
All have sinned, therefore, you’re not only a sinner if you’ve committed an act, but you’re a sinner even if you haven’t. Due to this, the law was never complete. Let me explain: All law in the Old Testament was built to mimic righteousness through judgement. Therefore, anytime someone sinned, they would have to be... Continue Reading →

If God said “Thou shalt not kill” Why does he kill and have others kill?
Typically, when this question arrises people are referring to the story of Sodom and Gomorrah: In order to answer this question, one has to understand God’s Word is Law. Therefore, He’s the only one that can judge his Law. If God made law and no one was held accountable for it, it wouldn’t be... Continue Reading →
How did we get the name Jesus when the Letter “J” didn’t exist in Jesus’ time?
After extensive research into this subject, I compiled the shortest, most complete summary I could muster, and it goes as follows: In the original 1611 version of the King James Bible the letter “J” didn’t exist in Hebrew. The original Hebrew name of Jesus is “Yhwshua.” And no, that’s not a typo, Hebrew didn’t use... Continue Reading →
God Cannot Cause Bad Things to Happen
I’ve heard this phrase “God, why’d you do this to me,” or a variation of it from non believers to Christians alike. For some misguided reason, many have this belief that God causes evil things to happen to them. To set the record straight, God does not, and literally cannot cause evil to happen. God...
