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 →
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 →
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 →
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 →

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 →
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 →
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...

Over the years, within the mix of countless church services I've attended, I've heard this question answered the same way time and time again, but I was never satisfied. In each instance, the Pastor, Preacher, Minister, or whatever they answered to, would stand up and definitively say, "To test us!" While this may be true,... Continue Reading →
Sometimes, one of the hardest things to do as a Christian is to distinguish the voice of God from your own. Newer Christians would often have trouble with this question, but separating the voice of the soul and Spirit can be difficult for even the most veteran Christ follower.
