Redefined Priorities
In Matthew 4:17 in the Bible Jesus says, "Repent, for the Kingdom of heaven is at hand." What is repentance? Repentance is, in this context, acknowledging that one is living a wrong lifestyle and then asking God for forgiveness and then redefining one's priorities accordingly.......Read More

Success
I read a sign posted outside a local high school. It said, "success is going from failure to failure without losing your enthusiasm." Unfortunately whoever wrote it was mistaken... that's not success, it's just enthusiasm! Our culture here in North America just loves to affirm......Read More

Birthrights
The book of Genesis, chapter 25, in the Bible tells the story of Esau selling his birthright to his brother Jacob. In those days, the firstborn son had a right to most of his family's inheritance. Depending on the wealth of your family, this could be a significant sum of property and wealth. A......Read More

Fundamentals
I spent most of my teenage years playing football. I've played on a few different teams and had the privilege of playing for many great coaches with all kinds of different teaching styles. One thing that sticks out in my mind is how all of them always harped on us about practicing and improving......Read More

They Reeled and Staggered
Psalm chapter 107 is probably my favourite chapter in the whole Bible. I turned to it again today. I'm having a rough time right now. It's ironic how I started writing just on the cusp of my world turning upside-down. This is pain I don't want to write about or talk about... I'd rather just......Read More

Truthful, But Not Honest
Telling the truth is not always the exact same thing as being an honest person. Not saying something when we should, is not right either. It's probably as bad as a lie, I reckon. That's the situation I've found myself in for the last several months. I've been keeping something to myself that I......Read More

The Romance
There is a metaphor that God uses all through the Bible, spanning centuries and cultures, to describe his relationship with His people. That metaphor is the loving marriage between a man and a woman. God is a great communicator... the greatest, in fact. He knows how to get His point across. He......Read More

Excuses, Excuses
So it's now 40 minutes to Monday and I haven't written anything on here since Friday. If you read my profile, it says I'm planning to write here every day and be disciplined. So do you know how it makes me feel that I haven't? Not very bad actually! Big deal. I had a busy weekend. What I......Read More

What Are You Looking At?
What I want to talk about today is how Jesus won't beg for our attention, but He will do everything that needs to be done to keep us close to His side as long as we want to be there. Go watch this video and then read below the link.......Read More
