In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. Romans 8:26 What a great gift that God has given us by sending the Spirit to live in us. The spirit that lives withinContinue reading “The Spirit Knows”

Our God
When thinking about the attributes of our God, I tend to put him in a box. Put limits on what he can and can’t do. I forget sometimes, what it means to be the creator of the universe. I know all the Biblical stories. Jesus turning water into wine, the healings, the raising of theContinue reading “Our God”
Into the Fire
We’ve all gone through those times when we feel like we are “in the fire.” Some trouble or hardship that overwhelms us and brings us to our knees. It can shake our faith and sometimes we can feel like things are hopeless. We can cry out to God asking, “Why am I going through this?”Continue reading “Into the Fire”
He will always pursue us, even when we aren’t pursuing him.
Every year it seems I fall into a pattern with my writing here on this blog. About this time of year, the end of summer and beginning of fall, I start to write more. This will last through the fall and winter. Once the new year kicks in, I slowly start slowing down and usuallyContinue reading “He will always pursue us, even when we aren’t pursuing him.”
I don’t want to waste this day
I keep little snippets of text, thoughts, images in a my Evernote account that I run across each day. Sometimes I never go back to look at them. This morning I started going through some old notes and came across this image that I took while reading The Purpose Driven Life almost 2 years ago.Continue reading “I don’t want to waste this day”
Stop Doubting and Believe
Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe!” – John 20:27 From this verse comes so many cliches we’ve heard over the centuries. We read about “Doubting Thomas”, someone who refuses to believe without direct personal experience.Continue reading “Stop Doubting and Believe”
Just Do it!
I’ve been trying to do everything other than write this post. Why? It’s not a great revealing post nor one that I will reveal a great sin. This post is nothing more than a statement of what I feel God is calling me to do. And by putting it down on virtual paper, it feelsContinue reading “Just Do it!”
Call Me Guilty
We live in a world where we sometimes feel hesitant to share what we believe, to share the reason why we have such joy in our life. No more, I say. When did it become break a rule To say your name out loud in school When you names the only one that sets us free.Continue reading “Call Me Guilty”
Confessing in Christ
My wife and I sat down last night and watched the movie God’s Not Dead. The theme of the movie really comes from the scripture in Matthew 10:32,33. When that was revealed early in the movie, I couldn’t get it out of my head the rest of the evening. If anyone acknowledges me publicly hereContinue reading “Confessing in Christ”
Strengthening my Faith through Code
I’m not sure I’ve ever had a discussion with a true atheist. Plenty of agnostics, many that are just indifferent and some of different religions, but I can’t say ever a true atheist. Many of you know I’m a software developer by trade, so I deal everyday with things that a large majority of people don’t understand.Continue reading “Strengthening my Faith through Code”
