From Forsaken to Married
With the Global Isaiah 62 Fast wrapping up this week, I want to take the opportunity to share some thoughts I have on Isaiah 62 and on Israel in general. Millions of believers across the world have joined together in prayer for Israel for these 21 days and this is so encouraging to me. And…

The Pear of Life
This post is second in a series about eternal rewards. Have you ever wondered what it would be like to live forever? I mean, look, I know I’m a Christian and most of my readers are Christians and so we’ve all talked our entire Christian lives about eternal life in heaven with Jesus and all…

The Kingdom Of Heaven
This is the first in a series about eternal rewards. Kingdoms are weird. I mean, think about it. I live in the United States of America and have for my entire life. I know that is the case for most of you, my esteemed readers. The idea of a kingdom is a completely foreign concept…

Rewarding Faithfulness
So whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. (1 Corinthians 10:31) Chances are, if you’ve spent much time in a church, you’ve probably heard this verse. If you haven’t spent a whole lot of time in a church then obviously it’s much less likely you’ve heard…

Watch. Learn. Do.
Don’t make converts. Make disciples. We hear that a lot in churches, especially in churches that are particularly good at making disciples. Maybe, also, in churches that are particularly good at making converts but not so much at making disciples. Don’t make converts. Make disciples. But what is a disciple? I mean, really? The word…

Costly Intercession
I noticed something while reading Genesis chapter 8 the other day. I haven’t yet fully formed my ideas on it which means, of course, it’s perfect material for this blog! Leading up to Genesis 8 we have the account of how the earth was so filled with wickedness that God said “Nah” and sent a…
