Patiently Waiting
This passage reminded me of lyrics to a song by Brooke Fraser. It's called C.S. Lewis Song: If I find in myself desires nothing in this world can satisfy, I can only conclude that I was not made for…

Taking it Too Far
"Not only do they continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them." My youth group has really expressed this idea of being in the world but not of it. Overall it's a great…

So Much Worse
Reading about the crucifixion of Jesus is not fun. It hurts a lot to hear what he went through. I have heard the story so many times but it is still incredibly sad. To know that he was tortured when he…

We won't ever fully understand
Now I've never been married but I can imagine it must be great. I look forward to that time in my life so much. At first it makes me a little sad that we won't be married in heaven but then I stop and…

Really?
I look at the verse and I love it. But, honestly, at the same time I almost have a hard time believing it. Sure God wants us to be happy but will He really give us all the desires of our heart, even if…

Righteous Anger
Jesus was prefect right? Even he got angry at times, which to me says anger isn't always a bad thing. He even overturned tables in his anger yet somehow he remained righteous. How awesome would it be…

The parable of the seeds is a well known passage. I've read it and heard it a thousand times and every time I read it thinking I am the person planting the seeds. I thought of myself as a believer who…

It seems to me that, just as Jesus was saying here with these nations, people who have fallen the hardest and have sinned the most find repentance a lot easier than those have seen the miracles first…

I think its funny how people can get so excited and so happy over concerts, sports games, TV shows, vacations, etc. yet we sometimes struggle to find an excitement in God. Is your time spent with Him…

I can see a lot of things going on in these verses but what struck me most is the manner in which Abraham spoke to God. Each time Abraham opened his mouth again, he pleaded with the Lord to let him continue…

At Least You Tried
A couple years ago, a friend and I would go out to coffee at least once a week and talk about our youth group. She used to get so frustrated with the girls and how they were acting. She would say, "but…

Love For Your Husband
I used to think that Proverbs 31:12 had nothing to do with me yet because it speaks of women who bring good to their husbands. I thought, I'm not married yet so this really isn't relevant. However, someone…

Being an Example
Being an example to non-believers is a tough thing. Jesus was a perfect example of how we need to put ourselves around people that do not know God so that we may help them. However, it's not that simple.…

Useless Scripture?

We Must Wait
Everyone longs to give themselves completely to someone, to have a deep soul relationship with another; to be loved thoroughly and exclusively. But to the Christian, God says, "No, not until you are satisfied,…

Our Plans versus God's
The idea of giving into God's plans and letting him take control of our lives seems like such an easy task. We think we can just sit back and say "God take control!" and wait for Him to steer our lives.…
