What we focus on, we ultimately become. It’s a little sad when anti-sin messages heavily outweigh pro-Jesus messages in the church. An “Anti” message will always be a weak shadow compared to a “Pro” message.   The old system under the law of Moses was only a shadow, a dim preview of the good things Continue reading

“Keep your chin up as you untangle God from cold blood and bruises.” –Sleeping at Last, Careful Hands I don’t know if any of you went to my site yesterday, but it didn’t exactly look like this. While I was at motorcycle class all day (which by the way, I passed with an A, amazingly Continue reading

A few years ago, I worked for a youth ministry, touring and putting on stadium events all over the country. I don’t write or talk about it a lot, there are a lot of good and bad things that happened those two and a half years, and I am still trying to sort through it Continue reading

*Please note, this is not written to one particular church or group, this is my experience as a whole. Dear Church, I feel like I need to write this letter to you or I will explode. I need to express a few of my honest feelings and opinions in hope to make amends. First of Continue reading

No more let sins and sorrows grow, Nor thorns infest the ground; He comes to make His blessings flow Far as the curse is found Far as the curse is found, Far as, far as, the curse is found. I long for this to be true in my life. True like the air I breathe. Continue reading

The other day I went with a group to a homeless shelter. I used to go to places like that and think I was bringing them something. As if they really need me to ladle soup for them, I mean, anyone can do that. I used to get some sense of crappy self-righteousness when I Continue reading
