With a Rebel Yell… She Cried

In 2017, shortly after the inauguration of President Donald Trump, I wrote a post called "The Great American Stalemate will Show Who we Really Are." Parts of it were sort of "off" but much of it turned out to be (sadly) prophetic. Most notably, coming out of that...

It's important to check yourself on occasion. It’s a way to know what's going on in your head and in your heart. I say this knowing full well there is a sinister vibe that likes to flow through my own soul. It’s not something I am proud of. And, truth be told, I...

Ever consider Christian death? Doubtful, but those things that influence us, carry forward our attitudes and life into eternal directions. Which direction are they guiding you?

Spiritual warfare is very real. We must therefore pursue of broader discipleship so we can stand firm in our faith while in a world that wants to call us guilty as we are fulfilling a divine calling.

The Reality of Spiritual Warfare and The Battle for Your Heart

Spiritual warfare. It’s a term that conjures all sorts of visual representations. And it probably varies greatly by culture. I can’t claim to be all that knowledgeable about it, and I have kept my life mostly ignorant of the concept. I like to live in my little bubble...

In the midst of our personal pain, we do tend put more focus on ourselves than on God. Edwards sought to keep perspective by remembering the torments of Hell whenever he was inclined to lose that focus.

The Torments of Hell and Can I Really Feel Your Personal Pain?

Are you going through life and not really knowing how to live? The Bible talks about this, specifically in Ecclesiastes. I think of that book every time I hear Audioslave’s song, “Show Me How to Live.”

I Need Somebody to Show Me How to Live – for Real

One of the worst fates is going through life and not ever knowing how to live. I mean genuinely knowing how to live fully with freedom to be you and pursue your purpose. The Audioslave song, Show Me How To Live is one that always gets me pondering that premise. Some...

I wonder if our YOLO culture will produce no regrets or more regrets for people approaching the ends of their lives. We may never know, but we should give thought to our response in our own earthly lives, and the eternal implications of the answer.

The Key to Living a Life of No Regrets in a YOLO Culture

There’s no easy way to say this, so here it is; we’re going to die. And when that time approaches for each of us, we want to be able to look back on our lives and say we have no regrets, right? That’s the idealistic scenario, at least. Is it realistic? Maybe. Of...
