Use it or Lose it!

This weekend was really refreshing. I went to a retreat in Asheville, NC, put on by the Christian Legal Society. The food at the retreat center was excellent. On Saturday, I impressed myself by skiing down a pretty steep slope. This was my second time skiing. If only someone had videotaped me when I tumbled… Read More »

Poetry 101

It’s proper to look after “me” At least that’s what I claim. I think I can meet my needs. In reality, I don’t have a clue! I like to worry. Not to pray. When I pray, I’m found asleep. My duty is to love, But God first, then my neighbor. I realize that I’m shallow.… Read More »

(They say, “I can watch this movie, because it… Read More »

Since then, I have shared those messages with many friends and have seen the fruit of the messages in my own life and in the lives of others. I decided to create… Read More »

Humility, a Must for the Christian

Remember, that pride is the worst viper that is in the heart, the greatest disturber of the souls peace, and of sweet communion with Christ: it was the first sin committed, and lies lowest in the foundation of Satan’s whole building, and is with the greatest difficulty rooted out, and is the most hidden, secret,… Read More »

The Usefulness of the Internet

The internet can be a big time waster for Christians called to redeem the time. However, if used properly, the internet can be a great tool. The internet is a great place to practice discernment and engage the mind. (Romans 12:1,2) This week, I was able to browse some blogs. Tim Challies, a web designer… Read More »
