What is ministry? A question I've pondered quite a bit since I first became a Christian in 2008. The Western Church's definition of ministry is essentially a vocational office held by a paid, educated professional. But what's the definition within the context of Scripture--especially that of the New Testament? Typically, when we hear the word ministry, we think... Continue Reading →
Hello folks! Sorry it's been awhile since I've published anything on this site. My wife, Heather, and I have been extremely busy. We've also been learning a lot about Jesus and walking with Him as a couple. I do plan on continuing to contribute to this blog. In fact, I have a lot of ideas... Continue Reading →
"Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." (John 8:32 NIV) This is a common saying among many believers and non-believers alike. I've used it many times. Though, to be honest, I just thought it sounded good...and spiritual. You know, Jesus said it, so it must mean something. But I... Continue Reading →

"You hurled me into the depths, into the very heart of the seas and the currents swirled about me, all your waves and breakers swept over me." (Jonah 2:3) "...but you, LORD my God, brought my life up from the pit." (Jonah 2:6) The previous post, The Mark of Brokenness, I gave a general outline on the mark... Continue Reading →
Very truly I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds. (John 12:24) Winter is coming--very slowly here in Texas, I must add, but it is coming nonetheless. All the life that came with Spring all... Continue Reading →
