"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.

What God Enjoys Most (Part II of the Enjoying God Series)
In Scripture, we, the church, are described in several different phrases: the body of Christ, the ekklesia, the assembly, fellowship of the Firstborn, and a few others.

Food, Joy, and God: How to Enjoy God
Lately, I have been struck deeply by a part of God’s nature that it is literally transforming my life and walk, both in spiritual matters, and in “day-to-day” matters.

Thank God for Jesus
Here is a recent prayer of mine. It's a prayer and a proclaiming of Christ all in one. I hope someone is blessed by this. Thank God for Jesus. The resurrected Christ by whom the whole world was reconciled to Himself. He had to have us. He bore the cross. He not only died... Continue Reading →
A Prayer
Lord, I wanna know you. Not in the cliché or the rhetoric. I wanna know your heart. I want to see You. Lord remove the things that keep me from You! Even if it hurts. You're worth it, Jesus. You're worth every second of my life! You're worth it! May I only praise You the... Continue Reading →
