Pray like your life depends on it because it does. Pray in everything, about everything. Make every moment of your life count, because the only moment we have is the moment we’re in now. And through it all, pray like your life depends on it because it does.

When I read the below definition on the potency of prayer, I am deeply convicted that I have not, because I ask not. (James 4:3) I also am reminded that perhaps in some cases I “ask amiss”. God, may I draw closer to you, be more in tune to your desires for me, and alwaysContinue reading “The Potency of Prayer”

It’s Friday. It’s no ordinary Friday in the pages of history or eternity.  It’s a Friday that commemorates the most impactful and powerful Friday ever bestowed on the human race. It was the anticipated Friday drafted in the corridors of eternity.  But… It was a dark Friday.The earth groaned in anguish.The sun stopped shining.Evil seemedContinue reading “No Ordinary Friday”

“It is one of the marvels of a thinking mind, and one of the strongest proofs of the divinity of Christianity, that it has escaped annihilation from the falsities of its own friends and defenders, — false lives or false doctrines or false philosophies.” (A.M.

The snow gently glides through the cold morning air, and I reminisce back over the past few months, pondering how seasons have come and gone.  As I contemplate,Continue reading “It’s In The Dirt”
