We are a few weeks into the new year and, right now, some of those resolutions we made are starting to feel like weights tied to our ankles. Our motivations and enthusiasm may be dwindling, but I pray to be of some encouragement. Maybe, just maybe, what you need to accomplish your goals is a fresh mindset….a Godly mindset. What is a Godly mindset? I … Continue reading Be Positive (Getting and Keeping a Godly Mindset Day 1 of 4)
Have you ever thought to yourself, “Man, I just can’t get it right today!” I have had a lot of these days lately. Yesterday, as I was driving along and belting out one of my favorite “Oldies but Goodies,” a line in the song, one I have heard a million times (okay, maybe not a million but certainly a lot) really hit me hard. Thank … Continue reading Can You Sign His Name to the End of Your Day?
What is so good about this Friday in history…the most, undoubtedly, shameful Friday in all of history? Well, of course, it is the day that Jesus Christ gave his life up for us so that we all could stand in right standing with God. Without the blood covering of Christ, we could not have a relationship with God or eternal salvation. God’s character is such … Continue reading Holy Week: Day 6: Good Friday
My apologies for being quite absent over the last two weeks. The previous series on the End of Times, kind of took a lot of time and wiped me out. I am also smack dab in the middle of a busy photography season. My plans for this week include the following: Continue on reblogging my Israel series; Making Theme Changes (yes, again); And changing the … Continue reading While We Were Sleeping Reblog #3 (Jesus, Salvation, and Jihad)
Ever had a period of time where you feel like your barely hanging in there, you are holding on to your faith by the tips of your fingernails? I will admit to having some discouraging thoughts lately. I recognize these thoughts are not of God, and I am working hard to fight them. It still doesn’t make it easy. Just when I think God is … Continue reading Sunday is Coming Again
Last Friday, we caught just A Glimpse of Rich Mullins. Today I want to take a closer look. But let me first say, I didn’t know Rich Mullins personally (which I am sure surprises no one). Everything you are about to read is just an opinion I formed through Ragamuffin and watching You Tube videos. Ragamuffin is a movie based on the beloved Christian singer/songwriter Rich … Continue reading Will the Real Rich Mullins Please Stand Up
Earlier this week we have discussed Islamic beliefs. Today, I want to take a closer look at the purpose of the Islamic religion; what is the end game? In short, I have found that the main purpose of Islam is to know, worship, and lead others to know and worship Allah. As a Christian, I can relate as I want to lead as many people … Continue reading What is the End Game? (While We Were Sleeping Part 4)
Yesterday we got a general overview of the Islam religion. Today, we will take a closer look at what roles Jesus, salvation, and jihad play in Islam. Jesus It is my understanding that the Islam religion considers Jesus a great prophet, but a mere man, not the son of God. They believe he spoke as a baby, healed the sick and lame, and raised the … Continue reading Jesus, Salvation, & Jihad (While We Were Sleeping Part 3)
A few weeks back I began a new series titled While We Were Sleeping. Yes, I have left you hanging and I’m sorry. I spent last week frantically looking for all my lost research and writing thus far. I thought for sure God would lead me to it. Unfortunately, it did not work out that way and I had to start all over. I hope … Continue reading What is Islam Anyway? (While We Were Sleeping-Part 2)
What does this picture say to you? Do you even recognize this place of worship? For those of you who don’t know, this is our National Cathedral, the Washington National Cathedral (Cathedral Church of St. Peter and St. Paul). You know the Episcopal Church (both Protestant and Catholic) where presidents’ (and wives) funerals or memorial services and inauguration prayer services have been held. … Continue reading While We Were Sleeping
