Even the thought of Hebrews 12 with the knowledge of being SURROUNDED by a GREAT cloud of witnesses. All running together is beautiful to me. There is that resounding assurance that you are not alone. You are not in town among throngs trying to surmount the suffocating urban loneliness. You are in a race with others who share the same destination as you do.

It’s Always and Only Been Him
One thing I’ve been finding it impossible to do is to take glory for something that God has done. You might think this is an obvious assertion to make but in our prideful nature it isn’t hard for us to conceive of constantly elevating ourselves above His.

A Part of the Team (Jamaica Pt. 2)
In missions, there is no room for ‘I’ or ‘me’, not when the work to be done revolves around a certain Him. We are fit into what preacher John Piper calls God’s “architectural plan”.

Responses range from pity to outrage to apathy among others. Some, increased faith. And while I have had several of my own reservations about how…
Because Love is not Something You Earn
One of the worst feelings you can ever experience, is realising that you are not worth as much as you thought to someone you love. This could happen in a love relationship where you invest your attention, care and time while your partner just does not seem as excited. It could happen with a friend…
Living for Jesus With an Ambitious Soul
It’s been a while but today I will be responding to a commission topic. This subject was so graciously suggested by my thoughtful friend K-Lynn, this one reads: Help!
