Isn’t it interesting that Jonah, while fleeing from the Lord, asked to be thrown into the sea for the storms to calm instead of repenting to the Lord and saying he’ll do what the Lord has asked him to do? “The sea was getting rougher and rougher. So they asked him, ‘What should we do... Continue Reading →
What do you ponder?
In this life, there are so many things for us to think about and consider. There are situations going on around us, challenges we face, ways to succeed, etc. but how much time to we spend pondering on the things of the Lord? “Great are the works of the Lord; they are pondered by all...

Do You Know His Voice?
In John 10, we read about who Jesus is, but we also read about the response from His children.

What is Your Goal?
As an athlete, I have always seemed to have a goal in mind. When I was younger, it was moving up the ranks as a goalie so I could play hockey in college. This kept me working throughout high school, training and eating right so that I would be healthy enough to attain my goal.... Continue Reading →

Abundantly Blessed…

The Eternal State
So we started this series with the authority of Scripture, and then looked at the Trinity - One God eternally existent in three persons, which is deep even for people who are theologians (or people who study God.

Regeneration for Salvation
One of the things that I love about video games is when your character, your avatar, has lots of lives. When you die, you just need to wait for your character to regenerate. Regeneration is new life. Spiritually, our walk with Christ requires that we be regenerated (or born again). But before we go there,... Continue Reading →
