I am not a professional writer. I am a flawed man seeking correction as I follow Jesus Christ, the perfect Son of God. I am a loved and forgiven sinner with totally depraved grammar skills. Nonetheless, I write with the intention of trying to reflect the love of Jesus in a way that displays His greatness and glory. I hope my works create open and genuine dialogue between my readers and that my Blog helps people love God and their Neighbor. My writing style often reflects the imperfect nature of my speech which makes reading my content similar to reading a letter. I make plenty of mistakes in my writings and often my words may step on peoples toes. I assure my reader that I always intend to have the utmost respect possible for whomever I write about. I always write with this scripture in mind, "Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits." (Proverbs 18:21). I believe the Gospel of Jesus Christ is Good News that all should hear. I believe the Word of God is life and I will use it as faithfully as I can with the spirits guidance. Please Enjoy my work, and show me grace!

It affirms […]

My Confession: I’m More Racist than You Think

“I went past the field of a sluggard, past the vineyard of someone who has no sense; thorns had come up everywhere, the ground was covered with weeds, and the stone wall was in ruins. I applied my heart to what I observed and learned a lesson from what I saw: A little sleep, a […]

5 things I Want to Say to My Charismatic Friends

Before I begin, I do not want Charismatic Christians to feel singled out so let me make clear that this is simply the first group that I am addressing in a series of posts aimed at reconciling differences, addressing concerns, and encouraging various groups of believers within the Church. Theological issues within the Church are […]

Find a Pace to Finish the Race: Gospel Priority & Theological Burnout

What’s up with Liberty University & Covid-19?

I will admit that I went to write this before doing research, because I was angry with Liberty for what the media said that they were doing during this pandemic. But before I felt justified enough to actually write a word about it, I decided to do my research and I learned and unlearned a […]

The Parable of Kobe & King Jesus: a Short Story

Jesus picked up the ball and with a grin, he challenged Kobe into a game of one on one. Kobe nodded yes and then jokingly suggested, “Doesn’t The Bible state that the serpent will strike your heels?”. With a smirk, Jesus replied, “Yes indeed. So perhaps a Black Mamba could strike me. But you know […]

Jesus & Therapy, A testimony & A few opinions:

“Jesus & Therapy” is a new, popular, and I would argue even beneficial phrase that is trending and very popular among many young Christians today. It basically supports the notion that one can be a strong Christian and not be afraid or ashamed of going to therapy. For the most part I am 100% on […]
