“[A preacher’s message] is not to rely on theatrics. It is not to rely on technique. It is to rely on God the Holy Spirit Himself to sovereignly work within the hearts of those who sit under his message. [A preachers] duty is to bring the word of the cross to the listeners, and [...]

I want to be the God of my Godliness. I just want to be in control. I want be the Christian that has it all together, but not the Christian who is moved by Christ. I want to move myself for christ.
I want to love others, but I wont let others love me. I don’t want [...]

Despite what was probably my better judgment, I wrote a response to a blogger who was bent on slandering Christianity.
Matthew 7:6
6“Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and then turn and tear you to pieces.
Okay, Okay, Okay, Bible! [...]

Sometimes, when humanity strikes me, I become lonely. Grappling at the love of God with no avail for the putrid lack of righteousness that inhabits my flesh.
I often feel full of contempt.
I was sitting in my dorm and I began to think about Love.
How we are all searching for it.
How it only comes from God.
How [...]

One cool thing about the beginning of a new year at college. Churches give out a lot of free food.
I’ve had so many hamburgers I could vomit.
But I was at one church, and searching for the bathroom, I found a girl sitting out side under a breezeway to get out of the rain.
I invited her in for a hamburger. She was dusty, wearing a sonic uniform and 8 months pregnant. [...]

During my schools orientation I saw a boy from my home town. I didn’t know him well, but I knew was not a christian.
His Name is Garrett.
I started to talk to him, and I asked him if anyone had made the gospel clear to him.
He said he no one had.
I asked him if I could.
He said [...]

Life is but threshold
Death is but a door
Concealing the greatest awakening
The quench for something more.
Yet every tongue in every land,
Sounds their battle cry.
Through the tears that sting their eyes,
We say “There must be more to life!”
But the eyes companion to frustration,
Are blinded from the truth.
When the whole earth is filled with Glory,
Creation points to you.
Within [...]
Love

So I have been praying that God would teach me how to love.
That the greatest commandment would not be my greatest failure..
And i have loved so unlovely in the past…
I should write more… but I’m just so excited about the love of God.
this will just have to do for now.
