I Have Come To Bear Witness

One of the most unsettling feelings is walking into a room and questioning your reason for being there. It might be simple forgetfulness, or it could be a more profound sense that you don’t belong. Oftentimes, when people get in front of a group of people to speak, they feel as if they don’t belong.Continue reading “I Have Come To Bear Witness”

From Woe to Whoa

Fairs and festivals have long served as vital community gatherings, bringing people together for shared experiences. For example, the upcoming Antelope Valley Fair in Lancaster, with its concerts, agricultural celebrations, art displays, traditional food, rides, and games, aims to provide a space for celebrating local culture and history. Many of us have fond memories ofContinue reading “From Woe to Whoa”

I Have Sent Them Into The World

Prayer, in its most profound sense, serves as the vital conduit for deepening our relationship with God, fostering a cohesive unity among believers, and empowering us to fulfill our sacred mission of disseminating His truth throughout the world. It is far more than a ritualistic utterance; it is a serious and intimate act, a sacredContinue reading “I Have Sent Them Into The World”

A Little While

We have a fixation with time. Not that it is a negative thing, but even throughout our weeks we have schedules that we strive to live by. Our church services begin at a certain time, and we expect them to end by a set time. However, there are some of us that when things getContinue reading “A Little While”

Abide

A profound yearning to make a difference often stirs within us. This desire finds itself in pursuing a career that brings hope to others or dedicating our time to serve those in need. As followers of Christ, this desire to better our world for the Gospel is a shared calling. However, a sense of unworthinessContinue reading “Abide”

Do The Works That I Do

Reflecting on the disciples’ misunderstandings, even after extensive time with Jesus, often prompts me to question their shortcomings; however, introspection reveals my errors, despite having followed Jesus longer than many of them and receiving years of theological training, fostering a greater sense of grace for their struggles. Christian Contemporary Music that I listened to growingContinue reading “Do The Works That I Do”

Love One Another

There is something genuinely odd about the history of Christianity; the more we grow and progress in spreading the Gospel, the more it inevitably leads the Church closer to a split. This oddity is not unique to the modern church, as it began to split formally in the 11th Century, with its roots dating backContinue reading “Love One Another”

Peace Be With You

No matter where we look, it seems as if there is something that we are told that we should fear. Opposing sides of every argument tell us that if we don’t side with them, there will be some grave issue that we will unearth and fall victim to. This manufactured fear already amplifies and feedsContinue reading “Peace Be With You”

I Came To Save

With every new beginning or goal we set, we have to ask what the rationale is for making a change, or in some cases, why we keep going in the same direction. We must question, “What is your why?” In the social media context, everything is done to increase engagement, which could lead to moreContinue reading “I Came To Save”

I Am The Resurrection

During seasons of anticipation such as Advent and Lent in the church, we are tempted to keep our eyes affixed on the end game, either Christmas or Easter. The anticipation mimics the child awaiting the gift under the tree or at their birthday. No matter how grand that finale might be, without dwelling in theContinue reading “I Am The Resurrection”
