Do You Love Me?
15 When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.” He said to him, “Feed my lambs.” 16 He said to him a second time, “Simon, son of John, do youContinue reading “Do You Love Me?”
It Is Finished
Any task that is done well will ultimately come to a completion at some point. At least that’s what I tell myself every time I look into my garage, which needs to be cleaned and organized. However, it requires a lot of work, and there is always the temptation just to go in and throwContinue reading “It Is Finished”
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.

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”
