A post I wrote on our church’s Facebook page. I think (so I could be wrong) it should go for every church and for every individual Christian as well… If you are lost, or just lost your way. If you are hurt, hurting, or have been hurt. If you need something, but can’t seem toContinue reading “We Want You”

Overcome
We are not born innocent We are born sinners We are not pure of heart Our hearts are deceitful Our ways are not good only to be tainted by what we are taught Our ways are wicked from the beginning Hatred, envy, greed, lust, selfishness are all inborn characteristics We are born unrighteous into aContinue reading “Overcome”
Down for the Struggle
If you are struggling. Keep struggling. It’s better than not struggling. Better than giving in. Better than giving up. Everyone struggles. There is no way around it. You have struggled, are struggling, and will struggle. It’s called life. And contrary to some Christian teachers today, becoming a Christian does not exempt you fromContinue reading “Down for the Struggle”
That Great Sermon?
That sermon was great. It was amazing. We hear this all the time from so many people every Sunday. Oh wow, the sermon today was great. For a sermon to be great it has to be effective and for it to be effective change has to happen and for change to happen Jesus has toContinue reading “That Great Sermon?”
Lesser of two evils…
Another election season…another time of melodramatic, hyperbolic wranglings about people moving if ‘so-and-so’ is elected, or how if ‘the-other-so-and-so’ is elected it will be the end of the world as we know it (and I feel fine). You aren’t moving. And the world will keep turning after Nov. 8th. I’ve written about this before (seeContinue reading “Lesser of two evils…”
Despite
Just another poem. How do I live? How do I carry on despite everything? Everything the world is throwing at me and everything of my own doing? This contains my answer… DESPITE I have hope Despite it all The folly of it does not escape me I am not totally blind To the worldContinue reading “Despite”
Beyond All Belief
Just another writing. How things are bad and good at the same time and how the echoes of the good come from God. Or something totally different. Beyond All Belief There is a smell within the aroma of Spring The sweetness of the grass and its tickle in the nose Is interrupted ever so slightlyContinue reading “Beyond All Belief”
Running to Nowhere
Just a poem on feelings from a moment in time…not much explanation is needed (I don’t think)… Running to Nowhere I can’t see the light Unforeseen forces push me about Doubts fill my head It won’t stop until I’m dead Running Running from you Running to you I’m running Running Running Running toContinue reading “Running to Nowhere”
Where’s Ya Hope?
I have written about this before. Bears repeating, especially as the 2016 election heats up. Too often during political seasons we put our hope in politicians and also predict doom and gloom when someone we don’t like or agree with gets elected. Nothing wrong with that – unless you are a Christian. We believe GodContinue reading “Where’s Ya Hope?”
The Heart of the Gospel
Just another one. Something to think about, go hmmm about, put in your theological pipe (so to speak). Are there holes in this one? Yeah there are in everything that I write. But so what, they’re just thoughts and things to think about and question and disagree with (if you want to be wrong) orContinue reading “The Heart of the Gospel”
