The fig leaves of pride, religiousness, judgment, and success can’t hide the truth of any person from God. God and his love are able to see through all things used to hide the truth of a person. Hiding is fruitless. Too often we all attempt to hide behind pride, religious practice, judgment, success, self-sufficiency, etc. The [...]
Expanding the Grasp of Truth
The grasp of truth only goes as far as how deeply you choose to believe in it for your life. Often I limit the power of truth in my life. I tether truth to things and circumstances, only allowing truth to speak to those certain things. I say that this truth can’t possibly be true [...]
Giraffes!
The Role of the Giraffe in Nature. Giraffes aren’t tall for no reason – they are tall so they can reach the vegetation high in the trees. However, there is another very important purpose to their height – they serve as lookout for themselves and all the other animals around them. When traveling in Africa [...]
END IT NOW!!!
I recently participated in a conference, PASSION 2013, and the launch of a new campaign called the END IT MOVEMENT. Louie Giglio is the founder of the Passion movement and has a team of amazing people around him pushing for justice in today’s world – specifically by getting the voices of the college generation to [...]
Healing Away from Pain
When it comes to finding healing most people think that they must return to the point of pain in order to heal and move forward more renewed and whole. However, this assumption is often used as an excuse to seeking healing in their life. When talking with people from all walks, and especially when I [...]
In Hard Times
In hard times one has the option of getting lost the noise of struggles or choosing to quiet the mind and open up to hear from God. Most people don’t realize that they have an option amidst hard times, and rather go on assuming that hard times must equal being overwhelmed. The option is often [...]
SELF-HELP MOVES
For far too long I have believed in the themes of the self-help notions that pervade our society. Counseling, self-reflection, self-evaluation and self-awareness – just to name a few. Further, it seems the church and its people have, at times, absorbed the self-help mentality of our society’s culture as well. I have taken many self-help moves in [...]
Getting Comfortable with the UNcomfortable
The past year has led me to a point where I realize that God is moving me to a place where I am consistently comfortable with the uncomfortable. Getting comfortable with the uncomfortable is, as you would imagine, a hard and arduous process. Looking back at 2011 I can see God’s touches all over it. [...]
Accumulated Secrets
I was listening to a great friend of mine, Jared Herd, being interviewed on the radio about his new book, More Lost Than Found (which you should read). During the interview he was talking about the pain of accumulated secrets and the devastating impact they can have on a person’s life. He spoke of his own [...]
Realigning Real Success
I have not been posting as much on here over the past 3-4 months. I will not say that it was expressly intentional but it also was not unintentional either. You see, 2011 was not my best year to say the least! But don’t worry, I am not going to go into a self-pitying diatribe [...]
