When You Feel Pointless

We all know the story of Esther. A beautiful woman who was chosen above all others to be queen. After being launched into one of the most powerful positions in the world (at that time), she went on to save the lives of thousands of Jews throughout the land. Obviously, she is a highly respected […]

How Do We Hear God?

Dependancy is an easy habit to have. I have noticed, in 21st century America, how easy it is to bypass speaking to God directly. We go to a friend, a pastor, a mentor, a habit, a drug, and more. But not God. And why is that? Today I was reading in Jeremiah 21. The Prophet […]

Studying the Bible

Originally posted on James and Cindi Runyon:
One of the most important tasks any Christian can undertake is to study the Bible. God’s Word is God breathed and reveals His heart for humanity yet so many never open the most shoplifted or purchased yet least read book in history. It is no surprise why so…

Christmas Comes

Christmas comes with children singing, Christmas comes with sleigh bells ringing, Christmas comes with frosty nights, Christmas comes with snowball fights. Christmas comes with Santa Claus, Christmas comes with snowy floors, Christmas comes with robins and reindeer, Chsitmas comes with a hearty cheer. Christmas comes with gold, frankincense and myrrh, Christmas comes with Jesus’ birth, […]

Sing a song of seasons! Something bright in all! Flowers in the summer, Fires in the fall! -Robert Louis Stevenson, From A […]

Driving in the Darkness

Driving down the abandoned road, things looked scary. Those things were probably very normal looking in the daytime, but night was a different story. The trees looked dark and unsettling, as if they knew something you didn’t. They grew up close to the road, giving a claustrophobic feel to the drive. Once in a while […]

The Unpardonable Objective

“The Unpardonable Objective” written by James T. and Cynthia A. Runyon, is one of the most amazing books I have ever read. Hudson Blackwell, an FBI agent, is assigned to use a newly-created machine to travel back in time. His mission? To capture the would-be assassin of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Enlisting the […]

Evangelism?

We are called to love God and take His Word to the nations, but it’s possible to get confused. How are we supposed to evangelize?

In The Backyard

I always loved going to my grandparents’ house. Their high, old-fashioned manners, the smell of my grandfather’s cologne (which filled the house), and my grandmother’s cooking all held wonder for me. But the thing I loved most was the backyard. Small figures dotted it, and I enjoyed searching for them. There was the ant, with […]
