_Prayer on the Roof

On the roof I find much peace. On the roof I find a place of retreat. What difference is found on the roof for me? What difference between there and the private quiet room? The locked door of the prayer room? Four walls that reverberate the beatings of my heart? Let me recount, I too hope to see why indeed I chose the roof as the place for me. Is it perhaps a mere mystical preference? A toying of my own mind convincing my heart of things not there? But if I would compare the time on the roof with my ...

_What do you love best about the living Word of the living God?

A question I asked my friends on facebook. Here are their answers: How that Word never, ever fails to speak wonderful things to me, when I read it with a hungry and humble heart. —Dennis Gundersen It is life transforming it is alive and active in my life and it comes from the very mouth of God. —Rebecca Donahue Bach I love how it is personal, a Word in season from the Almighty to me! Just when I need to hear it for comfort, strength, courage, peace, on and on. —Donna Jones Lochridge That I can't live it in myself....it is only through the grace and mercy of ...

_Frailty of the Human Soul

What is it in the human soul that causes it to forget His redeemer in the first breathe of the closing of His Bible? How tragic it is that our hearts immediately wander away just minutes after closing a prayer. Frailty. Such is the condition and always will be in this journey toward the Celestial city. What a sad state of affairs in one moment to be so immersed in the magnitude of soul-drowning sweetness of His glory, and in the next moment have little or none at all of the evidence of the mind and heart of Christ. Indeed, what ...

_To Die is Gain, To Live is Christ.

Ifind that the more I reflect on my death, and especially my death in the death of Christ and Christ's death specifically, the more I find sin to be more detestable and horrible. All the more I long to be with Him in glory. All the more I long to have a glimpse of His glory in the means of grace He has graciously appointed for us weak sinners. All the more I see life's challenges as they really are as compared with the wonder that is in our Sovereign King, nothing but mere trifles. Perhaps it is there that the ...

_I Am A Fool

Comparing myself to my generation, my age group, my cultural and social context, to those I grew up with over the years living a life of material complex, I realize that it would be to no surprise if a novel fool is what I would be oftenly categorized. Two years removed from College and Academics, left far behind from what my contemporaries have achieved. Shoes, and clothes, drinks, lights and smoke flows, I have nothing of that, but I have a God that's worth infinitely more than all that. I don't have fancy pictures of beaches and planes. I don't have stories of excitement, adventure and games. Celebrations and cakes, money and friends, though to ...

_Personal Churchism

I'm currently reading John MacArthur's Truth War and it is my personal observation that what we see today in the radical changes that is happening to modern Christendom, the subjugation of Christian precepts to pragmatism, of eternal perspectives for the temporal, is all due to what I call "personal churchism", where in response to the post-modern culture, having brought out from dry communitarian Christianity, every truth claim now must be subjected, bent, twisted, contextualized, repackaged, and whatever you want to do, to fit that personal flavor that the post-modern man so desires. From there when expanded to a group of people ...
