Wrestling With God

Genesis 32 has always been a passage that has caught my eye. I know that many Christians (I especially being one) have felt as if they have been in situations that resemble a “wrestling” with God. Few, however, can compare their wrestlings with the physical exertion and exhaustion that Jacob endured that night. The passage itself provides a powerful lesson to the periods of our lives...

Walking the Way One Receives

The Christian walk is always an interesting ascend. My hope is that a long ascension is never simultaneously a long decline. I never want the facade of improvement or progress to eventually be revealed as a period of complacency or degeneration. The difficult part, however, is figuring out how to avert this state. Colossians 2:6 states, ”Therefore as you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so...

Is Christ the Means or Was/Is He the End?

What is the purpose of the universe? Ephesians 1:5 and 6 says, “In love he predestined us for adoption as sons through Jesus Christ, according the purpose of his will, to the praise of his glorious grace.” I believe that the purpose of the universe is the glory of God. This leads to the question, is Christ the means to this end, or is/was he the end itself? The first way to answer the...

Lyrics that Keep Playing in My Head

Take the world, but give me Jesus, All its joys are but a name; But His love abideth ever, Through eternal years the same. Take the world, but give me Jesus, Sweetest comfort of my soul; With my Savior watching o’er me, I can sing though billows roll. Take the world, but give me Jesus, Let me view His constant smile; Then throughout my pilgrim journey Light will cheer me all the while. Take...

Finished reading In a Pit with a Lion on a Snowy Day by Mark Batterson. Probably one of the best books I have read in a while. If you are a man and you are practically looking at ways to flame the fire of practical Christianity in your heart, this one is for you. Each chapter teaches you how to chase various “lions” of opportunity in your life rather than running away from them....

Watch

When it comes to sin, don’t wait for the miracle, ACT the miracle. Acting a miracle is different from working a miracle. If Jesus tells a paralyzed man to get up, and he gets up, Jesus works a miracle. But if I am the paralyzed man and Jesus tells me to get up, and I obey and get up, I act the miracle. If I am dead Lazarus and Jesus commands me to get up, and I obey, Jesus works the...

Being More Consumed by the Lamb than our Sins

Are we more consumed by our sin or by the greatness of our redeemer? While the greatness of our redeemer is enhanced by the depravity of our sin, I still find that I struggle with focusing on what is wrong with me more than what is right with God. In Exodus 12, God through Moses told the people to brush the blood of a lamb on the their doorposts so that God would passover them when the other...

Anonymous asked: I just randomly ran across your page here looking for a picture of a Timmy. It's like I found another me. The whole "GOD, THEOLOGY, WORSHIP, GUITAR, GEAR, MUSIC" thing pretty much sums me up. From cassadaga and takk to jesus culture and united pedalboard pictures and all your quotes and books - it's really weird. If I had a tumblr, it would look almost identical to yours....

The Poor in Spirit are Rich Elswhere

“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” What does it mean to be poor in spirit? What does it mean to possess the kingdom of heaven? The phrases are not exclusive. The former is a condition for the latter and the latter only happens by the means of the former. What does it mean to be poor in spirit? Two things: 1. To repudiate every external thing. This...

Only One Thing Matters

“Things have become necessary to us, a development never originally intended” -A.W. Tozer. Creation of man began with the external and the internal. Externally, God created things whose entire existence is to portray the glory of the Creator. Creation was laid out in a subordinate way for the enjoyment and pleasure of man. It was never laid out to be a necessity. Internally, God...

Triumphal Procession

2 Corinthians 2:14, “but thanks be to God, who in Christ always leads us in triumphal procession.” God in Christ does not just lead us in the act of coming forth from the source. That view is true, but it allows Christians to view God as a one time occasion, leaving them to be susceptible to becoming stagnant in their walk or growth in God. This can lead those...
