God loves to find His children yearning after Him and seeking His presence. Please find encouragement here to embrace that quest.
We have to get it! We cannot stand missing out on something our hearts desire. The sad part of our modern greed drive is that we set our sights too low. We chase after fleeting things like pleasure, money, and a name. Our Shepherd offers us infinitely more when He offers us Himself. If we... Continue Reading →
One of the most mind-boggling themes to ponder is why the Almighty God would listen to us. The atheist brushes off the subject or uses it as an excuse not to tackle it. Even good Christians will often purposefully put off dealing with it. Yet when souls are in the fire, they do not have... Continue Reading →
Christianity today walks down a similar road as the religions of old. Where we once directed the gaze of our souls to Power and wonder above, we hone in on ourselves. We lose the essence of worship. We pray, sing, and listen, but only to our liking. Huddling closer to the herd, we convince ourselves... Continue Reading →
There is a Prize. Not everyone talks about it. Some talk up the side benefits but fall far short of the real Treasure. If we listen to the crowd, we could get the wrong impression.
