Sacrificial Love in Servitude
Luke 22:26 GNT But this is not the way it is with you; rather, the greatest one among you must be like the youngest, and the leader must be like the servant. To be great in Christianity is to serve.

Why doesn’t God do lots of showy miracles?
So the accusation often comes up,”If your God is real, why doesn’t he do lots of showy miracles around? Why isn’t there a cross in the moon. Why don’t tongues of fire show up from time to time saying,”Jesus is LORD?” etc etc etc”. This question can come in different attitudes. It could be one… Continue reading Why doesn’t God do lots of showy miracles?
In the service of the King:Bearing fruit
I think one thing in a Christian life we concern ourselves about is bearing fruit. The Bible says each Christian bears 30, 60, or 100 from the parable of the sower. Fruit isn’t literal fruit, but spiritual results with Christ being the vine. In Christ as we act and love towards others, we help out… Continue reading In the service of the King:Bearing fruit
Empire of Sacrifice
Hello. I’m about to discuss an intermediate difficulty life change in your walk with Jesus. If you’re new to following Jesus, this subject might seem difficult to digest.

“Forgiveness as a Core Virtue”
Forgiveness is a character of God that he wants us to embody. Forgiveness is a requirement for two people to live in peace because we inevitably wrong each other.

“Always labor for the kingdom”
Do you remember when Oscar Schindler broke down because he wished he sold his watch, his car, everything he owned so he could save Jews from death? It was powerful, and he is correct. If we can give up material possessions to save someone else’s very life, we should readily do it. I think it… Continue reading “Always labor for the kingdom”
“Wisdom of the Wandering Dog”
So my neighbors own a black, large, farm dog. It wanders the farm and doesn’t cause any trouble because it is friendly. It might even serve some purpose by killing groundhogs which mess up farm equipment. Its name is Roxie and I think it is because its previous owners knew its affection for rocks. If… Continue reading “Wisdom of the Wandering Dog”
Judge Not, Yet Discern

Modern society will like to tell you,”If you think what I am doing is sinful, don’t bother me, your book says it isn’t right to judge.” In fact… Continue reading Judge Not, Yet Discern
Why Christianity Makes Sense
I’ve heard many people complain,”Christianity makes no sense”. They’ll then say something in regards to common themes like,”Why did Jesus have to die for me?” or “Why did God kill people when he is supposed to be a good God”. To some people, they simply can’t piece together why everything had to happen like it… Continue reading Why Christianity Makes Sense

In this article, I’m going to write about something that is near and dear to me: God given passion and drive. People often say negative things about Christian zealots.
