I am frustrated with today’s politics, so much so that I feel a bit politically homeless. I don’t fit in their camp and I don’t fit in their circle. Anyone else feel that way? “I’m a Christian who is theologically conservative & socially compassionate, too conservative for progressives & too progres…

Jesus is first in my life! That’s part of a declaration of truth I say over my life on a regular basis. Saying it doesn’t make it true, but if it’s true I want to declare it over my life.

The grace of God is more than just God’s desire and ability to forgive our sins, it is His power to help us when we need it most! So often, we only view God’s grace as His forgiveness.

How much do I trust God? That question is something God has really been challenging me on recently. I mean, when you look at the Scripture as a whole, it is one long test of faith and trust after another. Adam and Eve, don’t eat from this one tree. Do you trust me? Noah, build a boat the…
No, that is not a mold of my giant schnoz in the picture, and no, I’m not talking about your actual nose.
