The story of the bible relays the depravity of man since the fall, the history of redemption sovereignly ordained by God, and the rule and reign of Christ. The entirety of Scripture is framed by the covenants made with man by God. The narrative of the bible begins in Genesis chapter one, where God is…
🤍 1 Peter 1 🤍
If ever a letter was written that suggested sure expectation to face suffering, yet at the same time provided immeasurable reason to hope and persevere through those sufferings, 1 Peter is that letter. During a time of rising opposition and persecution toward the early Christian church, the apostle Peter writes a letter to encourage Christians…
Reflections on Evangelism and the Sovereignty of God
As followers of Christ—people who have been saved by God’s grace—it can be difficult to grasp the concept of God’s sovereignty in election working through the evangelism of His people. But as J.I. Packer explains in his book Evangelism and the Sovereignty of God, this concept should be difficult to grasp, for it is an…
The Grace of God
Some of the most beautiful songs ever written have been in response to the awe and wonder that have captured a person overwhelmed by God’s grace. To realize that one “once was lost but now is found” is truly music to the ears, and the wonder of it all is enough to take one’s breath…
Cello
All sounds so loudly I hear, The still absence of my love so near. Were that I heard nothing But the sweet sound of his return, Footsteps on the porch, The doorknob turning, His voice calling, My heart throbbing... But this music is not here. Only percussions of Silence in the dark, The fan…

Yet somehow, this Creator of the universe has been put on trial by His own creation—haughty men who object to the ways of their Creator,…
Journey to You
I wake up in the morning and all is well, The day is fresh and new; But it isn’t long before the enemy comes And tries to pull me away from You. I immediately sense this spiritual war And I know what I have to do— I kneel and pray and face the day And…
Prayer
I came to You in prayer today Not knowing all that I would say. ​Your Holy Spirit moved in me,​ Spoke through me like poetry— Prayers that I could not invent, Yet truly were my heart’s intent. So rapidly the time passed by; I don’t know in which hour I began to cry. You showed…
With You
You’re all I’m living for, There is nothing more To realize or to find— You are my peace of mind. I’ve seen all the rest, It’s tragedy, at best. But You pour out Your love Like sunshine from above. I soar with You on high In Your bright, sunny sky. And all else disappears As…
