deadFAITH
So as James states in chapter 2 verse 26, “For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, so also faith apart from works is dead.”
What does that mean?
Does it mean that if I claim to have faith in Jesus but continually struggle through sin, that my faith is not real and that it is dead?
Does it mean that, if I have a faith that takes me to church every week but I fail the read my...

Feeling Testy
Am I testing You right now? How will I know? Is it me or just a mindset A mind set on me Pleasure-filled fleshly thought-filled How often do I play Annanias? or am I Saphira? Do I not seem quite happy? or am I a liar?
Acts 5:3 But Peter said, “Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit Acts 5:9 But Peter said to her, “How is it that you have agreed together to test the...

Replant
this is the life, the one I did lead
Picking it up and throwing the seed
Thorned and thistled, scattered beyond
Hoping and wishing, but now you’re too gone
- what such hope, do I have left?
- Something to pair, this brokenness?
- Or shall I just, see it a cleft?
- All but leave, it a scattered mess?
Still I feel beat, and under the knife
Full of anger, due to my strife
I had...
April Fools!!!
Wow!!! Have you ever April fooled yourself? My answer is Yeash!!!… Well I guess it could’ve been God throwing a little April fools joke my way…who knows… So I ordered I new projector bulb for my church since the warning light, “change bulb” would come on during the start up… though the projector said it still had about 20-30 hrs left on it. So I figured...

The Life
This is the life we’ve always wanted
The life you’ve always dreamed of
Now we’re looking into the distance
To see what can come next
This life of satisfaction doesn’t last
For who am I and who are you
To know what we really want
To figure who we really are
What’s over that mountain
Is down in the valley
This circumstantial life
Brings nothing to fill
Marvelous One
This life can’t describe
the wonders of your grace
Nor can words
reach the depths of your heart
///
So high are your ways O’ God
So deep is your love for me
For none can comprehend
The beauty of your majesty
///
You reached out
for me to feel grace
And died so I’d
glimpse upon your face
///
So high are your ways O’ God
So deep is your love for me
None can...

Safe
So what does it mean to be safe in the arms of God?
When people are martyred daily for standing for His name.
When this life takes advantage of us.
The Struggling. Fighting. Gnawing, Grappling.
Confusion. Worry. Depression.
Of this Overwhelming life.
How can I be safe???
I am convinced that being safe is not objective
but subjective.
We focus way too much on the fact that the crap...
“SOMETHING BEYOND
I think all Christians would agree with me if I said that...”

Shhh...Be Still
So often I put words into Your mouth.
I hear what I want to hear.
I see what I want to see.
I formulate this idea of who You are,
Without ever consulting You.
I have made our so-called relationship into…
Into hedonism on a stick.
A semi-moralistic-wannabee “religion”.
I have so quietly ignored the whispers
The still small voice that keeps saying,
“Be still and...
Break Me; Paint Me
If you would just go ahead and break me
break me into pieces
So I am no more
Strewn all over the floor
Just to be picked up
and made brand new
For if you would just break me
So I could find you
And see You clearer than before
Then I would know who I am
Who I am meant to be
Just paint me a new picture
With the water from your side
A new life with the blood from your hands

From Blind to Wait
The archaic method of our time
and longevity of sensory
is gone.
Disappeared and forgotten.
To ever go back is a wonder
and why we left just to squander.
It’s MINE! All Mine! Like we’re two.
Our attention has become even more deficit
to a crave-filled desire.
Pointing the finger
even though we are the liar.
While we count it grace
hope has stopped stirring
we continue to...
