So many things can grab our attention, but in the end, we discover our pursuit for them is like grasping at the wind. King Solomon speaks of this in Ecclesiastes - how everything under the sun is like a chasing of the wind. I can be tempted to feel like this even today, but thankfully …

Magnetic Motives
If being completely honest, I am continually tempted to charge full steam ahead under my own power, my own ability, and my own insight. The good news is, I have become more aware of this reflex tendency and work to quickly step back, take a breath and seek God first. However, I'm sure there are …
Money Talks
We all have songs that seem to capture moments and themes in our lives. For me and my wife, Forever In Blue Jeans by Neil Diamond is one of those songs. For those who have never heard it, it references how money definitely talks. It has value, but ultimately, it can't sing and dance - …
“Rock and Roll”
I appreciate all styles of music, and as we know, musical styles are largely influenced by one another. For example, the expression "rock and roll" was initially used to describe the rocking and rolling motion felt when sailing on a ship.

Persistant Pursuits
When we fail to understand our greater purposes as believers, the mistakes from our past, the immediate demands of our present, and the pressures to ensure a "successful" future can compound to distract and discourage us from our most productive devotions. Thankfully, God persistently, eagerly and graciously pursues each of us with His loving truth …
Solutions For The Secular
Even though we currently live and operate in a secular world, that doesn't mean we have to live and operate the same way it does. For we are called to bring hope and light into the world through Christ. However, as we know, this isn't always the easiest thing to do. For me, there was …
“Let It Go”
Why is the song, Let It Go, from the movie Frozen so popular? Some studies have already been done to try and figure that exact thing out. One theory suggests it could be because it speaks to the internal burdens we all choose to carry around, which exhaust and strain us. So, when we seize …
