I Wanna Be Like John
John the Baptist was two things. One, he sounded like he’d be absolutely crazy. Wearing camel-hair and eating bugs. That’s full on West Virginia right there. Number two is that outside of Jesus, he was the greatest man who ever lived. The Bible says it. Not me. So I do not think we can ever … Read more
All Things = All Things
Ever get in one of those moments where God just pops into your mind. Either it’s with Scripture, a song or simply just thoughts of who He is. If you don’t live in Tampa, or most of Florida for that matter, you probably wouldn’t know that it’s pouring outside. I was riding with my buddy … Read more
Who Then Is This?
He said to them, “Why are you so afraid? Have you still no faith?” And they were filled with great fear and said to one another,”Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?” [Mark 4:40-41 ESV] As we read Scripture, there are two reactions to Jesus’ miracles. Fear or Hatred. Some saw … Read more
Found Without Seeking
“I have been found by those who did not seek me; I have shown myself to those who did not ask for me.” – Isaiah 10:20 Have you ever wondered why you, if you’re a Christian, believe in Christ? Think about that. Why did you ever come to faith it Jesus? Is it because you … Read more
Don’t Get Manned Up
Ever been in a class where you didn’t even feel like you could ask questions. You have that one teacher who just tears students up who ask questions the teacher doesn’t like. It’s uncomfortable. I question a lot of things and a class like that would not fly well with me. I need to question. A … Read more
Owe Me? I Owe You!
Do you ever think God owes you something? Be honest. I have. I can’t think of specific times where I said, “God, you owe me!” However, I’ve had a mindset like that. Just think of a time, where something doesn’t go your way. Whatever it might have been, you thought that event should have gone … Read more
Why Even Believe It?
Before reading this, know that I do not want to come off smug or arrogant. I just think some people don’t actually think about their beliefs. The Pew Forum (a research group) came up with this statistic of Southern Evangelicals: 36% of professing Evangelicals in the South believe their religion to be “the one, … Read more
Not The Awkward Sword Comment Again!
“Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. And a person’s enemies will be those of his own … Read more
Isn’t there ever a time to just. . . blog? (AKA What I had for lunch)
You know, I never take the time to just blog. I was talking to my boy, Tito Diaz (author of the blog http://dasswassup.blogspot.com/), and I realized I never just blog about life. My focus of this blog is more for getting my devotional ideas down, so I rarely write about life. I think it’s … Read more
Be Doers of the Word!
I was convicted today about being a doer of the word and I remember a preacher who said something similar to my conviction. Ever see a football team getting ready for a big game? They get crazy! They get so excited and fired up to play it’s ridiculous! I can just imagine the team … Read more
