Just Right Is Not Necessary

Yesterday morning in church a specific line stuck out to me: The Holy Spirit doesn't need everything to be just right in your life for Him to do His work through you. We were talking about Paul the apostle and how he had a prison ministry, but from inside as a...

All of a Sudden

Backsliding (which is usually Christian-speak for sliding back into the bad parts of who you were before God saved you) isn't something that happens all at once. It usually happens little by little, like slowly raising the temperature of water or slowly getting used...

Jesus, Friend of Sinners

Worth It or Not

All that is gold does not glitter, not all that glitters is gold. Everything worthwhile costs, but not everything that costs is worthwhile. In life there are many situations, encounters, and choices that we have. Sometimes what's worth cost or risk in one situation...

Tokens, Signs, and Memorials

While not always necessary, it's nice to receive a token of friendship, or a sign of good will, or some physical display of affirmation or confirmation. I have a few objects that remind me of friendship and some things I've learned while knowing certain people. Two of...
