I believe that as a Christian matures, he will never become a “super-Christian.” (In the “superman” sense of the word.) Some Christians think that because they have grown in the faith, they are entitled by Christian liberty to enjoy new freedoms and endure more trying situations. (They say, “I can watch this movie, because it… Read More »
Two years ago, I attended New Attitude 2004, a conference for singles of all ages. That year, the topic happened to be relationships. Since then, I have shared those messages with many friends and have seen the fruit of the messages in my own life and in the lives of others. I decided to create… Read More »
Remember, that pride is the worst viper that is in the heart, the greatest disturber of the souls peace, and of sweet communion with Christ: it was the first sin committed, and lies lowest in the foundation of Satan’s whole building, and is with the greatest difficulty rooted out, and is the most hidden, secret,… Read More »
The internet can be a big time waster for Christians called to redeem the time. However, if used properly, the internet can be a great tool. The internet is a great place to practice discernment and engage the mind. (Romans 12:1,2) This week, I was able to browse some blogs. Tim Challies, a web designer… Read More »

Whenever we read the news, we need to exercise discernment. I don’t watch TV much anymore, but I noticed that foxnews.com is just like the other news sources. The news reports aren’t really that conservative. Besides that, they always feature these silly celebrity news items and their video feeds always have something sexy. Their advertisements… Read More »
Did you ever consider how much time you spend sleeping or eating? It seems like half my day is spent sleeping and eating. There are lots of things we do, that God never has to do. Every time we find ourselves hungry, sleepy, lonely, or smelly we should be ever mindful of the creator/creature distinction… Read More »
… that law school changes a person. Students come in as idealists but leave as skeptics and legal realists. Once one learns about the system, one sees law as simply a tool for prediction and manipulation in the struggle for power. I hope and pray that law school won’t impact me negatively; but that I… Read More »
Today at evening worship, Dr. Schultz reminded me to pray for things that are in accord with God’s will. God blessed Solomon because when granted one request, he did not ask for wealth, long life, and power. God willingly grants us the things we need and request if we ask in a spirit that is… Read More »
