Pilgrims Progress

We as human beings, besides loving and forgiving one another, really seem to have a hard time with waiting on the Lord. We have been trained by our western culture that we should always be gratified immediately. If it isn't entertainment, or collecting things, it could be something like drugs...

Ephesians 6:12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places 2 Corinthians 4:3-4 But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those...

The Judgment Seat of Christ 2 Corinthians 5:1-11 9 Therefore we make it our aim, whether present or absent, to be well pleasing to Him. 10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether...

Hebrews 12:3-11 1 Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2 looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who...

Isaiah 43:10 Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me There has never been nor will there ever be any other god. We have heard many...

Google had a doodle today drawn by a 15 year old girl showcasing a group of kids all standing shoulder to shoulder with their arms around one another. They each had a shirt representing a religion or idealogy, with Christianity being one of them. The picture is supposed to be about world...

I think it is easy to drift in our Christian walk. God keeps pursuing, but the more we turn Him away the harder our hearts get. Eventually you end up in a pretty miserable situation. I think this is why some Christians isolate themselves, because they are turning away the Holy Spirit and...

I've tried to have it my way and I've begged God to pour His blessing out over it, and He won't. I've tried getting angry, whining, crying, complaining and none of it worked. God was always there, He was always helping me in some way or another, but He won't truly bless a compromised walk with...

Hello, and thank you for reading my blog. My name is Josh and I am 40 years old, and I have been a follower of Christ for 6 years. Before that I was in the new age, and before that I was secular and an agnostic to the existence of God I will tell my testimony some day soon, it is certainly...
