    As the crow flies

    I don’t remember learning the expression “as the crow flies” but I find it applies to my walk with Christ. The inexorable path of Jesus is linear in nature. Everything has a beginning and everything, besides Him, has an end. So there goes Jesus flying over this amazing mountain range full of...

    What does it mean to be meek?

    To be meek is to realize that we are week and incapable of living up to Gods standards on our own. To be meek is to be humble enough to say, “God, I can’t do this without you.” I grew up in the teachings that I could do anything I set my mind too. Throughout my life I preferred to dive into...

    Renewing Your Balance

    Our balance is a function of the inner ear sending messages to the brain about the relation of our body to our surroundings. Our brains are hard wired to receive this information and send messages to our bodies to respond in a way that keeps us from falling. When a person has their inner ear...

    My trip to Haiti

    The story of my trip to Haiti began 7 months before I left Alaska. This was when I applied for my passport under the belief that God wanted me to go on a short term mission trip. I was fully convinced that God wanted me to go to Haiti and bought my plane tickets within the next two weeks. As...

    Predestination vs. FREE WILL

    This is an interesting debate that has gone on for a long time. There are other sites like this that I have seen amazing arguments break out in. The Bible tells us we have both! Exodus 17:9 Moses said to Joshua, "Choose men for us, and go out, fight with Amalek. Tomorrow I will stand on the top...

    lessons in Hope

    I just returned from Haiti. While there, God tought me alot about hope. Rom 5:3 More than that, we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, Rom 5:4 and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, Rom 5:5 and hope does not put us to shame, because...

    Pure Desires

    Jesus is the purity in us. He is our righteousness. Without Him in us there is nothing good in us. He is the only one who never had idols. He is the only one who never sinned. Its not that He makes us pure its that He is our purity. The Holy Spirit burns away all that is not Him. I have changed...

    Revelations of Jesus

    Jesus gave us a formula for awakening and growth in Him. Not only is it how we come to understand that He is the son of God but it is how we come to understand all aspects of who He is. Mat 7:7 "Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you...

    Futility of the mind

    24Eph 4:17 Now this I say and testify in the Lord, that you must no longer walk as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their minds. Eph 4:18 They are darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, due to their hardness of heart. Eph...
