recently I have been intrigued by a discussion on Demian Farnworth’s blog: Fallen and Flawed. For those of you who are not familiar with his blog, I’d encourage you to check it out. He has a gift for clearly explaining various aspects of Christianity as well as other religions and worldviews. In the past few [...]

i will not fear
Trial after trial
and my heart questions why
Has my God forgotten me?
Does he even hear my cry?
I am weak. Where’s His compassion?
I can’t see His hand or hear Him now
Won’t you speak God, give me comfort
As I trust you through this trial…
Then I hear you say “don’t be afraid
For I will never leave.
In your trial [...]

every day shattered lives are restored
I saw this commercial the other day and was freshly reminded that God has the power to change lives. He has changed mine so drastically.
Remembering this gives me fresh hope to believe that God can change hopeless relationships, fix battered lives and make blind eyes see. All to often, I lose hope, and fail to [...]

through the blood
its the only way that I can be made clean
only through Jesus
on the cross,
where His blood was spilled to reconcile me.

faithful to the faithless…
Genesis 28:15 Behold, I am with you and will keep you wherever you go… for I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you.”
Psalm 121 I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth. [...]

“i love you just the way you are”
I feel so unworthy to call upon You
my conscious condemns me with shame
I can’t earn forgiveness for all that I’ve done
and yet I hear my Savior say…
I love you just the way you are
my precious child come unto Me
My blood was shed for your redemption
I love you just the way you are
So when I am [...]
