God Hears
“I called to the Lord in my distress, and He answered me.” There are many who would echo these words. Myself included. He is there. He hears. So why do we wait so […]

Passion can be a good thing. Don’t hear me wrong on this. God-given passion can change the world. But the truth is, we are imperfect. Fallible. Blind even. Too often we are […]
Sunday’s Song
Some days the song in my heart is a simple, “I need thee, Oh I need thee. Every hour I need thee”. Other days it’s a jubilant, “You’re a Good, Good Father, […]
