It's what I like about God. He's not what you expect. In fact, He's never quite what you would expect. He's not predictable by any means.I really like this verse. Matthew 23:1212For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.It seems that many a time in my own walk I see these patterns. I'm on a God-on-Fire kick and I'm knocking down doors in the name of

I finished reading 1 Corinthians last night. As much as we all hear the example of plants in the Bible. Sower of the seed, mustard seed, seed seed, etc. I got a more clear understanding of the symbolism of a seed and the plant that it becomes.I always interpreted it simply as a plant lives, it's living if it's growing it is serving it's purpose. That's how I always understood it -- at it's

With Valentine's Day coming up, it's a very lonely time for 100% of the single population. People try and find love in the wrong things. I've been a victim of trying to find love. But we've really got to focus on God and all things will come together. This Valentine's Day I'm helping out at the Church, which is the first time I'm not playing a Halo on Valentine's Day since 2005.This year I'm

Youtube Username: T0X1CfaithAlright, So, I was in the shower this morning and God revealed to me a simple way to explain the Godhead (trinity) Father, son and spirit.I just stood their in utter amazement and just kept saying "Yes, Yes Lord, Amen" And I just praised Him in those few moments because I felt close to Him, and I love feeling closer to Him. Those feelings are what He longs for us to

This is my prayer for tonight, after Bible study I scribbled this prayer down in my notebook. I'm crying out to the Lord. I'm overcome by worry, when I have all the peace in need in the Lord Jesus Christ.Lord, LORD!Why do all these things matter that shouldn't matter? Why can I not always be at peace with Your presence? Lord, bring me closer. Help me to share Lord. You will know us by our fruits.

I received this video a few weeks back. I watched the video and I've been in constant thought about what I heard and took from this video since then. There is a lot of truth in this video and rather than me try to explain it, I highly recommend watching it. It's a little lengthy, but anyone that has an interest in their spiritual health, should watch it.Let's make some New Year's Resolutions.

So tonight I went to another "College Bible Study." It was amazing. Everyone was so nice and you could tell everyone wanted to be there. Everyone was just... a light. I had a conversation with someone who shares the concept of listening to only Christian music. It was great because we both knew bands that no one else knew. He agreed that most Secular bands have their Christian counterpart.At one

It's been hard these past few weeks. I've been pondering everything that I've discussed and everything that I've heard on Seesmic. I haven't been on there recently either. I should be having more quiet times but I've been getting distracted every time I sit down. I also have a hard time reading through Isaiah. I'm reading through that now and it's raw "Godmeat" that I have a hard time digesting

Alright, it's been awhile. I've been getting caught up on a website (www.seesmic.com). I've been calling myself the "Unofficial Minister of Seesmic" and having deep discussions about Christianity, religion and other people beliefs a lot recently. Mainly when I should be posting onto this blog. Basically I'm viewing myself as an online missionary and any prayer would be greatly appreciated. I

There hasn't been a post on here in a while. I've noticed, I'm hoping you've noticed. I only post to this blog when I feel that God wants me to post on here. Usually these posts are triggered by something I've heard (sermon, song, quote, gossip?!?!), but I post when I feel a chord has been struck in my heart.I feel I haven't heard from the Spirit recently because I've been getting caught up in

Sometimes life is tough. Well, obeying everything the Bible says is tough. It's definitely a hard and narrow path to stay along, and we've already discussed fellowship and how crucial it is to flourishing as a Christian. But we also need to keep our brothers and sisters in check, without judging, but to keep them along the path that the Bible lays out. It's a very gray area to determine when you

In discipleship, Brad and I are reading through "Under Siege" with the junior high guys. In the book, it discusses Satan and demons pressing "buttons" to try to control our emotions and keep us from the "enemy" (God). And it got me to thinking, what are the things that a truly keeping me from God? What "buttons" do these demons press for me? What in my day to day life does not honor God?One of

I'm finally home from Acquire the Fire. Well sort of. I'm at the home of some friends from Church, enjoying the fellowship. Some are meeting in a small group and some others are enjoying a movie. But I decided to sneak off for a few moments and just reflect on this weekend and how I feel God is calling me.It's tough, I struggle a lot with really listening to God, but since this weekend I've been

Alas, I was stumbling again when I ran into an article on thepoint.breakpoint.org. The article is written by Chuck Norris and the full article is called "Oprah's New Easter."My good friend Chuck "call's out" Oprah's faith and belief system ("A New Earth") and briefly compares them to the Bible and Jesus' teachings. The main reason I like the article is because Mr. Norris comments on the current

We could all use a little more faith. I wish I could give myself more to God. I'm 19 years old, and a Sophomore at a Community College and I'm here because of a lapse in faith my senior year in high school. I was accepted into five colleges, three christian colleges and two state colleges. Christian schools are expensive, private institutions that intimidated me and my attachment to money. I've
