When we are lost, I think it’s often because we have been listening to the wrong voices. Both misleading voices and even our own voices. In 2 Peter 2:18, Peter states that the false prophets of the time spoke “empty, boastful words” and led people astray. And I believe the same type of voices speak…

The highlight of my week is that my headlight went out. It’s one of those things you don’t realize you need until it’s gone. But as it turns out, both headlights are pretty necessary. They are not for decoration. I noticed it when I was driving home one evening. I had gotten out of work…

Greetings everyone! This month we’re exploring the topic of lost. As Antoinette and I studied 2 Peter chapter 2, we prayed to the Holy Spirit to show us what the passage means. I’ve heard many sermons talk about how it’s a warning to false teachers. That those that lie and mislead won’t be spared punishment.…

It’s that week again! The special fifth week of the month of May. This poem came from a series of dreams I had earlier this week. In every dream I kept trying to find myself in the story. Why was I there? What was my purpose? In some dream sequences, I was on a stage…

The wind often reminds me that the most wonderful things in this world are those things that cannot be seen. I’ve learned that fear of the Lord doesn’t mean literally fearing Him, rather we must stand in awe of Him. In reverence to Him for creating such incredible things, like the wind. Like life. May…

I often forget and need constant reminding that God’s way is better than mine. That he wants our good. And that what we think is good is not always. We lack perspective, and can only see a brief moment of eternity. This poem is one of those reminders, “That the fear of the Lord is…

When I was thinking about Proverbs 1 and what wisdom means in a biblical context, I started praying to God to show me how to search for wisdom. We can just ask for it outright, but sometimes even that is difficult to do when you believe you have it all figured out. The authenticity of…

Take note of the world around you. Sometimes we don’t slow down enough to feel. To think. Right now, take a deep breath. Feel the temperature around you. The surface underneath your sensitive fingertips. What is real? What is fabricated? When I read Proverbs 1, for some reason, I thought of fake truths. I know…

This poem came from my meditation on Jonah 2:7-8. Jonah states, “When my life was fainting away, I remembered the LORD, and my prayer came to you, into your holy temple. Those who pay regard to vain idols forsake their hope of steadfast love.” As Christians, we are the temple of the Holy Spirit when…
