Review: Once, Original Movie Soundtrack

I sit, listen and focus on the unforgettable song Falling Slowly on the original soundtrack to the movie Once. Just in the opening notes, I can feel the tips of the fingers pushing across the strings of the guitar. Then you have Glen Hansard’s voice start effortlessly with just a tiny hint of throatiness come [...]

Don’t Be Anxious

There is so much I wanted to post about this week: Pornography, Marriage, Forgiveness, Love, Calvinism, attending multiple churches (or how not to succumb to peer pressure), Seeker Churches versus Believer Churches, Dispensationalism, The television show on BET called “Meet The Faith”, etc..
However, as I am writing this at 1:00AM Monday morning, all that I [...]

Tithing and Giving, Part 3: Bitten in the Butt

I am going to be short and sweet on this.
I cannot remember the last time I paid tithes.
No longer can I blame the excuses of “I don’t belong to a church” or “I am separated and have to pay child support.”
The truth of the matter is that I never ever thank God for providing for [...]

Tithing and Giving, Part 2: Payment and Heart

One of the things I was reminded by a friend when it comes to Tithing and Giving is that Tithes and Offerings are two completely different things.
Tithes are payments to the Lord. He has blessed you and you pay Him a tenth first. The rest is yours.
I have much more time to spend study and [...]

Tithing and Giving, Part 1: Foolishness

I did want to make this a multi-part post but I also didn’t want to create the longest homepage in existence. Therefore, you are going to get multiple parts. (Judging by the average length of my articles, it might be a good idea anyways. Let us see how it works out.)
I know that a few [...]

Review:: Ron Block’s Door Way

If you are not familiar with the personal beliefs of this banjoist and guitarist, Ron Block, nevermind unfamiliar with his work, then this review would seem to almost contradict my previous post.
I ordered this CD before the my light switch of worship was flipped on and it arrived a bit after the electricity had already [...]

Can I Pray For You? by Craig Groeschel

When you start a blog on all things faith, hope and love in your Christian walk, inevitably, you will run across other blogs running in the same direction.
Among many others, this particular blog I am drawn to because it is written by a pastor who is incredibly honest about the mistakes he made while running [...]

Song: We Will Worship The Lamb

Amongst all the contemporary worship out there with you kids and your new music, I still like the old stuff. I still like Gospel and Hymns and songs I grew up with back in the 70s and 80s as a kid. The songlist at my church for the weekend worship service always includes a song [...]

Follow-up: Fear of the Uncertain Future

“The more I pray, the more I felt as though I am getting pushed out of my job at work. When I dispose every single bit of my will for the Will of God, I felt everything I did was a mistake at work as though I could not do anything right. When I continue [...]

Holding a secret for about six months

There is many things I go out of my way to be humble especially for those things that come at the grace of the Almighty God.
One of the things I cannot deny that I do have terrific group of friends whom I love so dearly. Some of them are friends with each other, some have [...]
