From The Advertiser’s article, “Porn-again pastor tells of his addiction and shame“:
“For over 16 years, I have struggled with an addiction to adult pornography. As a result of this secret life of sin my body would often break down,” his confession began.
“Two years ago, I reported that I was suffering from cancer. The truth is [...]
Though my song be taken from me,
yet will I sing,
yet will I praise You.
Though the joy be taken from me,
yet will I laugh,
yet will I shout unto You.
Though the light be hidden from me,
yet will I walk,
yet will I run after You.
Though my heartbeat be slain within me,
yet will I trust,
yet will I follow You.

What if God was taking the American and Austrilian churches through a “wilderness”. What does that mean exactly? Man, I wish I knew. Just know that the wilderness is different for me and you. For some, it is this supposed place of “refuge” that is away from God where people sought out their own will. [...]
Off and on all day today, I keep thinking about the whole Michael Guglielmucci, Healer song thing.
The one thing that keeps going through my head is this: when I sing “Healer”, I don’t think of Michael, Planetshakers, Hillsong, Australia, my church, the crowd or even the worship team onstage.
Seriously, I think about heaven, angels, throneroom, [...]
I read the articles on Todd Bentley (article) and Michael Guglielmucci (article) and I keep thinking about three promises in the Bible.
My first instincts were “Ugh!”, “What the crap!”, “Why should I be surprised!” and insert whatever thoughts I can think to make me all high and mighty and better than those guys.
But the Holy [...]
I will not celebrate that I did bunch of things in order to be with my God.
I will celebrate the fact that at my very worst, at my ugliest, God was trying to romance me. Even for this piece of dung, He couldn’t possible love me more. So much so, delivered His wrath that He [...]
God, I just wanted healing for these infections upon my heart. I didn’t want to be in pain any longer. I didn’t want to collapse because my heart failed me.
But what if this is my thorn? But what if this is my broken hip? But what if this is my firstborn who died after a [...]
Who am I, dear God in heaven?
Who are we that we are able to worship You
You who gave me a voice to sing
hands to clap
arms to raise
feet to dance
head to bow
knees to bend.
You gave me these things
so that I would be even worthy enough
to give all of these things back to You
to simply worship you
I [...]
My son likes to say, “God provides for the sparrows in the air and the flowers in the air. He will provide for me. I trust in Him.”
If God will help out the worms, surely He will help me?
Isaiah 41:14 (NKJV) “Fear not, you worm Jacob, You men of Israel! I will help you,” says [...]
I don’t feel worthy to even call upon His name to save me. I took a prayer request and I don’t think I can even go to Him.
Genesis 18:27 (NKJV) …”Indeed now, I who am but dust and ashes have taken it upon myself to speak to the Lord:”
But I will try.
