    I talk a lot about “turning the world UPSIDE down.” It’s something that I believe in. It’s something that I truly believe God has called us to do. It’s something that seems so irrational and bold, but really only requires us living out the life God’s called us to. It requires God living through us.…

    grace. According to Webster, grace means… unmerited, divine, assistance given humans for their regeneration or sanctification. grace. We can’t earn it. It’s completely unmerited.

    It’s always been  an often asked question… “What’s God’s will for my life?” In other words, the question is really this.. “What’s God’s specific plan for my life?” “What am I here for?” The question is a solid and valid question, but the answers we often come up with are less valid. People answer this…

    Yesterday, I came across this article on CNN.com and this photo. I can’t help but think of this…. Matthew 28:18-20 (NIV) Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.  Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the…

    Acts 17:6 “…These men who have turned the world upside down have come here also,“ I came across this passage several days ago and it has literally kept me up at night. I so desperately want this to be said about me.

    I used to pass him everyday. He’d be standing by the door every time I went in. He never said much. I never said much. I didn’t know his story. I never took the time to ask. I’d just smile and nod as I passed. He’d return the favor. I’d go on about my day.…

    Stories like this one from Time Magazine trouble me. Not just because someone committed suicide over the actions of others, but because no one seems to do anything about it. Instead, we choose to picket abortion clinics and boycott Disney. I wonder…. What would have happened had this child realized his value in Christ? What…

    For as long as I can remember, I’ve battled a weight problem. As a 10 year old boy, I can remember knowing that I wasn’t happy with the way I looked and felt. In fact, I can distinctly remember thinking time and time again as I looked in the mirror, “I don’t feel like a…

    I’m a pretty young dude. In fact, I’ve been called a “young whipper-snapper” recently. I have, however, lived life 23 years. It’s hard to live even that long without learning a few things along the way. So, here are 3 things that I know. I hope you already know them as well! 1. God’s grace…

    We all like to be around people that are like us… That look like us. That dress like us. That like what we like. We are drawn to people of similar personality and preferences. It’s the way we work. It’s the way we’re comfortable. At the same time, we were never meant to all act,…
