The "D" Word

Depression. Nobody ever wants to talk about it.
Some of the most faithful people in the Bible- the psalmists, for example- struggled with feelings of extreme depression and anxiety. There is a huge stigma attached to emotional problems such as depression and anxiety (which just happen to be two of the most common emotional health challenges). Sadly, this stigma seems to especially...

Abba daddy, I ask You to annoint my ears to hear Your voice, annoint my hands to work at Your plan, annoint my feet to go only where You lead me. Sanctify me for Your purpose, and circumcise my heart to desire what You desire for me. You have set me apart for holiness. Amen.

Great sermon series from Tim Keller. If you scroll down to the “sermons and studies” section it’s the first sub-section. There’s seven sermons with audio and study guides.
I haven’t gotten into it yet, but I look forward to it!

But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him. But he must ask in faith without any doubting, for the one who doubts is like the surf of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind. For that man ought not to expect that he will receive anything from the Lord, being a double-minded...
Another day of life has been granted to me from the hand of God. Some people say that every new day is a gift, that’s why they call it the present. But more than “just” being a gift, life is also an invitation to love. God has breathed His breath of life into us for the purpose of loving Him and being loved by Him (He even went as far as to send his only begotten son to reconnect...

“I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.”- Phil 4:13. And everything means everything. It means paying that mortgage, acing that exam, forgiving that loved one, being delivered from that besetting sin. Christ strengthens us, we can’t be trying to do it on our own. We are not God, its time to let Him do His job.

I really wanted to stay offline for awhile. I wanted to give God some time you know read the bible and read a good book about the word or faith. But, I realized my surroundings distracts me. I feel as if I’m dirfting away from what is real. The only hope I have is in you guys — your entries and stuff. I have no one to really talk to or help me grow,but these simple blog...

Our God is amazing.
So I was bored in class and I was thinking about all that God has done for me just in the past 3 months. (In terms of blessing me, answering my prayers, things like that). Some of it is pretty miraculous. I hope that by reading this it is a testament to God’s glory and power.

What does it mean to be saved?

Sometime ago I was viewing a video about Joseph Smith, his life and how the Church of Latter Day Saints was born and there was something that the actor playing him said that stood out for me.
In the town that Joseph Smith and his family lived there were many other denominational influences around him. According to the video, he read the Bible with his family and went classes but...

The human race cannot take credit for the Gift of...
I think it is tremendously important to realize that Jesus was not man’s invention -man’s genius or effort did not develop Him - Jesus was and is the Gift of God. His story is not of a man becoming God, but of God becoming man.
