New Years: 2012
This year has been the hardest year I have ever had. 2011 has been a year of heartbreak, searching and growth. As dark as a year as this has been I have grown in vast ways.. and I can only give credit to Christ, the giver of life. I could not have made it through this past year without His loving grace. This next year, I vow to do my very best to live less for myself and more in the light of...

Why should you inherit His Kingdom?
I will say to my God; I do not deserve the breath I breathe nor the air in my lungs. Therefor just as the latter I do not deserve the former.

I know you are just, do with me what you will; let it come as it is in...

True Christianity is a Fight
”There are thousands of men and women who go to churches and chapels every Sunday, and call themselves Christians. Their names are in the baptismal register. They are reckoned Christians while they live. They are married with a Christian marriage service. They mean to be buried as Christians when they die.

Christ, the Narrow Door..
..Jesus continues, saying that the narrow door is closing. Luke 13:25–27, “‘When once the master of the house has risen and shut the door, and you begin to stand outside and to knock at the door, saying, “Lord, open to us,” then he will answer you, “I do not know where you come from.” Then you will begin to say, “We ate and drank in your presence, and you taught in our streets.” But he will...
