The following are verses I would recommend to memorize and meditated upon to combat the sexual temptations of porn. It should always be our desire to glorify God in all that we do and this includes our sex lives. Galatians 5:1 "For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit … Continue reading Anti-Porn

A new YouTube channel named Awaken is currently under development. Once it is live, you will see links and references to it on this … Continue reading Coming…
The Way of Love
I Corinthians 13: 1-8 (ESV) - Read each line, pausing before the next. "If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have … Continue reading The Way of Love
Nicea
There's a lot of confusion around what is known of the Council of Nicea and I'd like to set the record straight. First, it was the first official council to call bishops from all over the Roman empire. It was called as the Roman Emperor Constantine saw division within Christianity and he desired unification to … Continue reading Nicea
Not Theoretical
The following is an excerpt from a message given at my church and is great Christian food to meditate (spend time thinking) on. "Paul said in Romans 6:12: "What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin so that grace may increase? May it never be! How shall we who died to … Continue reading Not Theoretical

Where do we find the truth? The answer is right there - "your word is truth." The word is all that's … Continue reading John 17:17
Imitators
God calls us to reflect Him in all things. The Greek verb for imitators is pronounced mim-ay-tay' and it's meaning goes beyond merely copying. It means, "positive imitation that arises by admiring the pattern set by someone worthy of emulation." God is certainly worth such imitation and he gave us the perfect example to emulate … Continue reading Imitators
Anger
As Christians, we are to ensure our anger is righteous. How do we do this? The word we see for anger in Ephesians verse 6 is Greek - or-gid'-zo. It is not an unbridled rage or anything of the sort but indicates a particular form of anger. It is "a deep-seated, determined and settled conviction." … Continue reading Anger
New Things Coming
As you know, I don't typically use this blog to speak on anything besides many of the basics of Christianity. Well, today is still Christian related but instead more an announcement - some new ventures are being undertaken. First of which is part of a collaboration with a member from my church: a new YouTube … Continue reading New Things Coming
More Than
God is more than love. He is justice. He is truth. He is immutable, holy, righteous, sovereign, merciful, triune and more. The characteristic people like most is love, but how is love defined? Mankind has tried to define it in many ways and its many definitions either have flawed components/additions or are pale shadows of … Continue reading More Than
