A Passionate Heart For The Ways Of Jesus

So. I've been on what can only be called an impromptu sabbatical. The whole thing started a few weeks ago. I've started running out of things to say or write. Therefore I stopped paying attention to my blog or sharing thoughts of any kind. Not long after (of course) is when my data base up [...]
Well, if you have come to visit my blog in the last week you will have noticed some goings on.The blog literally disappeared for several days. Gone. Kaput. Database no where to be found.

It generally sounds something like this: “God will never give you more than you can handle.” I’m sure you’ve heard it before. If you’re like me, you have probably said those [...]
Yesterday, I wrote a post which expressed my concern for the church. I reminded we are to expect the world to hate us because it hated Jesus Christ first. I expressed concern for the deception seeping under the church’s gates and the need for us as Christians to be peace-makers despite the current rhetoric espoused by critics [...]
