In the morning when you first wake up and after taking some stock in your immediate surroundings (making coffee), this is when the enemy and the flesh tend to take advantage of you. I’ve found that it happens as either a sudden thought in regards to… Continue reading Practical Prayer part 1
Heart Check
So, I’m really not a big “smash sinners” guy. You know what they say about people who live in glass houses, how they probably shouldn’t vacuum naked and all. So this post isn’t about that. God gave us the cross because he knew we were basically going to suck and suck big-time. We all suck… Continue reading Heart Check

No reflective pause at the start, no praising Him for this or that thing, no coming before him in the mighty and incomparable… Continue reading The God of Serious Men?

I wouldn’t lower myself to that. Who am I kidding, I totally would. But I’m not. Right now. This is about our excess and selfishness… Continue reading Feed others not yourself, Tubby McChurchian.
Christian JERKS
“So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple. Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be seasoned? It is neither fit for the land, nor yet for the dunghill; but men cast it out. He that hath… Continue reading Christian JERKS
