No Greater Investment: Go Dig
Hanging on by a holy thread, One which will not let you go. No greater gain nor guide for life. It takes only coins to buy a book from the seller, but the cost is time to plumb its depths. Men oft purchase the chest, yet prolong-neglect the treasure. The shelf can be full while … Continue reading No Greater Investment: Go Dig
Lord, Help Us See
In 8th grade I thought I had pretty decent eyesight. A coach told me to go get my eyes checked out. A quick appointment with the Walmart eye doctor revealed that what I had was not particularly decent; it could even be called indecent in the sense that my eyesight was shockingly not good. As … Continue reading Lord, Help Us See
Low-Lit Trails in a Darkened World
Or, Means of Grace which Light the Way As a child and youth, hiking, camping, and backpacking became beloved escapes. These were the closest thing to a hobby I maintained while scrapping my way through engineering school. I can’t tell you what season or year this story comes from, but I know it was a … Continue reading Low-Lit Trails in a Darkened World
What Are the Chances?
What is providence? Providence is the way God is actively and intimately at work at all times and in all ways; he is truly sovereign. He is not the clockmaker who has set things in motion and is now hands-free, to be called upon again only in times of troubling issues. He sees all, knows … Continue reading What Are the Chances?
Fighting Words: Against Dead Religion
When your faith rests solely on Christ, you will make him known to others. You will not see this as a once in a while event but as the delight of your daily life.

America—Date Night…Poetry?
America—Date Night…Poetry? Some wild things have gone on the past three weeks that have led me to be driven around by family and friends recently. It’s good to get off the couch and out of the house. My back is tight and cabin fever is real, and I need to move to start working through … Continue reading America—Date Night…Poetry?
Going East. Returning Home.
It’s about that time… Sometimes when we are preparing to head back out after time in the United States, people say, “enjoy your trip!” In some ways, the sentiment is well received; it’s an awkward interaction and people don’t know what to say. At the same time, one of our goals is to disciple supporting … Continue reading Going East. Returning Home.

What is it that Christ has done?
God is perfect and holy. Adam willfully sinned against God and that sin separated man from God. All from Adam’s line have a sin nature which the flesh has no ability to undo. Christ came into the world to save for Himself a chosen people, the elect. God had a plan from before the foundation … Continue reading What is it that Christ has done?
