When should you forgive?
“My response to this question is: not too late and not too soon. How’s that for precise guidance?
Not too soon. I worry about “quick-draw” forgivers. Whenever you forgive somebody, you blame them. If you don’t blame somebody for something, you don’t have to forgive them. Responsibility and blame are always [...]
Music Monday
The following song has been very popular on the radio because of the publicity it received from being featured on the 2nd season finale of the the hit tv show, Grey’s Anatomy! The lyrics are very emotionally powerful I find, and speak of many feelings I’ve had or am currently feeling. I want to [...]
5 Pick Up Lines to Get You the Girl
Do you believe in love at first sight, or should I walk by again?
If you stood in front of a mirror and held up 11 roses, you would see 12 of the most beautiful things in the world.
If I could rewrite the alphabet, I would put U and I together.
I’m sure glad I brought my [...]
Things we’re supposed to do
“What do you do when you forgive someone?
It is amazing how difficult that question is. Did you ever think about it? What do you actually do when you forgive someone? I believe that God does three things when he forgives us and when we forgive, we do the same three same things.
The firs thing you [...]
Bad news, good news
“I have bad news and good news. The bad news is that people can hurt you. Sometimes people you trust let you down, betray you, abuse you, and it goes deep. You not only feel hurt, you feel wronged. You didn’t deserve it.
You can’t forget it. It’s like a videotape recorded inside your mind, and [...]
Phriday Photos
Today’s Phriday Photo is coming a bit delayed cos I did not have a usb key with me at work. I spent the first hour photoshoping photos on my laptop in the office because I still didn’t have access to my workstation yet. But anyways, here it is, much delayed:
Concerning the issue of love and [...]
Should Worship Be Fun?
Should worship be fun? If we take the exhaustive testimony of Scripture, the answer would have to be a resounding NO. “Fun” doesn’t seem to characterize many of the scenes where people encounter God in the Bible. We’re told to worship God with reverence and awe, for he is a consuming fire (Heb. 12:28-29). To [...]

What is love?
Many of the non-engaged, non-married Christians I am coming across recently seem to say that they have learned and understood what love really is. From everything that I have heard and seen of them, I humbly submit: I disagree–I don’t think so. What do you mean by saying that you’ve learned what true love really [...]

Ten Reasons for Church Planting
Huge numbers of unchurched North Americans call for new churches.
The number of churches in our land has actually decreased in proportion to our overall population.
New churches reach lost people better than any other form of evangelism.
The older most churches grow, the less evangelistic many become.
Many established churches are now in survival [...]
Music Monday
I’ve been pre-occupied with the job thing, and missed Music Monday. My apologies, better late than never. I think I’ve been so focused on other things that I just completely zoned out. That… and I just sent in all the application requirements for Southern Seminary, and the 2007 Desiring God Pastors Conference is going on, [...]
Broken
It seems that my blog’s Search and Categories function are broken. Sorry! But I don’t think I’ll be fixing those issues, until I release my revamped / redesigned blog on Feb.21. Thanks for your patience;-)
EDIT:
It is now fixed!
My Sins, My Sins, MySavior
Wow, I love hymns. I never really knew how much I miss singing them and speaking the gospel-saturated truth that is in most hymns until I was deprived of hymns at Urbana06. Thankfully, during the same convention, I attended the “Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual Songs” workshop during the last seminar session–it was an amazing 2 [...]
This is how it works
Derek: You left without me. Oh, now you’re not talking to me. I was a jerk. Sometimes boyfriends can be jerks. That doesn’t mean you stop talking to them. You get that I’m saying “I’m sorry,” right?
Meredith: You yelled at me for no reason and then you walked away and now you show up here.
Derek: [...]
I just want to explode
An open letter to whomever this may concern.
I first want want to apologize for keeping this in all this time. It has been building up for a long time: this passion and zeal in my heart and running through my veins. There is this massively great degree of difficulty that I have to go through in [...]

Hoping for some kind of sign
Self-explanatory:
Lonestar, where are you out tonight?
This feeling i’m trying to fight
It’s dark and I think that I
Would give anything
For you to shine down on me
How far you are
I just don’t know
The distance I’m willing to go
I pick up a stone that i cast to the sky
Hoping for some kind of sign.
