When I used to think of the word “idol” many images come to mind. People dancing around a golden calf. People bowing down to a statue of Buddha. People worshipping the rising of the sun on top of a high mountain. But often times what I forget is that an idol isn’t just a statue […] Read more…
Sometimes it doesn’t take a storm to destroy us, a friend to betray us, or a sin to make us fall… all it takes is just one little thought. Physical battles take place on a battlefield with armies, with weapons, and with fire. But spiritual battles often take place in the battlefield of our mind […] Read more…

We live in a world that is all about the numbers. And the higher the number, the better it is for you. Whether it’s the amount you have in your bank account. How many followers you have on twitter. Or how many people know your name. It’s easy to get caught up and start caring […] Read more…
Sometimes I wonder what Christians would look like if they stopped reciting the scriptures they have memorized in their head and start living by them, literally.
