Sickly
I find myself unwell. enfeebled of mind and body. I recall when I was a child such runny noses and coughs were a part of life coming and going so often that they were barely noticeable. Yet now in adulthood I find they are detrimental to my consistent routine. I snort and gasp and cough…

ACBC Man essay.
Explain, using biblical categories, your understanding of the image of God in man. God is glorious, Holy beyond our comprehension, good, full of lovingkindness, mercy, truth.

Soul Song.
What are souls but music and stones. Through time my soul sits in my heart, a stone dead to the world, Unbroken and unbreaking. Awake my soul and sing. Stones turn, dust inhaling life. Sweet music pours forth, Too loud to be heard by mere flesh. As a rock splitting and water pouring forth So…

Break. Confidence. In what do we place our confidence? In what do we place our trust? It is fairly mainstream to say “confidence is key.” and as far as the world is concerned that is perfectly right. Those who are more confident tend to succeed, as with everything too much confidence can lead to disaster…

Idols
We do not know how closely we hold our idols till they are torn away from us. With them come skin, hair, blood. They have grown into us, or we into them. Like a tree wrapped in wire, we take them into ourselves strangling slowly over decades. How it hurts. Being saved, the cutting away…

The importance of doctrine.
The importance of Doctrine in the Christian faith can not be dismissed. I say this because throughout my teens into my early twenties I was under the impression that the important part of being a Christian was loving christ, and loving your neighbor as yourself.
