Prescriptions from the Great Healer
Part of Jesus’ 3-year ministry recorded in Scriptures was healing many people of their conditions. You name it: the blind, the deaf, the paralytic, the bleeding, the mute, the invalid, the dead –all have been healed by Jesus. John concludes even in his book that there were many more miraculous things Jesus did but there [...]
Life at a blink of an eye
I’ll use the first sentence from a friend’s email which greeted me today, “Life is happening at an incredible rate of warp speed, I hear it going on, people running all around, a blur of busyness and purpose….” It’s my first day today since I left work, something I’ve been looking forward to since last [...]
When feelings betray
In the Four spiritual laws track of Campus Crusade, there’s a part there where it discusses the role that feelings play, at least, in being saved. How important gauges are our feelings? When we accept Jesus Christ and are saved, there may or may not be an emotional experience. Some would feel an instant peace [...]
contentment.
Because You made a way. Because I’m able to kneel at your throne. Because You are my freedom, Jesus. There’s nothing that would satisfy me apart from You. :-)
Setting it straight
There’s been a lot of rumors floating around about my departure. It’s become a hot topic among the few rumormongers in the office. I don’t get that. I don’t understand why some make it a business to know what my personal plans are. The only people that should concern this are my boss and me. [...]

His name is Matt Elrod who spent most of his [...]
Holding on to 1 Thessalonians 5
And we urge you, brothers and sisters, warn those who are idle and disruptive, encourage the disheartened, help the weak, be patient with everyone. Make sure that nobody pays back wrong for wrong, but always strive to do what is good for each other and for everyone else. Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for [...]
Is the glass half-full or half-empty?
The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. – John 10:10 The words that immediately draw me to this verse are “have life” and “abundantly”. In essence, what this verse says is that [...]
Changing colors
I was looking at my mood ring today as it turned to light blue and light purple. A minute ago, it was dark purple and green. How does that happen? For starters, I don’t believe in mood rings. I’m just intrigued by the whole changing of colors which I can’t explain. They say it changes [...]
Resurrection – what does it mean to you?
Many people know the story of the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. At one point or another, they’ve been curious about it. They’ve been, as Pastor Crim said, passive observers and followers of religion. The observance of Holy week is, after all, a yearly thing for most of us. As with traditions, it [...]
